This page is a compilation of cake shares by Wedding cakes for You visitors. Starting with a gorgeous Mardi Gras Cake. This cake was made for a sweet 16 party. The theme was Mardi Gras. The young lady is very feminine and loved pink so we decided to feature pink as an accent color. The cake was pink velvet with vanilla butter cream.

Mr. and Mrs. Allsorts
by LAURA Melina Mansfield
(BRACKNELL BERKSHIRE)
Mr. and Mrs. Allsorts
MY NAME IS LAURA MANSFIELD I NEEDED TO CREATE SOMETHING DIFFERENT IN THE CAKE WORLD AND AS I LIKE MODELING I DECIDED TO MAKE BERTI BASSETTE AND BECAUSE BERTIE NEEDED A COMPANION I THE MADE BEATRICE BASSETTE.
Marzipan Figures And Fruitcake
ALL OF THE FIGURES I MADE WERE FROM MARZIPAN. ALL CAKES WERE FRUIT CAKES AND WITH JAMAiCAN RUM.
A Wedding Fair and A Craft Magazine
THE ACTUAL CAKE TOOK ME NEARLY TWO WEEKS. I MADE A THREE TIERED WEDDING CAKE. AND WENT TO A WEDDING FAIR WHERE PEOPLE LOVED WHAT I CREATED. I THEN WENT ON TO CAKE AND CRAFT MAGAZINE. I RECENTLY GOT THE STAR PRIZE IN THE JUNES ISSUE. I WILL RECEIVE £40 OF CAKE DECORATING EQUIPMENT AS A PRIZE.
Cake Decorating Classes
I ALSO TOOK A BEGINNERS COURSE AND AN ADVANCED COURSE WITH MASTER CHOCOLATIER MARK TILLING. WHAT AN EXPERIENCE!!!
The Cake Decorating Bug Has Bitten
I HAVE HAD THE SUGARCRAFT BUG FOR MANY YEARS AND I AM SO PASSIONATE AND ExCITED ABOUT WHAT I HAVE ACHIEVED. I WILL CONTINUE AND HOPE TO INSPIRE OTHER PEOPLE, AS I ALSO HAVE BECOME A TEACHER OF SUGARCRAFTING.
TIP
WHEN MODELING USE A PRODUCT CALLED CMC. PUT HALF OF A TEASPOON IN HALF OF A POUND OF SUGARPASTE LEAVE FOR AN HOUR. WHEN KNEEDING THE PASTE IT WILL START TO BECOME ELASTIC. ITS THEN TIME TO USE IT.
Thank you Laura for a great story and cake entry. What an unusual and interesting cake. Congratulations on the award from the crafting magazine too!

Monkey Birthday Cake
by Phyllis White
(Chico, Ca)
Grandaughter's First Birthday Cake
My Grandaughter's Monkey Birthday Cake.
The party was a monkey birthday theme. I wanted to make something very sweet, so I created a sweet little girl monkey sitting on the cake eating a banana. I sculpted the monkey out of fondant. It was a vanilla with banana pudding filling. I made a marshmallow fondant, covered the cake and made the decorations with the it.
My granddaughters monkey birthday cake was a huge success.

Fondant Cake
by Zaynab
(Abbas)
This is my Second Fondant Cake
I would really love to thank you for this treasure and most valuable website. It has really helped me a lot.
I joined a Wilton cake decorating course and we had to make fondant and roses. They taught us how to do the fondant and the roses but they didn't teach us how to make the cake because it's not part of the course.
Your website really helped so much. I made the lemon cake which is the best and the yummiest cake I have ever tasted and I made the carrot cake.
Thank you very much for the information.

"a most delicious Italian Rum Cream Cake by Robin Covey
by Robin Covey
(Akron, Ohio)
A most delicious Italian Rum Cake
The process took me 3 days in the preparation for this cake...one day to bake and soak the rum syrup throughout the cut layers. Another day to cure.
And then I made my delicious home made vanilla custard, divided it in half and made some chocolate as well. Then I used a chocolate drizzily fudge that I make that sets over each layer of rum soaked layers and filled it with my custards and my own buttery whip cream frosting.
I decorated the 4 layer 9" morsel somehow they always taste better that way. The cake was left to chill for the remainder of the day and then presented for a wedding cake tasting that evening. They were so impressed with the flavor I get the pleasure of making their cake in September.
Just wanted to share not one of my prettiest creations, but one of my tastiest. I don't expect to try and win this awesome contest with all the other excellent works of art.

