Frozen buttercream transfers

Code: Football002
Code: Children004

I was searching for few ways to transfer pictures to cakes other than using the piping gel. And I came across this website http://www.cakecentral.com/article12-How-To-Create-a-Frozen-Buttercream-Transfer.html. This website teaches the step-by-step of frozen buttercream transfer. So I made these two cakes using the same method. I still need to improve my skills on this method. What problem I faced..the smoothness of the picture..it's not that smooth enough. Anyway, people were amazed with the cakes, though.

21st birthday

Code: Flowers002

This is a simple 21st birthday cake. There was no specific request from the birthday boy, so I just made a simple design.

Clifford, The Big Red Dog

Code: Children003
Code: Children002

The first cake is a marble cake and the latter is a chocolate cake. Clifford were made using piping gel. I traced clifford's picture on the cake and outlined it with black-colored buttercream icing. And then I filled in red-colored piping gel.




Double hearts

Code: Heart004

This is a butter cake covered with buttercream icing. I made two heart-shaped butter cake and combined both by cutting one of the cakes.The flowers were made of fondant (this was my first experiment with fondant). I used the cookie cutters to make the flowers. And I added the heart-shaped sprinkles at the sides.

Sisters cake

Code: Fun001

Another cake I really admire. The color combination turned very well. Sweet colors. This is a simple butter cake I did for a birthday celebration for 2 sisters with same birth date. I made the two girls on the cake using buttercream icing. I really love working with buttercream icing. You can really decorate the cakes in so many styles or patterns using buttercream icings.


Cinderella

Code: Doll002

This is one of my favourite cake. I did this for my niece's 4th birthday. She loves cinderella and this cake brought smiles on her face. This cake turned out well and was a hit during the party. Anyhow, all the cakes will end up "under the knife". The skirt is butter cake and the body is full of buttercream icing. I covered the board with buttercream as well.

Doll cake

Code: Doll001

This is my first doll cake. It was one of my "try-out" project. No idea of what dress design to put in, so I just used my imagination( can become a fashion-designer :)). It turned out well I guess.

Sweet 16

Code: Flowers001

This is a sweet 16 cake for a girl (obviously). There was no specific request for patterns. So I just randomly added flowers with different colours, to make the cake "sweet". It is a chocolate cake.



My very first cake...

Code: Book001

I did this cake for my dad's 60th birthday. It is a book-shaped chocolate cake covered with buttercream icing. I added the 2 clowns just to make the cake look "fun". It was a hit among the kids, though! The clowns' body are made from buttercream as well.
