guitar hero

my first guitar cake made of buttercream. so many issues but that is what makes me better fixing the issues. the strings are spaghetti noodles sprayed with silver luster dust. the accents are all fondant.

get your drink on!

an order was placed for a 1/4 sheet cake for a grandmother who's nickname is burgundy. why you ask? it's because she likes her red wine. my kind of grandmother! they wanted martini glasses. so here is the design i borrowed. they say imitation is the best form of flattery!

pardon my reach...but that's my name

this was a request from my girlfriend for her parents anniversary. she wanted the print of her father's tartan (the pattern on a kilt) to be the fondant drape on the cake. WHAT!!! i thought how am i going to do that?? fondant dries so fast and i need time to put the lines in and then fold the fondant without it cracking....enter fondarific! you may have hear the name on ace of cakes. this fondant doesn't dry as fast which was a huge help! looking back i would have made some changes with the lines but i liked how it came out. they loved the cake...which is all i really wanted.

here is her father's kilt.

here is the cake.

beachy bridal shower

i know. i know. i have been away for a very long time. but i am back!!! woohoo! so this is what you have missed.

here is the cake that i made for one of my closest friend for her bridal shower. she likes the beach so her than to be sister in law created the design of the cake. buttercream, sand, shells and coral. okay it isn't exactly what she designed...i kinda took some liberties with her design and simplified it. what? i was busy that week. i need my beauty sleep people. anyhoo. here are the pics. the shells and the coral are made with fondant. the sand is brown sugar.
