More April Cakes (major update con't)

Bridal Shower Cupcake tower and Bridal Dress Cake

I made this for my friend's bridal shower! I really wanted something artsy and really beautiful, so i made sugar flowers and leaves and painted them to match her wedding colours, and tinted the frosting with a bit of pink ;)

Bridal Dress: This took hours and hours to do - The cake is 3 layers of 6 inch cake covered with fondant.. I hand painted the dress with petal dust for a satin look. I made ribbon roses for accents, sprinkles for beading, and sugar pearls were glued with edible glue.

Garden Cake

The client really wanted to give her mom something special and personalized for her birthday... she decided on a gardening theme since it`s one of her mother`s favourite hobbies! We incorporated gardening gloves, a clay pot with a rose, some chocolate cake crumbled up for "dirt", a seed packet, some sunflowers, and even an orange tabby! This cake took about 10 hours to complete.

Side View of seed packet, we named the species of rose after the client's mother's grandson.

TTC rocket subway cake topper

This was commissoned by the toronto transit commission for a retirement party. It was made of rice cereal covered in two layers of fondant and painted in silver petal dust and vodka. This probably took about 5 hours to complete... Each window and door was hand cut out of black fondant and hand painted with white petal dust and vodka. The ttc logo was hand drawn, although i think next time i might trace an actual logo for more accuracy.

Baby boy baptism cake and cookie favours.

This cake was a challenge for me, not because of the complexity of the decor, but the type of cake requested. This was my first time using carrot cake in a tiered cake and i had lots of problems with the structure holding up.. If anyone has a recipe for carrot cake that can hold it's shape under the weight of fondant, please share!! Until then, carrot is off the menu for stacked cakes!!
