More Old Cakes April 28, 2008

I found some more pictures of cakes I made previously.  I am still missing pictures of about 30 cakes, but as I find them I’ll post them.

Baby sleeping, shower cake.  This is a design I did freehand for a shower in 2006.  It is buttercream.

Cow Jumping Over the Moon.  Buttercream baby shower cake from 2007.  I based this on the Hi Diddle Diddle cake in the 1984 Wilton Yearbook.

Care Bear Cake.  I made this for a 1st birthday in 2007.  I normally use boxed mixes, but this cake was a dense oatmeal cake, almost like a bread.  It was tasty!  It is decorated as usual in buttercream.  The pan was a Care Bear 3D pan from the early 80’s.

This is a fondant baby shower cake I did in the fall of 2007.  At the time I was working VERY part time at a bakery, it is my first fondant cake.  I used cookie cutters to make the circle shapes, and molds to make the charms at the base of the cake.  The bow was made using loops of fondant.  At the base is a buttercream rope border colored to match the fondant.

Here are some of my old cakes.  Unfortunately I lost many of the pictures of cakes I did for co-worker’s birthdays.  I also seem to have lost the Care Bear cake I did for a 1st birthday.

Birthday cake for a two year old.  The pan was a Wilton foil pan circa the 1980s.  I used butter cream for the body and hat.  I used chocolate canned icing for the cookie and the mouth.  The eyes were a part of the kit.

Large cookie decorated with icing.  Based on the logo which can be seen on the hat in the background.

White buttercream icing.  Top of shower cake, sides also had squiggles.

Large buttercream with green and blue accents.

1st wedding cake.  Bottom layer had monogram.  Real roses, single column construction.
