The whole "spy theme" is an awesome idea. She has another pic showing the "hidden message" in a mirror.

2) KoryAK

http://cakecentral.com/modules.php?name=gallery&file=displayimage&pid=389163

3) scgriffiths

I admire anyone who can do dropstrings. Every aspect of this cake is perfect. I hope to make such beautiful dropstrings one day. This cake lets me know it is possible.

This is so much fun! Its interesting to see what everyone else's favs are!

I am a fan of emmascakes and think this deserves a mention

I love the detail and thought it should be looked at by more people.

I am off to put comments on my three choices.

ribbitfroggie - You made my morning! Thanks for including my cake in your list!!!!

Wow! I can't believe all of the great work that goes un noticed and unrecognized. Here are some of my favs.

By Price. My DH just loved this one as well.
http://cakecentral.com/modules.php?name=gallery&file=displayimage&pid=63061

By margery. My oldes son LOVED this one too.
http://cakecentral.com/modules.php?name=gallery&file=displayimage&pid=72576

By missiET. I just think this one is sooooo sweet.
http://cakecentral.com/modules.php?name=gallery&file=displayimage&pid=46834

I just love this post going on. I need to see if any of mine saves are worthy for this place.

Here are my favs:

Created by torki. I love the flowers and the colours. And I just love the oval shape. Most of the cakes are either square or round and this oval just appeals to me.

http://www.cakecentral.com/cake-photo_171463.html

Created by heiser73. I love teacups and saucers and I think he/she did a fabulous job on this.

http://www.cakecentral.com/cake-photo_332313.html

Created by vanbarbi. Came across this one just recently. It is the perfect cake for a little girl. I love everything about it, the colours, the flowers and the little girl. I am hoping my 8 yo will let me make her something like this for her birthday in July.

http://www.cakecentral.com/cake-photo_329393.html

This thread is so much fun! I've seen so many "new" cakes and have gotten even more inspired by the detail and imagination that flows from all you CC members!

Kay, this is a cool idea. I need to save this and come back a little later when I have some time to post mine and look at all of your posts. Can't wait. See you soon.

When I have the time I want to add to this list! Great idea! Thank you!

What a wonderful post!

Here is one of my favorites:

A fabulous cake, Whimsical by Fairytale.
http://www.cakecentral.com/cake-photo_67344.html

I was so stunned and flattered to see my Cup of Tea added to this post. Thank you KMHoudek for making my day!

I would love to add a couple of my all-time favorites to this list:

Here are a fewI saved to my favs, the first a year before I had the courage to post one of my own cakes. All of These works of art amazed and inspired me to keep trying.

The first I ever saved was this Marine Corps Emblem by Maria Short in hopes that someday I might be able to make this cake. (it is still on my list of "to-do's")

http://cakecentral.com/modules.php?name=gallery&file=displayimage&pid=564

My second all time fav is Talma's Yoda:

http://cakecentral.com/modules.php?name=gallery&file=displayimage&pid=3334

Another cake that I absolutely love was Lisa's Piano Room. The detail in it is stunning!

http://cakecentral.com/modules.php?name=gallery&file=displayimage&pid=749

Thank you again for the wonderful compliment of being added to this post.
I am truly truly honored!

I think there are a few more I would like to add. I may have too. but these are some that deserve a second or first look for sure!!

I have to say this was hard to get three but there are so many many more out there I would love to add.

This is a lovely thread. I also have some not-often seen favourites that I'd like to add.

This one by tonyas_jewels is a lovelyidea, tiered cake with flames licking up the sides. I love the shape of the flames:
http://cakecentral.com/modules.php?name=gallery&file=displayimage&pid=158123

This one by nefgaby is ever so simple. Single square tier decorated with cut out fondant. The reason I love it so much are the stunning colours, inspirational:
http://cakecentral.com/modules.php?name=gallery&file=displayimage&pid=56655

This one is a 3D modelled cake of a pie, peas and chips by annielo. I don't normally go for sculpted caes, but this one is wonderful. My other half would love to receive it:
