Creative Cake Ideas

I used the Wilton Sports Ball pan and one Duncan Heinz orange cake mix (I work full-time, I take shortcuts). Sliced a little off the bottom of one half so it doesn't roll around. Covered bottom half with buttercream and then with marshmallow fondant (the only kind to make--get a recipe off the web).

My brother asked me to make a cake for one of his friends, and he said I could be creative with the design. I was delighted to hear that, and had fun with incorporating rainbow colors and balloons. The birthday inscription is on both sides of the cake, and each of the letters has a little candle wick and flame on top!

My daughter and I are a team ... I baked up these cupcakes and frosted .... mean while my daughter created these adorable items we used as toppers .

I use the homemade Wilton white cake recipe. Used 9 inch 3 layers cake pans. Put buttercream icing with marshmallow fondant. Made the bow from marshmallow fondant also. Used the circle fondant cutters to decorate.

I made this cake for my father's 60th birthday. It's a yellow cake decorated with butter cream and fondant. The base icing in white is butter cream because my dad loves butter cream. And the ribbons were made of fondant.

This was an elegant two tiered bridal shower cake. The colors were red, so I decided to do brush embroidery technique and painted the red flowers and leaves onto the fondant covered cake.

Make a good amount of dark and white chocolate ganache.

I made this cake for an anniversary. The bottom tier is a 9" Chocolate Cake, and the top tier is a 7" Butter Cake. Both these amazing recipes from this site.
I covered the cakes with rolled Chocolate Fondant and detailed with rolled fondant lace. I've recently been very fascinated with sugar models and been practicing them for the last one month.

Our niece allowed us to decorate however we wanted, my husband was smoothing out the frosting when he lifted the spatula and the first spike was formed. So he started playing and the Spiked Wedding cake was born.

By simply lifting the spatula to form the peaks and the cake turned out wonderfully.Our niece loved it. This is our favorite one we have made so far.

The cake was decorated using a wine glass filled with jelly beans as a topper. The numbers '2' & '1' are made from sugar cookie dough.
