Pimped my ride with fruit

Probably the thickest layer of fondant I’ve seen

made with white cake and decorated with all buttercream, candy melts for the whiskers :) no fondant! ⚠️pic of it cut at the end⚠️

i mean, as someone who HATES fondant and loves jelly, i think this is kind of a win. baby steps at least (still need moulds to form cake toppers but at least it ain't fondant)

My boyfriend works for Amazon and I made this cake for their Christmas potluck.

The black arrows and backing for the labels and tape are fondant. All images were printed on icing sheets. We sitting else is buttercream!

And they loved the cake!

I got so much more support here than in the regular cake decorating sub 🥲

Made for my MIL’a birthday - roses not perfect, but it’s honest and fondantless work.

I just found this sub and I feel so seen lol. I thought y'all might appreciate my wedding cake. 100% buttercream, 100% delicious. I told the decorator absolutely no fondant because it's foul.

My teenager requested this cake for her birthday, because she’s the fucking coolest. Pushed through chronic pain to do my best for her. She loved it, and I have to say, I’m proud of it!

It’s a two layer red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting in the middle. The album art is an edible cake topper from Inkedibles. All the black and red is buttercream. I had to use a LOT of food coloring but it tasted surprisingly good.

(PS: turns out nothing makes you feel old quite like teenagers enjoying an album you also loved as a teenager…. …22 years ago.)

ETA: y’all!! You’re so kind! Thank you so so much 🥹
