Big 4-0
Yellow cake with airbrushed fondant and cream cheese dots. Top layer had cream cheese filling and the bottom layer had chocolate buttercream. Matched decorations at party. The ribbon was requested to be removed to add candles that spelled out "Oh No the Big 40". This was my first time using all the recipes and covering a cake in fondant.

Star Wars - Clone Wars
Chocolate cake with oreo filling & buttercream frosting. All toppers are toys - picked out by the birthday boy who had a set scene arranged. He wanted to gaurantee he got some action figures for his birthday, so he picked out this set and told his mom he wanted it on top of his cake. Smart kid :0)

Usmc Graduation
Not as clean as I would have liked, but all things considered (I don't work with fondant) I like the look. 14" hex is chocolate with cookies-n-creme filling covered in BC & fondant accents. 10" round is vanilla with cnc filling covered in BC. The inside is half red and half yellow - Marine Corps colors. The 2nd Battalkion and expert rifle badges are edible images, EGA is white chocolate with luster dust, everything else is fondant.

Daisy/bamboo
This was a very last minute cake. The bride is all about Hawaii, tropical, bright vibrant colors and bamboo. Since I had less than 24 hours notice this is what I came up with. I was disappointed with the cookies - the majority of them in the can were broken. French Vanilla with Pralines n Creme, Chocolate BC filling.

Teacher Appreciation Quilt
10" french vanilla with chocloate BC & 8" lemon with lemon curd. Covered in BC with fondant accents. First time a cake has buldged on me (I used supports and a cake board). I didn't make enough frosting so it was thin on both tiers (normally I make way too much). I have flowers on two sides and a quilt pattern on two sides. Thanks to Sweet Hope for the inspiration.

Bugs
The mom called me the morning of her son's party and asked if I would come over and help her. She had made all the cupcakes, made one CCC with oreo's for dirt and had the worms coming out of it. Her frosting was store bought (the green) so it was really soft. I had no time to plan and this is all I came up with. The pizza delivery guy LOVED them (so did the kids)!

3D Basketball
All he wanted was a basketball for his b-day - no specification. They were blown away with a 3D cake. Vanilla with chocolate BC filling. BC icing. Color was hard to get, but in the end it turned out good and matched teh spalding I was using as my example. They were all trying to figure out how I got the texture.

Lipstick Cake & Lips Cookies
Chocolate Fudge cake with banana cream filling. BC frosting with the silfer divider being chocolate fondant covered in Nu Silver. The lipstick portion also had pearl dust and pure gold to give it a shimmer. On the side are NFSC with RI and luster dust. I don't like the writing, but that is what I get for doing it at 3 AM. They were going to a venue called "LIPS". Apparently the restaurant/theater was interested in the cake even though they have signature deser

Golf Ball Cake
Carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and filling. I asked my FIL what his preferred golf ball was (he didn't know what I was making) and he said second owner (meaning any ball he could find on his daily walk since he lives next to a golf course). After more probing he told me the Pro V 1.