Butterfly Cake
by Meghan Brown
(WIlliamsburg, VA)
I made this butterfly cake for a customer. She brought me a single napkin and asked me to make her a baby shower cake. So this was what I made.
As you can imagine, the napkin was pink with stripes and pretty little butterflies. This was my very first fondant one, and I think it turned out just perfect! All of the decorations were in buttercream. The customer had her own topper. :)

Hi sorry i guess Meghan did not see your question. I can only tell you that prices vary greatly. It depends on the area you live in, what type, and how much decorating is involved. Some people charge for delivering as well.

Princess Pillow cake!

I made this princess pillow cake for a girl turning 18! Her Mom wanted to surprise her with this 3 tier cake.
The Decoration
The beaded jewels are homemade and modeled with gumpaste covered in Dixie dust. I made edible sugar gems, using gem molds. I added gumpaste jewelry and the pillow was carved out of two cakes.
Fondant was put on each pillow then put together! A tiara made out of gumpaste and sprayed with silver luster, sits on top of pillow decorated with pearl dragees. The flowers are all hand made out of gumpaste, using large tear drop flower cutters.
The Zebra print was 50- 50 gumpaste and fondant rolled out thin and applied with a little water for glue.
The Cake Flavors
The flavors of the cake were, chocolate & white with buttercream! The b-day girl was so surprised when I delivered the cake. She called me later to thank me for making her cake and told me how much she LOVED it!
I really had fun making this cake, this was my first tiered princess pillow cake.

Princess Penny
My daughter wanted a princess cake this year so I bought a cake doll and baked up 5 delicious layers of classic white cake and filled it with cherry filling and after a few processes of icing and cutting and chilling here's the creation I designed.
Princess and the Frog Cake
by Connie
(Stewartsville, NJ)
This is the cake that started it all for me. My 4 year old was begging for a Princess and the Frog birthday cake. I wanted to have something really special and not just a grocery store one with the plastic figures pushed in. So I went online and found everything I needed. Then watched a little YouTube, read some Colette Peter's books, labored in the kitchen for almost 7 hours...but in the end, she was beyond thrilled with Mommy's Princess And The Frog creation.
FABULOUS!
by: Norma
Whether as a wedding cake or a birthday, this is fabulous. Congratulations!
Size layers
by: Anonymous
What size layers did you use for the cake?
Hi I'm answering for Connie in case she does not see this post.
Looks like either an 8 and a 6 inch or a 10 and an 8 inch.

This cake was made for my cousin who loves Louis Vuitton pocketbooks and fashion in general. The cake has pocketbooks, lipstick, eyeshadow, nail polish and a mini version of her on top. The main attraction is the Louis Vuitton shoe on top. She absolutely loved the cake. The cake itself was vanilla sponge with fresh strawberry filling.Wow I love it. So fashionable. I love all of the details on your cake and it sounds delicious too. Thank you for entering this wonderful shoe cake design for a high fashion cake.

Spiked Heel
by Edith Sieg-Reed
(Newport News, VA)
A young lady that I met happens to like the designer Christian Louboutin and asked if I could help make her birthday special. She wanted a pair of his famous shoes, and this was her way of having them ;-)
Thank you Edith for your spiked heel cake. Very cool! Can you give us some details on how you made these fabulous shoes?

Making the spiked shoe
by: Anonymous
Using crispy rice cereal is so much easier to deal with; someone else mentioned, it is lighter than an actual cake as well. I'm sure one could carve out a shoe, but the crispie rice is so fun to play with. You almost have to overcook the marshmallows. By doing this, it makes the contents stick together better. I like to eat these delicious treats, but for the sake of molding, it has to be harder, so the marshmallows just need to be cooked longer.
Superman Cake
by Edith Sieg-Reed
(Newport News, VA)
Superman cake! I am a nurse and a young man that has Down's syndrome was at the nurse's station talking about his upcoming birthday. I asked him what kind of cake would he want and he replied, Superman. His enthusiasm prompted this cake. The look of surprise and all the hugs and thank yous from this special guy was priceless! The fondant back drop was my first, so I was delighted in it turned out.
Thank you Edith for yet another great entry into the cake competition. What a nice thing you did making the superman cake for this little boy.

This picnic cake was made for my mom and her friends. They love to have picnics, talk and eat really good food. So she asked me to make a cake that represented her friends and of course her.
Here is what I came up with. A cake with her and her two friends enjoying a picnic. It is a chocolate cake with icing on the top covered with rolled fondant, fondant flowers and fondant figures.
I like this cake because it can be used in every occasion.
My mom and her friends loved the cake so much they did not want to cut it. I felt all my hard work has paid off with my picnic cake.
I hope you like it:)

Question
by: Eva
I am new at this cake thing so I don't know that much. I was wondering how you did the tablecloth. Is that fondant, or did you use food writing markers? My work place is having a picnic and I'm doing a cake. I thought of doing something with this tablecloth pattern. This cake is amazing!!

