Tar Heel Groom Cake With Rat
The bride told me that her husband was a recent graduate from the University of North Carolina (tar heels) as a Chemistry major and that the thing he hated the most about school was cutting on the lab rats. Soo, she wanted one on his groom cake. Made from rice cripies covered with chocolate fondant. Made him look like he had just taken a bite out of the top of the cake. Thanks for looking.

Advent Wreath
16" cake with an 8" cake cut out of the middle. I carved down the corners to make it round and then applied about 50 million fondant holly leaves. Finally gave up and filled in the gaps with buttercream using the leaf tip. I think it ended up looking more realistic with the different textrues. I rolled fondant around plastic dowels for the candles. Gumpaste bow. White chocolate pinecones. Thanks for looking

1950's Jukebox
This was made from three 10" square cakes that were 4"s tall each. The rounded top was made from 10" rounds cut in half and stood on the cut edges. Iced the whole thing with butter cream and then wrapped in chocolate fondant. Because the cake was so tall, I had a center dowel screwed into the wooden base plate. I cut holes in all the cake boards so I could just slip them over the dowl. The cake never moved during transportation. It was for a 60th birthday party.

Halo Guy And Xbox
These two cakes together were the groom cake for a friend of mine who is addicted to playing Halo. The head is made from rice crispies and the shoulders/body are cake. The Xbox is all cake covered in fondant which I put on too thickly causing the corners of the box to round out. Ah well, can't be perfect all the time. I did find some cool contact paper at Michaels with which I covered the cake board. It made it look like metal.

Fleur De Lis
Base cake is 12" x 18" with carved top layer. All covered in fondant with a lot of black fondant cut outs added to the top. Airbrushed the whole cake silver. The black fondant looks pewter colored - turned out really cool looking. The fleur de lis around the top layer are white chocolate brushed with silver high lighter dust.

Monkey Cake
4" 8" and 12" covered in fondant with fondant accents. The trees were made with pretzel rods and fondant/gumpaste leaves. The picture doesn't really show the small monkey that was also made from fondant/gumpaste. All the colors and design matched the party ware. You can kind of see it on the table cloth.
