Showcase your work!

[Nierrasew]

There are very few places online where you can showcase your work unless you have your own website of Facebook page. I love seeing what everyone else is working on, encouraging others, and I can bet others do too! So, I thought it might be nice to have a thread where you can show off what you've done and give some kudos to others.

Hi I’m new to the forum, not too experienced of a baker, it’s become a hobby this past year, but i just wanted to say that your cookie art is incredible. Here’s a couple of cheesecakes I made when i first started baking.

Lemon blueberry swirl cheesecake

Pumpkin cheesecake, a bottom layer of cranberry sauce with a bit of orange zest.

Those cheesecakes look delicious @Nierrasew!

They look as delicious as I'm sure they taste!! Now I'll be craving cheesecake. Thank you for the compliment on my cookies. It's a true labor of love... as I believe all baking is.

Forgot to post these. They went over very well for Christmas, Hanukkah and just a winter treat.

Those snowflake cookies are so cute! What did you use for the ice crystals?

Thank you! The crystals are sold by Wilton. They're basically sprinkles but cut larger.

Forgot to add a photo of the cake I made for Christmas day! We wanted something a little lighter than traditional Christmas pudding, so I made an Orange & Cardamom cake. Here is the recipe: https://www.nigella.com/recipes/clementine-cake (I added about 1.5tsp ground cardamom, and it's topped with homemade candied orange slices)

That is sooo adorable! I really like the fine brush work. It really takes the cookie art to the next level.

I didn't want the pictures that big or cut off. The way I post them, it gives people the choice if they want to open and view them or not.

Made these as a gift for my son's friend who helped me out to plan his 40th birthday... Critical Role, Firbolg characters

They're awesome! I thought they were Avatar characters at first

OK, my niece's fifth birthday is today, and I made the most elaborate cake I've made yet for it. A few months ago at her brother's second birthday, she requested a Unicorn cake, and her mother (my sister) made a more detailed request of me. I'm really happy about this cake, and hope that maybe it's time for me to really start that business I've always talked about.
The cake is Vanilla Buttermilk cake, and the frosting is American Buttercream.

Please tell me what you think.

 

[Becky]

That's very impressive! Good work @Matthew21 Your niece is a very lucky girl!

OK, another Saturday's work done, another cake for my portfolio.

You did a beautiful job! I did custom cakes for 25 years. Keep at it!
