Submarine Cupcakes for a commissioned Navy officer:
This was fun, using fondant to make submarines. I tried to make the icing look wavy water. I am not sure if it came across correctly, but I tried. They were still fun to make and, apparently, still delicious to eat.
Baby Shower Cake
I made this cake for the baby shower that I helped organize for the mom’s group I belong to. Again, delicious. The filling was cookies and cream and it was half yellow/half chocolate cake.
Please note that the bunny, bear, and baby chocolate designs were not part of my artistry. I used a template from the Whimsical Bakehouse book. However, I did make umbrellas, diaper pins, and dots with my own hand. Those were fun.
Rose-Hulman Cake
Andy asked me to make an RH cake for a barbeque that we were attending. These were guys that are buddies he made in college. A rather appropriate cake if you ask me. I made a cookies and cream filling with this one, too. (Can you tell I really, really like the cookies and cream filling??)
Note: The black fondant and I were on speaking terms. The red fondant and I, apparently, have yet to be good friends. White fondant and I are doing well.
Oh, and there was a cut in the cake because I wanted to eat cake and then realized I hadn’t yet photographed it. Whoops. You still get the idea.
You can find more cake photos of these three cakes on my flickr, too.
