Fish & Chips!

I attended the White Rose Cake Show and the PA ICES Day of Sharing this past weekend and was fortunate enough to take 2 classes with Janet Brown.  Janet specializes in 3D sculpted cakes that are airbrushed to look realistic.

My first class was a sculpted big mouth bass from chocolate cake covered in buttercream with fondant fins.  Not completely finished--that stare is a little....blank.....and he needs a few garnishes on the platter.....

My second cake was a bag of potato chips--again, chocolate cake covered in buttercream with a fondant "bag".  The chips are textured fondant.  This one, too, needs a few details to be completed--a few more chips and a label should do it.

These are just sooo much fun to do.  I'm getting the hang of the airbrush.......maybe the car could use a few flames on the fenders..........hmmmm.......

Shower of Flowers

This cake was made to match a bridal shower invitation--pale violet background with a stylized bride tossing her bouquet.  All of the decorations were hand cut.

The cake was yellow with strawberry cream cheese mousse filling and vanilla buttercream covered in vanilla flavored fondant.  It would serve 40 easily.
