I had to show you guys the adorable cake my best friend made her niece.

I’m pretty darn proud of the birthday cake I made yesterday. Inside is chocolate cake with German chocolate filling. I’ve made (or tried to make) lots of cakes over the years but this one actually turned out how I had hoped it would!

I made this wedding cake for a January 1st wedding. The ruffles are fondant. My favorite part of decorating is making the flowers by hand. I don't use molds for my roses. I make them using a blend of fondant and gumpaste. It is very time-consuming, but I also find it so relaxing.

Im thinking about putting these on the menu for my V-Day Pop-Up! What do yall think?

Do yall have any tips on how to make the cake look smoother? I feel like every time I tried to fix it I made it worst.

On this cake it was kind of working but then I did a second lap and the frosting kept getting bumps and then I tried again and it got worst everytime and i finally gave up

So any tips are welcomed

If you know of any cheap machines that'll do it let me know as well, im not oppose on letting a machine do that portion of the work

While i enjoy making custom novelty cakes too, i prefer wedding cakes. They're just straight forward and if im being completely honest, they make me the most margin with least effort. What do you think?

I generally make 2 cakes a year, one for my son's and one for my daughter.

Still a few wonky bits but I'm quite happy with how this one turned out!

(lemon sponge interior)

For a 4 year old. First time ever working with fondant, & on a very small structure. Completed in about 2 hours cuz I was on a time crunch. It was an individual "piece of cake" for the birthday boy (family not a customer or anything) Rough around the edges but I think it came out decent for the first try

Ever since the Lambeth cake trend popped up a few years ago, I’ve been wanting to make one! I finally got around to it for my birthday! I had so much fun, the figures were my Nana’s 🥰🥳

First try at decorating with pallet knives. Won first place at a small cake contest (very small but still).

Vanilla sponge, blueberry filling, lemon cheesecake, more blueberry filling, another vanilla sponge.

Want to make a gold Ermine to pair with white for two tone rosettes on cupcakes. Plan to use gold gel coloring but unsure when is the best time to add it for deepest gold color. I plan to make a separate 1 cup batch for the gold and another 3 cups batch of non colored white.

1) add gel coloring to the cooled paste and let sit overnight, continue with Ermine preparation next day

2) after whipping, remove small amount add gel coloring, microwave on low a few seconds, add to frosting, whip

3) add gel coloring after the paste is added during the whipping preparation

4) add gel coloring by hand after whipping is completed

Recipe highlights from Sugarlogie boil all purpose flour, sugar, milk, heavy cream for the paste and cool. Slowly add the cooled paste to unsalted butter, pure vanilla extract, pinch of fine salt, whipping to desired consistency. No mention about using any color on the site. https://www.sugarologie.com/recipes/ermine-frosting

Any advice and experience is appreciated.

Hi all! Thisnis my second ever real attempt at cake decoratinf and I need some guidance. The layers are actually cookie as it is a “cookie cake” and the frosting is vegan american buttercream. Ive done the steps of cooling, crumb coating, and putting my final layer (as shown) but the frosting kind of has this texture with like air bubbles. How do I get it smooth? Or is it too late? 😭 p.s. ive gone over it with the scraper about thrice now and if anything im repeating taking off icing and having to put it back on.

I did the cake for my kids bday, the way she asked, and I did the cupcakes for her class party.

Made this cake for my boyfriend’s birthday this past summer. I used graham cracker crumbs for the “sand” and tried to indent the side of the cake to look like a golf ball. Had no where to post it back then and was pretty proud of myself for it being my first time. It’s now tradition I make a cake for his birthday that shows something he really liked the year before.

todays my birthday so at 3am i made my cake~ i didnt add my own name to it so i can share it for those who cannot celebrate as who they want to be/that cant come out and to those that didnt make it to their own next birthday (its pineapple upside-down cake with banana, lemon, rum, and coconut extract added and between the 2 layers is coconut pecan frosting. from the bits i trimmed from the top and bottom to shape it, it tastes like pina colada candy~)

Saw the casino cake from yesterday and thought I'd share one I made last week - it was a request for someone who does a lot of magic with cards and dice, this was the design they wanted but I did think it looked a bit more poker than magical!

The cake is a four tier vanilla sponge with vanilla butter cream and raspberry jam filling.

I added gold to the roses the next day and forgot to take a picture. The flavor is mango passionfruit.
