Korea Travel Cake

This is a cake I made for a friend who was leaving South Africa to teach English in South Korea.

Rasta Cake

This is my Rasta cake.
This is the 1st time I have made a figure on a cake.

Kathak/Mendhi Cake

This cake was for a friend that is a professional kathak dancer...
I decided to make a silhouette of him from a photo of him doing a kathak pose...
He also does mendhi... so I decided to decorate the rest of the cake in a mendhi type pattern

Boob Cake

This is my 1st attempt at using fondant.
I think that I did an excellent job :D

so0oo0o0....
I've included the method I used to make my boob cake

1stly I hired a football cake mould from my local baking shop.
So basically, you're supposed to make the ball in 2 halves and then stick them together... all I did was keep them separate.






This is what it looked like after I took it out of pans.

I then made a yummy icing :P

I used margarine, icing sugar and cocoa



I covered the two cakes with thick layers of icing using a spatula.

Then I got my fondant ready.
Fondant is also called plastic icing and you can buy this at a baking shop or make your own using marshmellows. :)
Make sure that you are working on a clean surface, and also that it is dry and dusted with icing sugar.
Here you can see me breaking a small piece off, and I'm going to use this for the nipples.

I bought pink gel food colouring (which is kinda expensive, but you need to use gel to colour the fondant. You only need a little though, so i used a tooth pick to help me get just a little bit out of the bottle.



This is me making the nipples.
I eventually reduced the size.

I then coloured the rest of the fondant with ivory gel food colouring and then rolled it out with a rolling pin.









I missed out a couple photos...but I think that you can see what I did here.

I covered the cakes with the rolled out fondant, and added the nipples. I stuck down the nipples using left over icing and then I proceeded to decorate the cake using an piping bag.








This is the bra, I used red and black gel food colouring. However, the red turned out to be more orange. I tried to make the lace with a thinner nozzle.

I then wrote Happy B-day on the left breast.
The finished product is at the top of the post :)

Goofy Cake

This is my Goofy Cake!
Enough said.
:)

Smurf Village Cake

This is my smurf village cake!
whoop whoop!
so0o0o0o0o0......
I first saw the lil figures at my local baking shop so was eager to use them...
then a friend of mine asked me to make him a smurf bday cake!
n i was like...yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But when I went to actually buy the smurfs they were all grumpy :(
but no one seemed to care.
I wanted to use a grass tip for the grass... but it was kinda expensive... so i got over it.
Then I was gna make the grass out of coconut... but I don't really like coconut and i thought I would just make a mess out of it.
But i think the grass came out ok.
I made the mushroom houses from 2 cupcakes... the bridge is made out of kit-kat and the sign is white chocolate :) and the smurfs and flowers are fondant(I bought these).
O!!!!!
and the best part!
Its a vanilla cake which I coloured using blue food colouring :D
This was a nice surprise when the birthday boy cut it :)

Princess Jasmine Cake

This is a Princess Jasmine Cake. My friend loves Princess Jasmine and Disney, so i tried to find a cake mould of Princess Jasmine, but i couldn't. So i planned to just go with the whole Disney princess castle thing. When I got home, I googled images of the castle in Aladdin and decided to adapt the cake to look more like it. I then thought it would be a good idea to actually have Jasmine in the corner. I decided to use a chibi version as it is simpler and much cuter. 

How to Train your Dragon Cake

This was for a friend's 21st. He wanted a How to Train your Dragon Cake.... and since I hadn't watched the movie, I had to do a bit of research. This is Toothless, and a he isn't shaped like a normal dragon. I am quite proud of this cake, because I had to shape it myself and use my own design. Some people thought it was a cat... so I was kinda bummed at that...but the birthday boy was happy with it. The problem with baking a cake like this, is that there are a lot of left overs #nomnomnom.

On the left is the picture that I modeled the cake on. Hope that you can get a better idea of what I was going for :)

Powerpuff Girls Cake

This is my powerpuff girl cake i made for one of my dearest friends.
This was the most difficult to pipe because it took 9 colours, and I only had 2 piping bags.
I feel that the eyes weren't in proportion, but I don't know if anyone noticed.

BMW Cake

This is a BMW cake that i baked.
I think that it came out really good because the design was simple.
The grey was supposed to be silver, and the blue was supposed to be metallic blue, but it didn't come it like that. I was also gna make the edge look like a tire, but i was scared that it would ruin it.
This is one of my favourite cakes.

Mad Hatter Cake

This is my Mad Hatter cake for my Mad Hatter party for my 22nd birthday.
I really battled with icing this cake as i did it with a butter knife and kept on getting cake crumbs stuck in the icing. Since then, I have gotten a lot better. This cake is made out of 3 separate cakes piled on top of each other.
Nevertheless, it tasted awesome :)

Spongebob Novelty Cake

This is my 1st attempt at a novelty cake.
I made it for my boyfriend's 24th, and it took me several hours to do.
I was very proud of it.
I also had a plastic piping bag, which, i accidentally made a hole in with my finger...which made it even more difficult to pipe.
