This kind of henna/lace piping is something I've only tried one other time, and it was white-on-white so I was able to just wipe away the buttercream if I made a mistake or a line I didn't like. Eggplant-on-white is another animal altogether, and an unforgiving one at that, so there's about a million lines I would have adjusted if I could.
Yeah I still do cupcakes too. Hardly high art, but I thought these were weird and cute. It's always strange to try and replicate a character in cupcake form. We do it a lot with Sesame Street characters and other muppets. It's especially weird when the character isn't something I'm familiar with. Maw, anyone?
This week's work load and some truly unfortunate scenarios with our staff have sucked the life out of me (which is why there's no Year In Review yet). But I'm pretty happy with at least one product of my anguish.
This is the latest creation for our favorite customer of all time. Our other decorator made Neverland itself and the landmarks on and around it. I'm responsible for everything above and below the island. Pardon Peter's derpy left eye. Faces are hard.
I'd never painted in grey scale before, so my talented fellow decorator made the middle guy to show me how, and I did the dudes on either side. Happy Halloween!
Some simple elegant cake from today, nothing exciting. Sometimes it's a bummer replicating a customer's reference picture, since there's not much room for creativity, but most give us a chance to at least try new techniques.
This one is particularly special. A customer ordered a cake with three animal figurines on top, and they just happened to be the same as the first animals I ever sculpted with fondant. I took it as a chance to see if I'd gotten any better, so for comparison's sake...
I felt weird making this and weirder posting it, but here goes. My grandma wanted to have a 1st birthday party for Adonis, and at the last minute decided we needed a cute cake to serve, because reasons. So uh, I re-appropriated my commission from @Feyrll. I guess if you ever wondered what alternate timeline naked German shepherd Daraius looks like (and I know I have), there's this...
