Chinese Take Out Cake
by Brittany Scholler
(Estero FL)
My favorite food is Chinese food and I love cake decorating so I decided to combine the two things that I love the most and make a Chinese take-out cake. This cake was so much fun to experiment with and make realistic looking.

Pie Cupcakes
by Julie M
(Rochester, NY, USA)
I did these for Thanksgiving, for the kids. I thought they'd like them better than real pie! They are vanilla cupcakes with a thick layer of buttercream icing, and a border around the top. Then, real cherry pie filling is carefully placed on top, and then iced in a lattice pattern and ruffle to look like little pies! They tasted SO good.

Chocolate Cake Box with Cup and Saucer
by Angie Mizon
(United Kingdom)
Cake itself I made by making an 8 inch sponge in two pans and layering them. I used another for the top. I covered the cake sides with colored sugar paste, and made 'tissue paper' folds out of sugar paste. Lid was covered in sugar paste and I added a rose which I made.
For the cup and saucer I molded the cup around a dish in sugar paste and the saucer the same way and left to dry for 4 to 5 days. I made a handle and when dry stuck it onto the cup, then painted it with edible food color - the details of how to make the cup and saucer I found on the web.
I made a card out of sugar flower paste, added small flowers, and wrote the name in an icing pen.

Rum Cake
by Teresa Falo
(FL, United States)
Used a yellow cake mix, added ¼ cup rum. When it was done i pricked it with a fork and poured a mix I made earlier of 1 cup of sugar, ¾ of water and ⅓ of rum. When it got somewhat thick removed it from stove, let it cool, then you pour it on top of cake to make it very moist.
After this is done let your cake cool off completely (2 hours,) then you can decorate with buttercream, as I did. I used 2 layers and for the filling used apricot preserve, it tasted great; then attached the ribbon.

This Bud's For You Cake
by Cris Elizondo
(Tx, United States)
This cake was a 11x15". I cut it in half, filled it, and stacked it.
The "wood" is fondant that I cut in advance. I airbrushed it brown and hand painted with food coloring to show some "wood grain".
The bottles and the ice are made of sugar. This cake is 100% edible.

Chocolate Strawberry Fudge Cake
by Julie M
(Rochester, NY, USA)
I did this 3 tiered cake for a school fundraiser where they were going to auction off desserts. Each round tier was dark chocolate cake iced in chocolate buttercream. The tops were completely covered in fresh strawberries and fudge icing was dripping down the sides. There were chocolate swirls accenting each tier for added interest. I heard later it was a big hit at the event!

Black Forest Cake Surprise!!
by Roopali
(India)
This was a cake for my daughter Yahvi. I had planned for a Black forest cake, but unfortunately couldn't get fresh cream in the market.
As I had already made up my mind for this flavor, I made it with white Vanilla buttercream icing......and here it is!! Can anyone make out if it is fresh cream or buttercream??
Tip: You can replace fresh cream with buttercream and still get a perfect Black forest cake!!

Cheeseburger Bliss Cake
by Erin
(Fairfield, IL)
This is an all edible cake! The hamburger and bun are 6" round vanilla cakes covered in fondant icing. The onions, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, cheese, and french fries are also made of fondant.
The ketchup and mustard are made of buttercream icing with extra water to achieve the consistency of these condiments. The red and white checkered cloth accent was chosen to make a realistic picnic seen. Extra detail went into this loaded burger for added realism. This cake was made as a present for my father's birthday! He loves cheeseburgers and fries so why not give him a sweet tasting burger. This is a birthday cake my father will never forget!
