Tinkerbell Cake

 This cake is just one I wanted to make. It just makes my heart happy.

I started by getting this image of Tinkerbell.

I created a background in pink fondant and cut it into a circle. I placed it on a piece of wood to make it more stable.
Then I rolled out some flesh-colored fondant and cut around my template.
I pressed the lines of the image into it.
And cut out only the pieces that were skin-colored.
Then I did the same thing with yellow fondant for the hair.
And placed it on the head.
Then I did the same thing with green fondant for the dress and shoes.
At this point, I placed the image on the pink background.
Then I cut out the wings from white fondant.
and placed them on the image as well as white pompoms on the shoes.
And just to add a bit of whimsy to the background, I added a couple stars and small butterflies.
I painted the image with food coloring mixed with alcohol. I painted the wings with pale blue, the butterflies with blue, the skin and hair with pale brown, the mouth with dark brown and the eyes with black.
Then I frosted a 6-inch cake dummy with green buttercream.
I placed the Tinkerbell image onto the cake.
Then I used a fondant press mold to make these tiny roses out of pink fondant.
My daughter helped me make some green leaves.


And we make some yellow flowers.
Then we start placing them around the cake, starting with the biggest ones.
But seriously? I am in love.
I love this cake. I love the colors. I love the design. There's not much I don't like here.
Really whimsical and beautiful.

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 ...

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...
