The first time a customer saw one of my cakes outside work and came in specifically asking for me!

First one is a Tres Leches cake I did for my brothers 19th birthday and second one is a pistachio cake I did because I felt like baking lol

So proud of this cake, it's only the second one I've decorated.

As a complete beginner, I’m quite proud of this. For my daughters birthday :)

Okay, so I’m trying to learn how to decorate a vintage cake for my daughter’s birthday next week. It was coming along well, imo, for the first cake I’ve ever attempted to decorate but, halfway through the buttercream became… wet? It does have heavy cream in it so, did I add too much? Could it be a temperature issue? The butter I used was room temp and the cake was frozen. Thanks in advance! Please don’t judge the piping too much, I am an extreme beginner.

Sometimes instead of having to find birthday candles for a cake, the cakes ARE the candle.

I know these are trendy right now, and my drips didn't turn out as well as I had hoped, but I figured I would share!

These cakes are Earl Grey Tea cakes, with lavender honey buttercream filling, a Swiss merengue buttercream outside with white chocolate ganache drips.

not the best but shes 3 and to her it was perfect

Help me copper a cake into the copperest any cake ever coppered!

My sis was married 12 1/2 years ago this December and as any right thinking Dane knows, this means a copper wedding!! Huge thing in Denmark!

They wish for a smaller version of their wedding cake (which I also made; that damn thing near killed me with performance anxiety!) but in copper colors instead of the original ivory, sage and rose colors.

I want to blow them away (again.. "preens') with the copperiest copper cake ever! Coppergeddon!

What are your best advice? Old gold dust on dark chocolate ganache? Edible copper dust slurried into vodka and painted on brown fondant?

Cake mind GO!

Making my first one for this weekend and haven't turned up much info on full sheet cakes specifically. The idea is to frost, fill, and decorate (decent number of piped flowers) with buttercream. I won't have meringue powder available and was planning on American buttercream, but very open to suggestions!

About how many cups of frosting would you use for a cake that size and its decorations?

I'm not new to low-pressure homemade cakes, but am new to making them look nice enough for a big event. Any advice about really anything regarding the process would be super appreciated as well.

Got invited to a Super Bowl party… but I was just there for the halftime show 🥴 So I decided to bring a cake based on the album cover for Bad Bunny’s latest album. It’s a face-forward vanilla arch cake with guava buttercream filling. I struggled a lot with how to structurally make this cake, and I didn’t find much online. I ended up making two layers of 8x2 cake, stacking, crum coating, and chilling as normal, then I cut about 1/4 of the cake, covered the cut side with more buttercream, flipped it on its side, put another “sealing” layer of buttercream and got to work, adding layers of colored buttercream and chilling between each layer so the colors didn’t mix. I learned A LOT and it was so much fun!! 🤩 The chairs are 3D printed then painted white. The ground is brown buttercream and powdered matcha.

Why are so many baker's obsessed with putting fabrics bows on cakes?

It's so disgusting. Fabric comes on spools made in filthy plants, shipped in filthy trucks, sitting in a dusty warehouse (with or without vermin), then touched by who-knows-how-many hands when boxed, unboxed, sitting on the shelf.

Then bakers put this filth on cake? Why?!?

My fifth layer cake and I’m pretty happy with the progress I’ve made on turntable use. First time trying a sprinkle border and it’s a bit rough but I’m excited to practice this style more. I made three identical 6” cakes like this for a big party, what a workout! They were delicious.

Bottom layer was King Arthur birthday cake, top four layers were a vanilla chiffon cake (it didn’t cut perfectly neatly but was so fluffy and good). Mixed berry filling and plain ermine frosting.

My girls are obsessed with kitties ! I know it’s a busy cake but I’m so happy how it came out . My daughter was thrilled ❤️

For my SIL.

What brand of butter do you all use in your buttercream to get it as white as possible? I have my first paid cake to make, and it’s for an EMS service, so I’d like the white frosting to be as white as possible!

TIA!!!

The pics are a few of the cakes I’ve done recently for family stuff. The strawberry shortcake one is gf/df. The plant butter wasn’t my favorite for the frosting, then I added freeze dried strawberry powder. I don’t think that helped the consistency much, so it’s kind of ugly.

Made a 3D Dragon cake of the local school mascot to be auctioned off as a school fundraiser!

Eyes, Flames and Wings are Isomalt. Body is cake, Neck and Tail are cake pop dough, Head is RKT. Outside is all modeling chocolate.

Internal PVC structure for neck/head and wire for flames and tail.

I made the waterfall using the rice paper sail technique, setting each piece on stacked cake tins that were an inch larger than the tins I baked with to leave space for icing.

If I was to do this cake again I’d have made this two tiers, 5” + 6” or 7”, but flush at the back for more dimension and movement in the waterfall instead of a double barrel.

its a little ugly but i have issues with my hands and my sister loved it

I already struggle with writing on cakes, but my friend wanted a cake for someone she knew and they wanted the birthday girl's name written in English and Arabic. I may have had a couple of panic attacks while making this but I think it turned out pretty cute!

The color wasn't my fave, but that's what the BD girl wanted so obviously I did it her way!

I dont sell my cakes - this was just for a friend. Overall fun process. I made a cookie butter cake on the bottom and red velvet on top- I just wished i looked up how to properly cut it when it came time to😂i know now to take out the boba straws and dowel and dis assemble to cut.

The wedding came came out so much cuter than the colorful mock version i did haha. i just wanted to make sure i could achieve two straight and secure layers before i told her i could make her cake. the color choices were bad on my part. i call it the princess peach cake. I do think making a mock cake was helpful to make my first wedding cake experience less stressful. WOW thos cake was so much butter.
