Fondant Polaroid Camera birthday cake

This cake is meant to be a representation of the older style Polaroid camera-the 690 in this case. The camera itself is all handed carved, frosted with buttercream and covered in fondant. The camera is detailed with the flash, lens, dials and more. All detail is hand cut and sculpted from fondant. The camera is butter yellow cake which holds up a bit better for carving. The Polaroid is sitting on top of a 12" 2 layer golden yellow cake, frosted with buttercream and covered in fondant. It is finished with white fondant beads.

Fondant covered Vegas themed wedding cake: playing cards, four suits, dice

This is a Vegas themed wedding cake that I did for a couple who 'got hitched' in Vegas!! They had their reception here a few months later. The wife had this cake made for her husband as a surprise. She felt strongly that the cake include the important elements of being in Las Vegas-dice, playing cards, the suits. This is a three tiered cake covered in fondant. The bottom tier is golden yellow with buttercream icing, covered in a fresh layer of white fondant. There are evenly spaced groupings of the four suits around the perimeter. The bottom is finished off with black fondant beads. The middle layer is delectable chocolate cake with buttercream icing, covered in white fondant. Black fondant diamonds touching at the point of a silver dragee adorn this layer. It is finished off with red fondant beads. The top tier is classic white cake with buttercream icing, covered in white fondant, black fondant circles resembling a dice, and is finished with black fondant beads. The playing cards on top are made out of white modeling chocolate. They are each handcut and smoothed to depict an actual card. The markings on the cards are also made out of white modeling chocolate.
