Jades Cake
My friend and her daughter were over one evening while I was decorating a cake. I had a spare kicking around (was just a little to dark around the edges, edible but not presentable as a wedding cake) and Jade (my friends daughter) was bored by our "mom talk" so I gave her the cake and a container with some left over decorations from cakes gone by, then I asked her for her fav colours and tinted a couple of icing bags for her. I let her go nuts and this is what she came up with. Not bad for a 5 year old! (Just turned 5)

My Second Wedding Cake
Bride wanted round, off white icing, no fondant w/ white roses. This is what I gave her. (we discussed the gold pearl dust on the roses in advance, I did not spring it on her, she loved it) It was a French Vanilla cake covered in off white butter cream icing. The bands around the base of each tier are fondant. The Roses were gumpaste. They were my first attempt at making roses. Thank you Edna!

First Wedding Cake
My friend asked for Marbled white and yellow fondant covered square cakes, stacked any way I chose. With a Orange daisies to match her theme/colour scheme and an Orange Drape. So this is what I gave her. The wedding was small (50 people) so the cake was three tiers, 10 in, 8 in, 6 in.

Savanah Cake
This cake was a birthday cake for a big Tiger fan. I tried to for a savanah feel. The whole cake is covered in butter cream. Blue for the watering hole and green/brown for the grasslands. There are gumpaste leaves forming "bushes" on the sides of the cake and around the Tiger. Originally he was supposed to be stalking a zebra but that was just too much for the top of the cake so we put the zebra down on the cake board.

Second Cake Assigned In The First Wilton Course.
This is my "clown cake" we were supposed to make and decorate a cake and then pipe some clowns on it. I thought a bunch of clowns staring at each other was boring so I tried to make it like they were helping one another scale the cake. Did not turn out quite like I expected
