Cakes for other people...

This cake was the very first cake I made to give away to someone. I made this for my grandmother to bring to her friend who had just moved into a new home. The cake is vanilla with almond buttercream. The borders, roses, leaves, writing, and bow are also made out of almond buttercream.

I made this cake for my neighbors birthday last February. The cake is chocolate with vanilla buttercream. I decorated it with marshmallow fondant that I made. For all the flowers i used a cookie cutter to cut them out of fondant. I used the rest of the almond buttercream to pipe the border and the little white dots in the centers of the flowers. For the flower on top I wrapped a toothpick in green fondant then piped on leaves and added the flower.

I made this cake for my best friends 17th birthday in August. It is made out of chocolate cake and decorated with fondant. On the board I piped music notes out of chocolate frosting. The only thing on this cake that wasnt edible was the strings which i made out of sewing thread.

For my Uncle Craig's birthday in August he asked me to make him a kayak cake that looked similar to the kayak he has. The cake is made out of pound cake and is iced with almond buttercream. After I carved it the cake was falling apart a little so I covered it with ganache that I had made so it would harden around the cake and hold its shape. The kayak is covered with marshmallow fondant and the water is made out of a mixture of almond buttercream and piping gel. I made the paddle out of a toothpick dipped in ganache and little pieces of fondant. For the dirt/beach I used crushed up oreos. For the rocks I used the left over ganache and rolled them into truffles.

 I was hired to make this cake for my moms friends moms birthday in October. This cake was chocolate with vanilla buttercream and decorated with fondant. For the border I used one of my decorating tips to cut pieces out, then I rolled them into little balls. For the zebra and cheetah print I cut each stripe/spot out of fondant.

I was hired to make this cake for my neighbors birthday. It is decorated in all buttercream except for the goals (My mom bought the goals for me at the craft store). For the grass I used the grass tip and piped all of it.

I was hired to make this cake for my Senior Project teacher in October. She had family coming to her house and she wanted a cake. The top cheetah print cake was vanilla and the zebra was choclate. Both cakes had almond buttercream and were decorated in fondant.
