Rainbow Star Cake

This rainbow cake was made for a cake competition and won three out of the four categories; Best Taste, Best in Show, & Most Creative. There are six layers of cake inside: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple.  They are thinner layers, about a third the size of a regular cake layer.  The cake…

Tractor Cupcakes

The design for these began when someone asked for a tractor cupcake cake. She wanted a red tractor, resembling an International tractor. I thought about it and thought individual cupcakes with tractors would be fun. So I came up with these designs. First, I did some research and drew up two different templates. I then…

Painted Turtle Cake

This cake was made for a friend who loves turtles and bright colors. I had previously made the Spring Frog Cake for her and I wanted to continue that theme. To make this cake a little different I decided to use a square shape. I used yellow cake and put a strawberry filling between layers….

Faerie and Mermaid Cake

Here is a cake that was a lot of fun to do. This idea all started out in the imagination of my eight year old niece. She wanted a faerie and a mermaid on her cake. I wanted to do a two tier cake and decorate each according to the mythical creature that would be…

Haunted House Cake

This was a really fun cake to make! I started out with a large sheet cake and sculpted out a house shape. I used pieces I cut off to add part of the roof. After frosting it in buttercream I rolled out some orange fondant and arranged it over the top of the cake. I…

Mario Block Cake

This is one of my latest fondant cakes. I made this as a birthday cake for a couple of my family members who really enjoy playing Mario. I piled together yellow cake and made sure it was a perfect cube, then the whole cake was covered in gold fondant. Next, I cut a piece of…

Topsy Turvy Cake

Another fondant cake. This time I was experimenting with the ‘mad hatter’ style. The layers are cut diagonally and stacked together to achieve an unbalanced look. I put a filling in the cake. This probably wasn’t the best idea as the layers wanted to slide. It was a very interesting experience trying to get the…

Castle Cake

I learned a great deal from making this cake. I had some triumphs and some disasters. After I finished this cake, I was disappointed with it. However, other people who saw it thought it was great. I think because I worked so long and hard on it and wasn’t able to present the initial idea…

Cardinal Hat Cake

Cardinal Hat Cake Originally uploaded by sweet_tease_blog This is the second fondant cake I made and made on request for my future mother-in-law for her mother’s 80th birthday. I’m not sure I remember exactly why I made the cake into a hat, I think I just thought it was a neat idea I wanted to…

Spring Frog Cake

This is my first fondant cake. I didn’t know much about fondant before I experimented with it for this cake. I was always interested in working with fondant, and after watching a few cake decoration competitions on Food Network I really had the urge to play around with it. I bought ready-made fondant at a…
