anyone love to decorate cakes

[Pelican49]

I've only done a couple cakes, but really enjoyed it.

At the moment I'm trying to work out what to do for my daughter's baby shower. The nursery will be in fairies, dragonflies and butterflies. So I'll be sticking with that theme. I have a few ideas, we'll see how it goes. I have a couple months to work it out. I'd like to try fondant. Anyone worked with that yet? I haven't.

This is the cake I did for my daughter's last baby shower (a boy).

My Grandson's 2nd b'day. He loved Elmo.

My Grandson's 3rd b'day. Didn't turn out as well as the one in my head. But he liked it. Hard to see. Edible green glitter for grass, chocolate railroad tracks, then Thomas the Train bath toys on top.

I would say that if you want to try with fondant buy the quality stuff from a cake shop not from a retail store, the bakery stuffis so much better (and taste better) it is easier to work with.... I also use gum paste to create items on the cakes (hippos, battle ships, etc)

I have a picture of this somewhere....I will have to find it and scan it....


I made a cake for my husabands b'day when we were dating....over 10 yrs. ago.. I made a regular 3 layer cake and iced it and then took real roses and rose buds of different colors and placed them all around the cake and then took wisteria and dangled it off the cake. It was so pretty!

I love the baby shower cake! That is creative.

Good job on your cakes folks

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the baby shower cake! I might be doing one here in a couple of weeks (still have to talk to the mother to be) and that looks FANTASTIC! I might ummm...borrow your design.

I used to have photos of the wedding cakes I did but mice got to my prints and my computer crashed so I lost those too. One wedding cake was 4 foot tall. THAT was NOT FUN to transport. Had to transport it in sections and assemble it at the reception. Again, not fun.

Here is one I did for my grandson's birthday. I've made about 5 like this so far for assorted boys over the years. LOTS of fun with these. The one I did for my son 20 years ago (OMG he is making me OLD) was twice this size and had a volcano with the sparkling candles coming out the top. It also had a "tar pit". I colored regular white sugar with brown color and sprinkled it on for "sand". I just wish I had the pics of the one I did for my son. It really was incredible.

Oh, and half the cake is chocolate, half yellow.