Cat Birthday Cake
by Meena Mustafa
(Virginia USA)
I made this cat birthday cake for Mohd's birthday which was on the 6th of June. He just loves cats. So I surprised him with this cake cause all his three cats love being in the living room :). The decor from carpet to couch was created by me using gum paste and food colors. If you look closely I even made the cat's poop near the plant lol. The flavor was German chocolate covered in fondant. I really enjoyed making the art work for this cake. Hope you guys will like it too :)
Thanks Meena Your cat birthday cake is great! Very unique idea.

Pumpkin Graveyard Cake

This pumpkin graveyard cake has a delicious double chocolate as it's base layer, topped with Hershey's chocolate icing and Oreo cookie crumbs.
The Pumpkin is made of a delicious yellow cake recipe topped with orange and green fondant, with dark chocolate for it's face.
Also on this wonderful cake are a variety of Halloween decorations all made from white and dark chocolate which include ghosts, rat, eyeball, skull, tombstone, and a bone arm coming out of the grave. Wrapped around the cake is candy corn and a few mellow creme pumpkins.
After making this Pumpkin Graveyard Cake, I definitely learned how important greasing the pan prior to baking is. Lost a whole cake! :(

"I Love Sweets" Birthday Cake
by Ann Bailey
(North Carolina)
This "I Love Sweets" cake was made for a young girl whose mother said she couldn't make up her mind what kind she wanted. She went back and forth between an ice cream one to chocolate cupcakes to strawberry shortcake. So I thought it was a good idea to combine all of them into one.
The ice cream cone is made of rice Kripsie treats and the slice of cake on top is strawberry with fresh strawberries inside. The bottom is a triple chocolate fudge with chocolate ganache, covered with fondant.
I decorated the bottom tier with fondant cupcakes flavored with amaretto. I had fun making it and the young girl and mother loved it.
Thank you Ann for a great entry! The idea is very unique. Love it. Hope it gets lots of comments and ratings.

Ahoy!
by Mary Chraca
(Wood Dale, IL)
Ahoy! The Mayflower
For Thanksgiving, I wanted to make a cake that would wow my family and friends but also represent the holiday. I have done various turkey themed deserts, so I decided to do something different: The Mayflower.
Construction
The base is a regular half sheet. I dyed buttercream an ocean blue and spread it on generously. Using my flat spatula, I went over the icing in a rocking motion to replicate the sea, creating a wave effect.
For the boat, I baked a cake in a bread pan. I knew this would give me a dense and oblong cake (similar in structure to a ship) without much carving. Once the cake cooled, I cut off a rectangle piece (the last sixth of the bread-pan cake). I put that on top of the end of the cake to create height and secured it with frosting.
I then began carving the ship. I rounded the back. At the front of the ship, I carved it to a point and slowly angled downward. Once completed, I dirty-iced the ship. Next, I covered it in a light brown and added a piped border in a slightly darker brown.
Cake Decorations
For decorations, I piped three stars on either side of the ship as well as on the back. I cut 5 small marshmallows in half and placed the sticky side on top of each star to act as windows. For the ship's sails, I used 3 pretzel rods, cutting two of them to be shorter than the middle sale. Lastly, I cut three squares from edible paper and punched holes on either side placing them over the pretzel rods. Voilà!
Thanks Mary, I love your Ships Ahoy cake design, You gave a couple of great decorating tips too. Love the pretzel rods and edible paper sails tip. And the frugal: baking tip.
Thanks for entering the cake decorating contest. Good luck and may you get lots of comments and ratings.

Baptism Cake
by Ilona

My Baby Boy's Baptism Cake
Baptism Cake For My Baby Boy
Family and friends were coming to celebrate my baby boy's Christening and I wanted to make a cake for the occasion. When I began to think about the type I was going to make I decided that I wanted it to symbolize certain aspects of his special day.
Since it was a baptism I wanted to show both innocence and purity. I decided to use chocolate to represent the innocence of children (what kid doesn't like chocolate?), and white flowers to symbolize the purity and tranquility of a newborn.
For the bottom tier I used yellow with chocolate ganache' and vanilla meringue filling (which took 2 attempts to make it correctly). The upper tier was chocolate with chocolate ganache'. The dogwood fondant flowers were brushed with petal dust powder to make them appear realistic.
The best compliment I received was it was as delicious as it was pretty.
Ilona R.
Thank you Ilona for submitting your beautiful Chocolate Baptism Cake. It is very sweet. The fondant flowers are very well done too :-) and it looks so yummy.
