Snow Globe Cake

My attempt at a snow globe cake (thank you to all cc'ers who have done these before). The base is carved from two 6" cakes - devil's food cake with coconut pecan filling. The top is obviously the sports ball - cranberry gingerbread cake with cream cheese filling. The whole thing is iced and decorated in buttercream, the Merry Christmas plaque, snowmen, and trees are mmf accents. I sprinkled edible glitter and white sanding sugar over the globe and cake board to add sparkle / snowflakes.

Vanderbilt Football Helmet Cake

Helmet cake for my football fanatic husband! Vandy is my alma mater and his favorite college team. The helmt is orange cake with lemon-orange cream cheese filling - carved from half the sports ball pan and two 6" rounds. Covered in MMF. The base is done in buttercream with fondant accents. This was a cake disaster (I dropped the helmet after it was iced and fondant was applied) but I did the best I could to save it. Go 'Dores!!

4Th_July_Fondant.jpg

My first entirely fondant covered cake. Dark chocolate cake with raspberry and marzipan filling, painted marshmallow fondant. Covering the whole cake with fondant was more difficult than I thought! I am not happy with the way it turned out (many cracks), but a few strategically placed stars helped.
