Cake Decorating!
 

Post away your decorated cakes! I love seeing what everyone comes up with for birthdays and other events! Especially if you turn a shaped pan into something other than it's originally intended shape!

Philip's 1st birthday Alligator cake April 08
Large round pan iced blue (used grass tip with leftover from alligator to cover what I ran out of icing on the blue!), alligator made out of half of the 3D wilton bowling pin pan. Scales with petal tip, eyes and nostrils firm buttercream with black coloring painted on with paintbrush for vivid color. Teeth were "spring" candy corn that used the green shade to blend in. Jelly bean "rocks" detailing for border on bottom of cake (was a hit with the kids!)

Those are cute! I used to do them when my kiddies were really little...well the first two...the 3rd hasn't gotten much..LOL

I did Holly Hobby, Raggedy Ann, Thomas the Train face, Tigger.... I think that was it...

Re: Cake Decorating!
 

I love the alligator and the Bob the Builder! So cute and very creative!

I will see what I have on photobucket...

Re: Cake Decorating!
 

I love the castles! So neat! And Hello kitty is adorable-- so many star tips! I tend to smooth rather than star-tip things completely.

Do you use the store-bought fondant or do you use a different recipe?

Re: Cake Decorating!
 

I made marshmallow fondant, except for the red and black. I think it was CakeLady who told me to look into Marshmallow fondant, since the premade fondant tastes so awful. Marshmallow fondant is tasty and very easy to work with. And when it starts to get hard, I can just zap it in the microwave to soften it up a bit.

Re: Cake Decorating!
 

These are all so awesome. :rockon I don't have any in photobucket, except the one in my avi. My cake site is down otherwise, I'd send y'all to that to take a peak.

Re: Cake Decorating!
 

subbing. I love cake decorating -- my late mother was a professional, and I love using her cake decorating stuff. :heart I'll try to post some pics later.

I love that R2D2!

Oh, and Lindsey, I have that little fisherman guy too! :tu :heart

Re: Cake Decorating!
 

Wow, beautiful cakes! I can't wait to make some creations of my own!

off to look up MMF

Re: Cake Decorating!
 

Here is the cake I made last month for Isabelle's princess party. I used a barbie (removed the legs), one small round cake pan, and a steel mixing bowl for the dress (they were sold out of the wonder mold at Hobby Lobby that day). Typical decorator's icing. Mice are an idea from Family Fun magazine. They are strawberries with licorice tails, icing eyes and noses, and almond sliver ears.

Re: Cake Decorating!
 

Those are so lovely!
That PB cup cake looks delicious!! What kind of cake/filling is it?


I am doing a cake for a shower this weekend. My back is really hurting a lot, so I am actually kind of dreading it and have been procrastinating. I should have made my topper already, hopefully it will set up in time.
Anyway, I will post a picture when I am done.
