Massage Table Cake (kinda NSFW?)

This cake is probably my favorite so far.  It was the second time I have ever used fondant to cover a cake, and I had a blast making the man.  Everything about the cake was good, the way it tasted, looked, the TIME it took (which wasn't long compared to many other cakes I've made), even the way it sliced!  Only regret...I didn't get a nice platter or flat sheet to put the cake on :-( It was for my cousin so...oh well i guess!

I made modeling chocolate with peanut butter melting chips and covered rice crispy treats with it for the man.  I made chocolate cake with homemade strawberry whipped icing for the filling (it's always a huge hit)  It tasted sooo good!  It was a really big cake, I made two full sheet cakes then cut them in 1/4th's.  I needed to make it long and skinny to get realistic proportions for the table.  I loved the fondant for this because I wanted it to look like a sheet over a table, so I didn't need it to look flat, just "fall where it may".  The man IS...."biologically" correct underneath the sheet, just over proportioned, lol!  Anyway, everyone loved it!  Everyone wanted a piece of the man, he actually tasted amazing!

Turkey Cake Pops!

These turkey pops are some of the hardest and most time consuming of all cake pops, but they are the cutest! Well...I'm torn between the turkey and witches for Halloween.  They are both adorable.  What do you think?

Anyway, obviously I used candy corn for the feathers. I like to use the regular ones instead of the caramel candy corn (has a brown end instead of yellow).  Plus, it's hard to get the caramel candy corn, because it's only available in the fall, and you have to buy a mixed bag. The regular ones stand out more and are much more colorful. 

The head is a chocolate covered almond, but I've used caramel squares before, which I prefer, because they also stand out better and are brighter against the chocolate candy coating.  The nose and red thingy also stick better to the caramel square.

The beak is a mini candy coated chocolate chip, the red dangley thing (whatever you call it, lol) are jumbo heart sprinkles, and pretzels for the legs.  Like I said they are time consuming, but worth it! They are also HUGE.

London Cake

I made this cake for a woman turning 90 years old.....90!!!! How amazing is that!?  Anyway, one of her sons was planning the whole party and he told me that she was born and raised in London, and he thought it would be great to have a London themed cake.  So I made a two tiered marble cake and my homemade cream cheese frosting for the filling and the outside, and homemade butter cream frosting for the pictures.  I really love how the cake turned out!  I printed out images and put wax paper on top, then with a very small tip, i traced the pictures with the frosting, then put them in the freezer to harden.  Then I simply put the image on the cake and CAREFULLY pull the wax paper off.  I had to fix some of the pictures, but all in all, it turned out awesome!

"Thank You Cake"

I made this cake as a surprise.  It was for a company called Lotus Dog Training and Boarding.  This amazing woman rescues dogs, trains, and boards them on her 3 acre land in a storage WITH heating and air conditioning.  Her work is really amazing and many dogs have been saved and adopted out because of her.  ONE neighbor complained and she got shut down :-( (there is more to the story, it's just really sad) Anyway, she was having a "thank you" party for all her clients and friends, for their business and support.  So I made this cake for her.  It is the lotus flower and dogs prints that were on  her business card.  It is marble cake with homemade strawberry whipped filling. (I know, I totally messed up the "thank you" part on the cake :-/

Holloween Cake Pops

Adorable Halloween Cake Pops!  Witches $2.50; Pumpkins and Ghosts $2.00.  Ghost Pumpkins $3.00  I love using the mint chocolate for the witches, it ads so much more yummy flavor!  The witches hair, I used gum paste, but usually the black licorice "wheels" work the best, but I couldn't find any.  The hat is an Oreo with dark chocolate Hershey kiss, and the nose is a tic tac!

My favorite witch!

Mr. ghost is not pleased....

I love the ghost on the far right "d'oh!"

yeah yeah....he looks like the has braces.

These cupcakes were really awesome!  I made the ghost body from two mini reeses ups and put fondant over them.  And the pumpkin is a whopper with gum paste wrapped around.

Impromptu Baby Shower for twins

 So I got an order for an impromptu baby shower for twins, a boy and a girl.  It was held at a morning woman's business meeting.... at 7:30 in the morning...so she didn't want anything too sweet...lol. How can you do that?  So I made berry cupcakes, with real mixed berries and whipped icing for the frosting.  Little pink for the girl with fondant flowers and blue with fondant baseball bats and ball.  Both have a dark chocolate drizzle.  They were so yummy!

1/2 sheet Wizards of Waverly Place spell book $60.00

 This cake was really awesome.  Layer of vanilla cake, layer of mint chip, layer of white.  it was about 1/2 a foot thick and a 1/2 sheet.  $60.00

Ice cream cake! Vanilla cake with mint chip ice cream, COVERED in chocolate ganache! I'm sure it tasted AWESOME!

So I had to watch a bit of the shows and movie to really find items that stuck out to me, of course the spell book. 

I was really happy that it actually looked like a book! The wand is the character Alex's wand. The necklace is the stone of wishes from the movie, and the weird thing is the "mind reading" device that is in one of the episodes. In the show, it was literally made out of a toliet paper roll, macaroni, jewels, and glitter.  I made all the three props out of gum paste, pretty good, huh?

glittery gold!  I was really happy with this cake!
