Victorian Lady

I made this doll a couple of years ago and i finally had a good reason to make her a cake. This dummy was created just for her so i could take her to Scandinavian Cakeshow.

Colours: Americolor´s Warm chocolate, Avocado, Ivory, super red and Edible Art Lemon Gold diluted in clear alcohol.

Wedding cake for my cousin

Today my cousin is getting married and i got to make the cake!

It has behaved so very well - everything went on as pearls on a string,

ain´t that nice for a change! ;-)

Blackberries

For DH´s birthday.

 A layer-cake with raspberry mousse and vanilla-creme

topped with melted Toblerone and whipped creme.

 

 The band around the cake is regular marzipan.

White Tiger

This one should´ve entered a competition today, but is most likely to end in the garbage can. On a distance it may look ok, but up close it has LOTS of flaws, sediments, tiny airbubbles en masse, and it turbo-sweats! On top of that, the paint slides off leaving my sharp stribes muddy, and it just won´t dry up!
Fortunately this was one of my own projects, it would´ve killed me if it should´ve been for an occasion of any kind.
It´s a white cake with white chocolate ganace and chopped Marabou chocolate with candy-glazed sea-salt almonds.
I´ll go scrape off and toss the poor quality-fondant and then i think i´ll crumble up the whole thing and make truffles or something.

Update: Now THIS is more like it!! :)

Super Bowl

Imagine how this mess turns into a cool Saints cake in "just a few" hours!

At this point, it´s just a chocolate cake in a funny shape...

Now its a chocolate cake, ready for the fun part! -Covering the fleur de lis in sugarpaste.
-Hm, how to smooth the sides...?!

I rolled out a long, wide band of sugarpaste and secured it around the side of the cake. Using a thin rolling-pin, i rolled my way around, smoothing the sides nicely.

Cutting the centre Super Bowl logo was quite a challenge!

The top is made of cut out pieces of sugarpaste, inlays-technique. Also a challenge as i (again) baked too big a cake - The board is 40cm!

I loved every single part of this project, thanks to my cousin´s husband for keeping me on my toes! -And for drawing such a great sketch to work from :-)
