Phantom of the Opera/New York cake

Y

My cousin turned 16 and her mom was taking her to New York City for the weekend to watch "The Phantom of the Opera". She asked me to do a cake that would be used to reveal the surprise. I made the mask out of fondant and covered the 2 tier chocolate pound cake with white fondant. I then used black fondant to make a cape to go down the back of the cake and to make beads to go around the top layer. I used it also to make a city scape of NYC to go around the bottom. I finished it off with a real red rose.

Little Einsteins

This was made with cutouts of the characters and ships that I laminated and were perfect to stand up in the cake.

Uterus

I had a strange request. Someone was having a hysterectomy and wanted to celebrate, so here it is:

What to do with extra icing

When I have extra icing, I hate to throw it away. Most of the time, it's a little of this and a little of that, so it's crazy to save it. So, sometimes I let my kids decorate something for them. On this particular day, I drew the bear, and they filled it in. It was a good lesson for my 7, 5, and 3 year old on how to hold the bag so that icing didn't come out of the top. It was very memorable afternoon with my sweethearts!

Monogram

This was a graduation cake for someone. These are the colors used in her room that matched the decorations for the party.

Hula Girl

This was patterned after their invitation. It was for a Lual birthday theme.

Owl 1st birthday

This was for a first birthday. It matched her invitation, plates, napkins, etc. It was half sheet cake size.

This was her little smash cake.

Sombrero

Sombrero cake. The bottom is a 12 inch 2 layer cake.

I pod

I Pod Cake. I made the apps with starbursts. Fun teenager cake.

Dinosaur Birthday

This is a cake designed to look just like the invitation.

Disney Themed Cake

We had a joint birthday party for my 3 year old daughter and my 1 year old daughter. Since we were going to Disney World a few months after their party, we chose a Disney theme. The small Minnie Mouse cake was the baby's cake she could eat for her 1st birthday. The two tier cake was for them both, but the 3 year old blew the candle out on it. I found some edible images from Walmart that I used around the sides of the cake.

TV Dinner Cupcakes

Chevrolet Fan

This was a cake for a big Chevrolet fan who was turning 60.

Train cake

I used popscicle sticks for the tracks with a little icing across them. The mom of the little boy provided several trains to go on the cake.

Angel cake

A sweet little angel cake for a sweet little girl. I used edible glitter on the dress and sparkly gel for the wings.

Snow White Cake

This is a Barbie cake that I replaced with a Snow White doll for my niece.

Spaghetti and Meatballs

This is a plate of cupcakes made to look like spaghetti and meatballs. I used Ferrero Rocher candies dipped in strawberry preserves to represent the meatballs and sauce. I used buttercream frosting for the noodles.
I would have done this on a smaller version on a dinner plate, but I had to have enough for an entire preschool class, so I had to use all 24 cupcakes.

Cupcake pull-apart cakes

I was asked to make a pull apart cake to look like the invitation that a client was using.

Each cupcake was made of 15 cupcakes. I used the same colors that were used on the invitation and even used the same chenille that was used on the invitations.

So, when put together, it was 45 cupcakes. I was very pleased with how it turned out.

Rock Star Birthday

My daughter turned 5 and wanted a Rock Star party. So, I found a cake like this online. Each tier had 1 layer chocolate and 1 layer yellow cake. I ordered the edible images online and had a picture from each year of her life put on them.

Vania's Wedding Cake

I was asked to make this cake for my sister-in-law's sister. The bottom layer is a 16" square. Above that are round layers, size 14", 12", 10", and 8". Each layer has raspberry filling in between. I used buttercream frosting. I did it all in white and the bottom picture is the cake after the gum paste flowers were added. The gum paste flowers were not made by me, but made by my sister-in-law's aunt in Mexico.
