Crown on Billowed Cake for Baby Shower

Crown cake and ruffled ombré smash cake for the princess granddaughter of a good friend. The technique on the top tier is called "billowing" and this is my first attempt. It took TIME, for sure! Big cake is chocolate cake with cream cheese amazing filling (lol), buttercream icing and lots of marshmallow fondant accents. The gold is achieved with colored marshmallow fondant, gold food safe spray and edible gold dust. The decor on the side of the cake is made with a fondant mold. Smash cake is vanilla with ruffled buttercream icing. It's a fun look, just takes a little time to switch out the icing color for every row.

Pink and Gold Princess Cake with Crown

This is for a good friend's baby girl, who still thinks she is a princess and really wanted a gold and pink cake, ha ha. WITH a crown, no less.i was more than happy to oblige, although the gold was a giant PAIN. I could have photographed my first attempt and turned it into a Pinterest FAIL, as that's what it was, lol. But I just scraped that off and started over…this fun cake is Neapolitan zebra on the inside(chocolate, strawberry and vanilla in case you forgot what Neapolitan was, lol), amazing cream cheese filling (I really think it is) and buttercream icing, with additional accents of gold glitter sugar, edible gold dust, edible gold spray and edible gold flakes. I have no idea how all that gold tastes, but at least she had the sparkles she desired for her party! And the CROWN. It's marshmallow fondant, hand shaped and decorated with gold paint, gold glitter and edible silver draggees.

Gold Digger Birthday Cake

I was a bit hesitant about this cake. Gold nuggets? I was afraid they would look like nuggets of a different kind, hee hee! (If that had happened, we'd have had to change the sign to read "Happy Birthday, You Old Poop!" LOLOLOL) As it turned out, the nuggets did look goldish and he was happy with his cake. The cake itself was a golden yellow cake with vanilla creme filling and buttercream frosting. The "nuggets" are rice krispy treats covered with buttercream frosting and edible gold dust.
