Tangled cake: top of tower tutorial

You can use a sugar cone or if you are doing a tangled tower on a larger scale you can use a waffle cone.



Wrap your cone with fondant.

glue your covered cone to your base(cake or foam)

roll out brown fondant and cut out a square using your square cutter

take a smaller square cutter and cut out 4 squares inside your bigger square

attach your window to your base

roll out 2 log shaped(tapered at on end)

curl in the ends opposite from each other

attach your window sides

Roll out a piece of fondant into the shape you want for the top of you window. I just shaped this by hand.

attach this piece to the top of your window

roll out a thin piece of brown fondant cut 1" strip and then cut in half.

now you have 2 1/2" pieces. Curl ends.

this is what they look like when both ends are curled

Attach both pieces to the top of your window

roll out a piece of brown and cut out a strip for the bottom of your window


roll out fondant in a few different colors and cut out flowers for the window. Roll out a thin log shaped green piece of fondant.

this is what it looks like at this point

Roll out a piece of colored fondant. This will be used for the roof.

Lightly score the top of you piece for fondant.

Now using a small square cutter cut out the tiles for the roof.

Start adding your tiles at the front working your way around.

continue adding your tiles until you reach the top.
once tiles are all the way at the top roll a small ball and attach it to the top.
Here is the one I did a few months ago.

Peek-A-Boo Boobie cake with black ruffle bra tutorial

Peek-A-Boo Boobie cake with black ruffle bra tutorial:
I used 2 half sphere pans shown above. Bake your cake and then let cool. Place them in position on cake board. Then coat with butter cream and place in icebox for about 1hour to chill
take cake out of icebox, roll out ivory fondant or whatever flesh color you want to use.
Cover your cake with your fondant. Trim edges and smooth with hands.
Make sure you press into the top between your 2 cake so you get the "v" shape (cleavage).
next roll out black fondant big enough to cover part of one side of the breast. Cut a straight line on one side of the black fondant.
Brush bottom half of breast with edible glue. Place the straight edge along one side of the breast. Trim excess and smooth with hands.
Now do the same thing for the other side.
Take a small circle cutter for the nipples.

Attach nipples on cake with edible glue and take a tool with a point  or toothpick and poke little holes for the spots around the nipple.
Now cut a long strip of red fondant. This is to make the ruffles of the bra
fold and pinch the bottom of the fondant to form the ruffles.
looks like this as your working the folds
Here's another look
Now cut off all the extra fondant on the bottom half of your ruffles
Run edible glue along the edge of the black fondant. Now attach your ruffles on both sides of your bra.
I have a string of pearls mold so I just use this for the trim of the bra. But if you don't have a mold like this you can just roll little balls of black fondant for the trim.





Now attach your pearls along the edges. Once you attach your pearls on all your edges make a little ruffle pom pom for the center of your bra. The ruffle pom pom is made the same way as the ruffles for the trim but
 you are just bunching them together to form a circular pattern. Attach it with edible glue.


There you go!!!!

3D Soccer Ball Cake Tutorial by Liz Huber @ Cakery Creation Palm Coast/St. Augustine, Daytona beach cakes




3D Soccer Ball Cake:
Here are my 2 halves filled and ready for a coat of buttercream. Coat the cake with a layer of butter cream and then place cake in the icebox to chill a little. While your cake is chilling start your cake board.

Cover the cake board with green fondant. Next roll a log shaped green fondant piece and attach it to the covered cake board in a circular shape like in the picture.Attach this piece with edible glue. This is where the ball cake will rest and stay in place.

Next you can use either of these tools to give a grass effect. If you use the tip lightly prick the fondant surface of your cake board then flicking in an upward motion. If you use the brush then lightly press it into the fondant rolling over the whole surface.








This what your cake board should look like after adding the desired grass effect.
I airbrushed mine a little with a darker green but you don't have to.

Now place your chilled soccer ball into the dwelling on top of the cake board. This will keep your ball from moving.


Moving on to decorating the soccer ball.
I didnt want to make a template and hand cut all the hexagons & pentagons so I had http://www.cohodesignsllc.com/ design custom cutters for me. We calculated the exact size I needed for this specific sphere. These cutters were a huge time saver.

Next you are going to use black and white fondant.  Start cutting your pieces out. I only cut out 1 black and 5 white at a time. I placed a black pentagon and then 5 white hexagons around the black. Add stitch marks around each piece. Start your pattern on the front side of the cake.

Here is another look at the pattern.
It's like a puzzle. Just keep adding the black with white around the whole ball. Now use a moist cloth and lightly dust off any powdered sugar on the surface of your cake.
The name plate on the cake board was cut with a pizza cutter. I used alphabet stamps to imprint the name then brushed on a little green edible paint over each letter.
There you go! Enjoy!
