Cinderella Cake

 This is dedicated to one of my fans on YouTube. He had requested a Cinderella themed cake so many times that I decided to make one to come out on his birthday. Happy Birthday, Byron.

However, since I can't actually deliver this cake, I'm decorating a cake dummy. Two to be exact. This is an 8-inch and a 6-inch cake dummy frosted with vegan American buttercream.

Then I took some white fondant and added some tylo powder to it to make it stiffer.
Then I pressed it firmly into this shoe mold.
I also colored a good amount of fondant light blue.
I covered both tiers with the light blue fondant.

Then I stacked them together.
I mixed the left over light blue fondant with more white fondant to make a pale blue and made a lot of these swags. I made them by rolling a strip of fondant, cutting it straight and folded the edges under.
I placed one swag between the two tiers.
And I cut smaller, curved swags.
And stuck them onto the bottom tier with edible glue. I also placed a similar swag at the base of the bottom tier.
Then I made a bunch of these faux piping shells.
I made them with white fondant using this press mold.
I placed these shells at intervals around the swags. I just felt like these added a bit more decoration that was appropriate for the times.
I added some silver dragees to the contact point between the curved swags.
I removed the shoe from the mold and trimmed the unfinished edges.
Then I painted the shoe with edible glue and painted pearl luster dust onto the shoe with a dry paintbrush.
Finally, I placed some sliver dragees around the top tier. And dusted silver luster dust all over the blue part of the cake. If you watch the original film, Cinderella's dress isn't blue, it's silver. It only became blue in modern times so she wouldn't look shabby next to Belle and Princess Aurora. So, this is a nod to that original dress.
But, I am super happy with this cake.
You can immediately see what it's supposed to be.
And it's just as lovely and magical as the original Cinderella film.
Happy Birthday, Byron. Thank you for the suggestion.

Dress up a Sheet Cake: White on White Wedding Cake

Image
I've been thinking about all the things that have been cancelled because of Covid19 and I think the saddest is the weddings. So much expense, planning, excitement... gone. Now, I know most of you who had to reschedule your wedding will eventually have them. But I don't know how much money you would have lost because of the cancellation of your first planned wedding. So, I thought some of you might need to save money on your future wedding. So, I thought I would share with you a way you could make your own wedding cake out of a regular, plain sheet cake. I started out with a frosted sheet cake. You can frost it yourself or buy it frosted.  Then I thought I would use all of these tips, but I only ended up using the small round tip and the medium star tip. The petal tip and leaf tip weren't needed for this design.  Using a skewer, I traced two interlocking hearts as well as the monograms of the couple. In this case, T and C.  Then I traced over the letters with th

Dairy-Free Swiss Meringue Buttercream

Image
After going through the effort of making my vanilla cake gluten free, dairy free and soy free, I needed a dairy free frosting. American buttercream is easy to make dairy free. But the family I'm making the cake for prefers Swiss meringue buttercream. I googled how to make dairy free Swiss meringue buttercream, and basically every blog I found said that it wasn't possible. They all said you have to use butter. I am not willing to accept that answer. So, I decided to experiment a bit until I found a ratio that works. So, first off, here's the recipe: Dairy-free Swiss Meringue Buttercream: 7 egg whites 2 cups sugar 1 1/2 cups dairy-free margarine 1/2 cup shortening pinch of salt 1 tsp vanilla extract or 1 tbsp vanilla sugar 1 tsp butter vanilla flavoring (optional, if omitting, double amount of vanilla flavoring)  I'm using a stand mixer today with a whisk attachment.  I first whisk the egg whites, sugar and vanilla sugar, if using vanilla sugar. Then I h

Tutorial: How to Make a 2D Simba Cake Topper

Image
 I tried to make this character 3D. I really did. But it was so terrible I just couldn't bring myself to use it.  I eventually decided to try making a 2D figure. Then I could use a template. So first, here's the image I used: First, I cut out a yellow circle to use as a background. Then I added some brown to yellow fondant and rolled it out. I cut around the template and cut out the paws. Then I added the paws cut out of white fondant. Then I used a pointed scuplting tool to press the lines of the template into the fondant. Then, removing the template, I deepened the lines to make them more visible. I added a white muzzle and a pink nose. I painted some brown food coloring mixed with alcohol into the shadows of the face and ears. Finally, I added some undiluted black food coloring to the ears, eyebrows and eyes. How adorable is this? And so clearly Simba. This is a great method for those who can't accurately draw the characters themselves. In other words, perfect for me. Wa
