Christmas 2010
How: The bottom layer is a double layer cake shaped as a gift with ribbon. All the decorations are hand made which includes Santa with his bag of gifts, menorah and mistletoe. The top layer has a reindeer, a Christmas tree, and gifts. To make the Christmas tree, I rolled a green cone and used scissors to create texture. The side of the top layer has a silhouette of Santa's sleigh. The border is a wreath where I used the same scissor technique. And the base of the cake has elves, snowmen, candy canes and nurse penguins.
Wedding Anniversary
How: 2 tier cake with white fondant. I made the figures out of rice krispies. Then I made the flowers and painted them with pink and yellow pearl dust. I used icing for the pearl border.
Tiki Party
How: 14" round bottom layer, 10" middle layer and the tiki head is made out of rice krispies. All the flowers are handmade. I wish I knew how to work with smoke and stuff to make cool effects. I guess that challenge should be next on my list!
Hello Kitty and Keroppi
How: Square cake with pink fondant and salmon colored fondant ribbon. I did a quilted design with edible pearls at each intersection. I made each character and tiny gifts out of fondant, secured with toothpicks and icing.
Minnie Mouse
How: Bake the cakes. Bottom layer is a 10" double layer, middle layer is an 8" double layer, and Minnie is made out of rice krispies. I started sculpting Minnie, then I used fondant for her face, dress, shoes, etc. I used white icing for the details. For the border, I used wilton tip #18 to make the shell borders. For the Minnie silhouettes, I rolled out balls and flattend them evenly, then I made the red bows with white polk a dots. When you stack cakes, always remember to use dowels and icing to secure your cakes.
