Bachelor's Cake (PG)

 
  It's my second time making this kind of cake but a first to make it a full female torso.  I have confirmed again how much I enjoyed making this kind of cake design.  I made it real simple this time because I didn't have much time getting more decors done as I only knew about making this cake a few days before the event.
 
I dusted the nipples with the combination of pink, peach and brown color dust.
Anyway, I made this for a friend's bachelor's dinner party. It's not really a bachelor's event as the whole gang, wives and children, were there. We got together to wish our friend goodluck and congratulations on his new journey ahead.
 
I made the necklace using melted white chocolate then dusted with gold highlighter dust.

Cake was mocha cake with mocha swiss meringue buttercream. Covered and decorated in marshmallow fondant.  
 
A side story about this cake... I finished it around 1 am the night before the event and around 6 am the next morning my husband woke me up and said "The mocha drink spilled on the cake". What a way to wake somebody up! So without another second to waste I rushed down and opened the fridge and saw the cake to my horror.... "WTH!!" I was so mad I couldn't even say a single word.  Good thing the dinner was not until the evening so I was able to just wipe off the liquid, let it dry and rubbed it to smooth it out again. Whew!

Lot of Ribbon Roses


 Made this simple cake for my frequent flyer sister. She also celebrated her birthday earlier this month that's why the cake. She can't complain anymore that I didn't make her cake. :D

 Chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream covered and decorated with marshmallow fondant.  I also tried out the new textured rolling pin my hubby got me for my birthday.

Pumpkin Cake Pop


 Made some pumpkin cake pops as requested by a coworker. They are going to give this away to their son's teachers.




 
Cake pop flavor was chocolate with chocolate ganache.  Covered in vanilla chocolate melts.  I didn't find a colored orange candy melts so I just got some white vanilla ones and added orange food gel color.  I also added about a few brown milk chocolate to tone the orange color down and mimic the pumpkin color more.






Decorated with fondant leaves and stem. I also brushed a little brown food color to give it a little depth as would a real pumpkin crease.

Colorful Cake


Yey! Finally after several weeks of not making any cake I've finally done one this week! A colorful cake for a friend on his special day.   I did this cake to match his colorful personality.  Simple yet fun.


Cake was white almond sour cream cake with vanilla buttercream icing. Covered and decorated with marshmallow fondant.  I used wires to hold the fondant balls and put some edible pearls on the letters.
