Congrats Star Cake

Congrats cake for a doctor making partner. I'm still not 100% sure what that means, but I know it deserves a cake!


Red velvet with cream cheese icing, fondant stars, royal icing stars, piping and letters. Oh, and I forgot to post in facebook, frosting is colored with my new handy airbrush!

DONUT Cake!!!

I'm trying to pretend like I'm biting it, but I didn't want to get too close and un-sanitize it!

This was my first airbrush cake, fun!! I love my airbrush, it makes coloring a lot quicker and gives added depth. The donut came out darker than I had wanted. It almost looks like a bundt cake. I could have used some white airbrush paint, if it exists, because my kit didn't have it.


This cake was for Mr. Guthrie's 95th birthday. He supposedly owns or sells a lot of the Krispy Kreme franchises. Cake was yellow cake with swiss meringue icing covered in marshmallow vanilla fondant. I airbrushed and then glazed the top with runny royal icing and piping gel. The logo was royal icing and totally broke, so I had to do a quick vinyl logo on top of the cake box, and it turned out fine.


Somebody wants a happy wife! Martina's flowers totally woke me up this morning, but it was worth it. Thank you, Gab! I love you!

Painter's Palette Cake

This is a painter's palette I did for the birthday of a grandmother I assume must be an artist. It was my first chance to try a wood grain effect on the fondant which was done by marbleizing brown and white fondant and then painting over with brown gel color. My brown paint was a little too dark and covered up most of the marbled fondant so next time I'll try to lighten that up a bit.


The paint globs are royal icing painted on top with piping gel and color. The paint brush is chocolate candy clay, yum! I'm trying to bring that out more because it seems to be yummier than fondant.
