Cakes I've Made

In the past few months I've had the opportunity to try my hands at making fondant covered cakes.

For Easter, I made an Easter Egg. On the inside was carrot cake with a cream cheese frosting molded into the shape of a half egg. I then cut various pastel colored fondants into shapes and patterns to resemble a decorated egg.

It's a little lopsided...It was one of my first attempts to make such a complicated shape...Here it is from the side...


For a birthday, I decided to make a computer programmer and fellow Mac person, a cake version of the Mac Logo.


I attempted to make a grey colored cake, but without wasting too much of the white fondant I had to make the black fondant lighter, I got this darkish grey instead. I was very pleased with the shape (I printed out a 6 inch version of the logo and used a 6 inch pan to get the right size).

On March 23, a baby named Luka was born. I may be biased...but he is probably the cutest baby ever! I made this cake to celebrate that day!


This was actually my first official fondant covered cake. I used a large yellow ribbon along the edges and a smaller blue ribbon to balance the size. I used various pastel colored circles (cut with different sized cuters) to decorate the cake. At the time of decoration, we were not sure if a girl or boy would be greeting us so I made it as gender neutral as possible.
