Anyone in here decorate cakes?

[Carys]

So many cute new cakes added since I last commented, but just popping to say wonderful work ladies, and Lisa_mae that hot pink and zebra cake is rockin'

thanks carys.

Here is a cake that kept me up all night making all the little balls for the boarder. You can't really tell from the picture but it had a tail coming out of the back of the bottom tier. This is the biggest cake I've made and it was pretty heavy.

Very nice. I wish I could make cakes like that..

Those little balls are really cute, the red bottom tier with the simple yellow buttons is what sets off the whole cake for me though

I bet those balls took forever. I did a cake with a ball border (not nearly as many as those) and I was so sick of balls by the time I was done. If I had to roll another ball I was going to strangle something. It is super cute!

If you take the fondant and roll it up like a snake, then take a bench scraper (or knife) and slice the roll every inch or so.
Roll the peice of fondant into a ball. This will cut your ball making time in half.

Yeah, that is what I do but half the time is still half too long.

Here are the cakes from the weekend:

Bobby Jack from Limited Too

Butterflies and Polka Dots

50th Wedding Anniversary

Just a little 8" whipped up for a charity raffle at DH's work. A gal there has a tumor so they're having a fundraiser for her.

Very cute, I've been wanting to try a cake like this.



Here is a cake i made for a friend this weekend.

i feel like the only flower i ever get to make is the plumeria.

Lisa, do you have an airbrush? The color on that cake is very smooth.

Airbrush is my next big purchase. I'm really anxious to play around and learn to wield its power.

no air brush, i just mix the color into the melted marshmallow before i add sugar. then i brushed on some luster dust. I want to try an airbrush to, but I'm running out of room to put all my decorating stuff

These cakes are gorgeous!!!

I can't remember if I've posted this before - my friend Anne left advertising to start a full-time career as a pastry chef, focusing on cakes. Her business has really taken off huge in the last couple of years. I love surfing over to her site and checking out the cakes from time to time. http://www.pinkcakebox.com/

This is my current favorite one ... it changes a lot!:

I don't decorate cakes, but I love to look. Your friend's site is amazing. Thanks for sharing it!

Cakes from the weekend...

I did a first communion cake and a wedding shower cake too but the files are on my camera which is currently out of batteries.

MOSMOM...Your work is outstanding! I'd love to just be allowed to sit quietly out of the way and watch you decorate a cake. I'm really impressed!

 

[MosMom]

Thanks! It would be messy, I can tell you that.
