More Amazing Cakes from the #KYStateFair

My husband just about had to drag me out of the cake display section of the fair… I certainly could have lingered there longer admiring the amazing detail and clever designs.  Here are a few more of my favorite cakes.  I hope they inspire you, too!
Cupcakes for Baby Shower
The detail on the babies is incredible, certainly an adorable baby shower idea! 

Butterfly and Flower Cupcake Arrangement
This one just made me smile.

 

Halloween Cake with Spiders
Instantly put me in the mood for Halloween.  I’d like to make the middle layer
and add a spider or two for our next Halloween gathering.  So clever!

 

Snowmen and snow scene cake
The melted snowman totally makes me giggle!

 

Tiffany Lamp and Tea Mug Cake
In awe of this ingenious design and execution of detail.

 

Colorful flowers on Square Cake
Love the bright colors and realism of the flowers.  Someone needs
to make this for my birthday! 🙂

 

Arctic Cake with Polar Bears, Penquins, Walrus, and Seals
Every bit of this cake is amazing, but I was most impressed with how real the
ice looks dripping down from the glaciers.

    Are those babies made from icing? and I love the Halloween cake and may try something not tiered for my grand kids like that.

    I don’t know whether to thank you for all these lovely photos or not. This morning I was drinking my coffee and thought I should take some cake decorating classes and buy tools. GASP! Where did that thought come from??? I’m thinking it is you, girlfriend.

    My favorite is the snowman melting! The babies are not something I think I could actually eat though…. Some of these are ingenious!

    Love the one with the polar bears! Wonder how long it too to make these with as much detail as they all have. Thanks so much for sharing them! Blessings!

    HOLY COW!! I cannot believe how beautiful these cakes all are. I went to our county fair and the cakes were no where near this cool.

    Those are amazing cakes! I don’t work with fondant yet, because I lack the surface area needed roll it out. Someday maybe. 🙂
