Cardinal Christmas Cake

Image
Inspiration comes from many things, candles, books, cake magazines, Christmas ornaments, etc.  The Cake Central magazine is always good for ideas, styles, and themes from amazingly talented cakers.  This one was inspired by several Christmas themed cakes in this month's issue, hopefully I will have occasion to make a few more.
 This is a white chocolate cake with alternating swiss meringue butter cream and dark chocolate ganache fillings.  The cake is covered with fondant, airbrushed, then the hills layered on one by one and airbrushed again after each.

This cake was done in dedication to my Aunt Diane who lost the fight with cancer last year.  She was an amazing woman, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, author of childrens books, storyteller, self appointed educator of condoms at each family reunion.  The cake show was put on by the Knox County Public Library so I thought it fitting to incorporate this.
The chair is mostly made from modeling chocolate and covered with Fondant and royal icing.  The middle tier is representing the library, with brick, a bronze bust, library tables, and a dedication plaque to my Aunt.  The books around the bottom tier are all fondant, with hand painted titles (this took 5 nights to complete)  The books are all the children's stories she published, and the one she is reading to the children is "Laney's Lost Momma".  The tile floor on the top tier and base are fondant, scored with a ruler, airbrushed to look like stone, and then grouted with royal icing.  The children and storyteller are a…

Turkey Lurky

By request I made this roasted little turkey.  Almond poppyseed cake with rasberry/cranberry filling. The kale, cranberries, and orange slices on the tray are real, but the turkey, wings, and stuffing are all cake.  The stuffing is cubed pieces of cake toasted in the oven, the rest of the cake was carved up, covered in fondant with a little added texturing, and then airbrushed.

I've been working on molding faces from modeling chocolate using a sculpting how-to book. They're starting to get cheekbones, chins, etc.

Here is our daughter's 3rd birthday cake. She wanted Beauty and the Beast princess cake. So here is Mrs. Potts, Chip, Lumiere, Cogs worth and Belle.

Under the skirt is chocolate cake with an Oreo butter cream filling. The cake underneath is chocolate cake with a peanut butter mousse filling.












The characters were hand molded and painted from fondant
