Chocolate Fondant Cake w/ Bow

I make this for my daughter's babysitter.  It's a rich chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream filling covered in chocolate fondant and finished off with a gum paste bow.

I made this cake to test out my new textured rolling pin.  The bottom tier is chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream filling and the top tier is a white cake with raspberry filling.  Both tiers are frosted with vanilla buttercream and covered in fondant.  The lilies are 1/2 gum paste & 1/2 fondant.

Teddy Bear Baby Shower Cake


This cake I did on the fly.  Saturday at 5pm my neighbor came over and needed a baby shower cake for Sunday.  This is what I came up with in such a short amount of time.  I finished at 10:30pm Satuday night.  It's a 2 layer sheet cake (1/2 chocolate & 1/2 white) filled and frosted with chocolate buttercream.  The bear is white cake with vanilla buttercream and a fondant diaper.

First Cookie Bouquet

These are sugar cookies, with rolled buttercream frosting
vanilla buttercream piping.  Next time I'll use a royal icing
for the piping.

I never used rolled buttercream frosting before.  I got the recipe from a Wilton forum.

Beach Ball Cake

The beach ball is a white cake with vanilla buttercream and the bottom is chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream.  This is a cake design I found on the Frosted Garden blogspot.

Chocolate Fondant Cake

First time working with chocolate fondant.  I used white fondant and used wilton's recipe for chocolate fondant to make it.  The cake is rich chocolate with chocolate buttercream and covered with the chocolate fondant.  The roses are white fondant colored blue and hand made; no cutters.
