Tire Cake in Buttercream- Cake Decorating- How To

This cake was tough to make! Not because of the skill involved, but because of the shear agony of destroying a perfectly good Wedding Cake! Every decorator knows that a large sigh of relief when all of the borders and flowers are perfectly placed on a cake, especially one the size of a Wedding Cake. This design calls for chocolate meant to look like mug to be splattered all over the side of the cake. For any decorator the act of splattering anything all over a newly finished Wedding Cake is horrifying!

In the end this is a fun design! It's great to say you've done at least once. The tire part of this design is really cool and can be done quickly without the use of fondant. It would be a great design for a boys birthday cake with the addition of some hot wheels. Any car lover would enjoy this design as well.

White Chocolate Mum Cake- Cake Decorating- Video

I Saw this flower in a florist shop and just had to figure out a way to make it for a cake.
I went through 4 generations before I finally got what I wanted.

I found that the biggest struggle was to make the petals irregular. It's such a habit to make things even that I had to really  try to make them uneven. But it really needs to be. 

Mounting this flower on the side proved to be a bit more challenging. But all in all this is a very easy and quick flower after just a little practice.

This is the third generation of this flower, it was still to even at this point. I also added some yellow in the center.

More fun with Barbie! Even though I am not really a big Zombie fan, I thought this would be a lot of fun and it was! I wanted it to look like Barbie was coming up out of a graveyard . I used a quick icer tip with a bag striped with green and brown. I created ledges with it to place the tombstones in. The Tombstones are made of royal icing. I used some crushed Oreo for the dirt and coconut for the grass.

I used a "Ken" shirt and cut it up and burnt parts of it. Then I used some food coloring to "dirty" it further.

I "zombied" her face with some eyeliner and red food coloring. Her hair is full of eye shadow, food coloring and hairspray. It was a fun experiment and my zombie fans love it:)
