    Harvest Cake and Turkey Cupcakes

    Round white cake with pumpkin deco and cupcakes decorated in turkey design

    Done for Thanksgiving dinner, this was a harvest-themed cake with cornstalks and pumpkins on the sides, with a fruit and veggie cluster on top. The turkeys were cupcakes with a little trimmed off one side, and turned sideways. Then decorated with red, orange, and yellow feathers.

    Mother's Day - Precious Moments Cake

    by Amber Tillmon
    (Georgia, United States)

    3d Precious Moments Cake

    My step mom loves precious moments so I figured a Precious Moments cake would be perfect for her. The entire cake is covered in marshmallow fondant, which tastes a lot better than regular fondant. The best tip I can give is to practice.

    Christmas Wreath Cake

    by Julie M
    (Rochester, NY, USA)

    Round white cake with green and red poinsettia wreath design on top

    This cake was made for a Christmas celebration. It was a simple design, just iced in white buttercream and piped with a medium size beaded border. The wreath on top gave it visual dimension and striking eye appeal, along with the sugar poinsettias. I made the leaves and flowers out of royal icing. It took a little while to get them all positioned on the cake, but it was worth the time!

    Happy New Year Cake

    by Kimberly Rivera
    (Florida, United States)

    Black round cake with gold and silver stars decoration

    I used two 8" round pans for this cake and cut into 2 round shapes. Then I used white fondant, covered the cake, then painting. I cut out the shapes & painted with clear vanilla/food coloring. I also used Wilton gold sparkle gel & whipped cream for accents. It was a big hit at our party!

    Easter Egg Cake

    by Sarah
    (Kuala Lumpur)

    An oval cake in the shape of an egg.

    This is one of my best holiday cakes and I just want to share my joy with everyone.

    I wanted to make an egg shaped cake for Easter.

    No special novelty pans are used. I just baked a sheet cake and cut out an egg shape out of it. The whole cake is covered in fondant ( I used ready made fondant which I bought from my local baking shop) and the deco on the cake is in royal icing. I am not a fan of bright colors so all the icing on the cake is of light pastel colors. The cake turned out very pretty and elegant. I received lots of compliments for both the cake decorating idea and the taste.

    Turkey Thanksgiving Cake

    by Christine Alves
    (CA, United States)

    Cake in the shape of a roasted turkey

    I made this cake for a group of Moms that I get together with at a Church I live nearby. We all bring treats for each other and I thought since it was almost Thanksgiving I would make a cake that looked like a Baked Turkey.

    I had to shape the cake into a roundish form and the legs are made out of Rice Krispy Treats. Entire cake covered in Fondant and painted with vodka and brown color gel.

    Harvest Cake

    by Orobosa Egbe
    (Edo, Nigeria)

    A basket cake with green and yellow deco

    The base cake is 9x15 inch cake covered with fondant icing. I used the impression mat to create leaf vine impressions on the fondant. For the basket, I used the calabash pan and decorated it like a basket with royal icing using the basket tip, then I arranged sugar paste fruits on it.

    For the handle, I twisted fondant and for the floral arrangement beside the basket, I made a twisted base and arranged sugar flowers in it.

    Easter Basket Cake

    by Julie M
    (Rochester, NY, USA)

    Easter egg cookies in a basket shaped cake

    This is a centerpiece cake I did for Easter. It's a two layer carrot cake iced and decorated in a basket weave pattern with cream cheese icing. The fun part about this cake is the pastel color cutout Easter egg cookies propped up on top! The basket handle is wire covered with satin ribbon and tied with a bow. To finish it off I piped green Easter "grass" around the Easter egg cookies.

    Father's Day Cap Cake

    by Jane Tan
    (Singapore)

    A cake shaped like a cap

    Here is a cake I made for Father's Day recently. My kids wanted me to make a cake for their father on Father's day so I made this cake for them to present it to their father.

    He has a large collection of caps at home so I made this cap cake. It's made using a half ball mold. The front of the cap was cut out from fondant. The whole cake is also covered with fondant, and the tiny stitch marks and writing were done with royal icing.

    Brown round cake with basket weave sides and decorated in red, yellow, orange and blue flowers

    I designed this cake for a fall Thanksgiving celebration. It had chocolate buttercream basket weave on the sides and edible sugar and icing flowers all around the top edge of the "basket".

    Halloween Pumpkin Cake

    by Linda B.
    (Texas, United States)

    Rectangle cake with orange pumpkin design

    My son wanted me to make him a pumpkin shaped cake for last year Halloween. I was too busy with work, so I came up with this idea instead. I know my two boys will be fighting over the pumpkin icing, so I made 2 pumpkin designs on the cake.

    Here is how I decorated the cake:

    I am not very good at making designs on cakes so I drew the pumpkin on a grease proof paper first. I cut out the pumpkins, placed them on the cake and marked the design on the cake with a pin.

    And the rest of the deco was easy. I followed my markings earlier with black icing. I then used orange icing to fill up the whole pumpkin. The background and sides of the cake is in royal icing. I wanted a really white background for the pumpkins so royal icing is the best. My kids loved the Halloween pumpkin cake.

    Thanksgiving Centerpiece Cake

    by Julie M
    (Rochester, NY, USA)

    A rectangle cake with cornelli lace icing and flowers in fall colors

    This is one of my favorite cakes. It was made using my long loaf pan, with pumpkin spice cake. It was iced in cream cheese icing, and decorated with buttercream cornelli lace and beaded border. I used 3 little taper candles inserted in the center of the cake, as it was to be used as the Thanksgiving centerpiece on the table! There were royal icing mum flowers in red-brown, yellow, and orange to decorate around the candles and the corners of the cake.

    Easter Bunny Cupcakes

    by Julie M
    (Rochester, NY, USA)

    Cupcakes with white bunny deco

    These cupcakes were adorable and delicious! I baked carrot cake cupcakes, and iced them with cream cheese frosting. The bunny head is a cut-out cookie, and his icing arms are full of candy corn carrots with green icing "leaves". They were a big hit for Easter!

    Valentine Bears Cake

    by Julie M
    (Rochester, NY, USA)

    3 mini bears cakes on a red heart shaped board.

    I did these individual size bear cakes for Valentine's Day. They were iced in chocolate fudge buttercream, with my grass or star tip, to look like fur. Then I added the facial features with black, red, and beige. I placed a cut out cookie heart on the tummy and piped more "fur" to look like the bear's hands were holding the cookie. They tasted SO good!

    Jack O Lantern Cakes

    by Julie M
    (Rochester, NY, USA)

    Sphere shaped cakes decorated to look like pumpkins with facial features

    These were individual size jack o lantern cakes I did for Halloween. I used my small ball pan to make the basic pumpkin shape, and then I used extra orange icing to build up the shape. I piped orange stars and lines to give the pumpkin look, and added the funny faces for the kids! They also have a brown woody stem and green leaves at the top.

    3 tier cake in pink and white, decorated with pink blocks and baby themed deco

    I decided to blend 3 different styles, brought together in one theme. There were 2 chocolate layers and one vanilla, covered in sugar paste. I made the elephant topper a couple of weeks ahead, and made it detachable to have as a keepsake.

    Father's Day Cake

    by Lucy Hudson
    (United States)

    A square white cake with heart deco and a human figurine topper

    Using the basic butter pound cake recipe, I then covered the cake with ready to roll white fondant. I then used food colouring to paint on the cake. The man is fondant.

    This is only my 4th attempt at a cake.
