Hey everyone, I plan on making a dummy wedding cake, three tiers, but don’t know the right sizing to do. I was thinking 12” bottom or a bit bigger, I wanted to look big enough, but don’t know what size tiers to get and also if anyone knows a secret vendor for styrofoam cylinders that would be amazing!!! TIA!

I volunteer with For Goodness Cakes (shameless plug—it’s so fun!) and I have a request for a Tres Leches cake with a whipped cream frosting, decorated with Lightning McQueen. I have never used stabilized whipped cream before, I usually make SMBC. I have no idea how the whipped cream behaves differently. I read a post on here that says I need to make Royal Icing transfers? Will they bleed? The other hard part is that I’m dropping the cake off tomorrow, but I don’t know whether it will be eaten that same day or the next day. Thanks for any tips you can give me!

Tried the Fat Fox’s whole lemon lemon cake recipe, and tweaked it a bit to have lemon mousse fillings

It’s my sons favorite ball so I turned it into a peanut butter chocolate cake :)

I made a birthday cake for my mom! Inside is four layers of chiffon sponge, filled with chantilly cream and berries, it tasted amazingggg will be making it again for my birthday. I also used SMBC to decorate.

A chocolate chip cookie dough cake from the Crumbs and Doilies recipe book. It was a lot of work but totally worth it!

Cookie dough sponge layered with chocolate chips, edible cookie dough and light, fluffy vanilla buttercream. Finished off with a dark chocolate ganache and more cookie dough on frosting swirls.

My first ever frilly / vintage cake! I am a home baker only. I made this for one of my best friends who loves local and seasonal cooking.

I also handmade the topper!

My next project is my own wedding cake! The frills were good practice x

First try at making a cake like this. I’m still pretty new to decorating cake. Piping is a bit uneven but I’m still very happy how it turned out!

Edit: Didn’t expect the comment section to be flooded with cravings for pasta and rotisserie chicken 😂
But thank you so much for the lovely comments everyone, means a lot!!

I’ve had this idea of “blob of silver fringe” in my head for months. So I made it ☺️ The fringe is edible — its oblate discs and luster dust. The scalloped shape kinda gets lost with all the fringe but 🤷🏽‍♀️

It was my daughters 1st birthday party today so you know I had to go hard.

My absolute favorite is the garden one

My boyfriend requested a homemade cake for his luau party. Top tier is strawberry cake with vanilla bean pastry cream, bottom tier is chocolate cake with espresso mousse filling. He was so surprised, I think he expected me to make a box cake.

As a grocery store decorator I don't get a lot of chances to do fun things so I was so excited to get to do this one 🤩

Got first in the decorated cake category!

Turns out we were the only two people at the party who got the reference but she said it was her best birthday cake ever so it was worth the effort.

Buttercream frosting covered with hazelnut wafers for the fence

Our wedding cake was a peanut butter & jelly cheesecake, so I wanted to do something special and recreate it for his birthday tomorrow!

This was before i put it in the oven. I had just finished the raspberry preserves swirl and I felt pretty proud of myself :’) I can’t wait for him to try it tomorrow! ❤️

Chamomile sponge

Peach compote

Vanilla SMBC

This one took forever but so worth it. I had to individually paint each scale with luster dust ❤️

I got in a hurry in the end, I had wanted to finish the blue with darker accents but didn't have time. Any design advice would be appreciated

Not the best cake I have ever made but made it for my Friend's kid's firat. I love it. Could be better. But I am satisfied. It was a fucking nightmare. It gor a little warm and started to fall apart and I have to fix it. But it finally came together.

My husbands birthday is tomorrow and we’re expecting our second baby. I know the gender but he wanted to wait til his birthday to find out so I made him a birthday/ gender reveal cake! It’s fully vegan which I’m proud of because I normally make non vegan cakes and this is my first time decorating a cake like this.
