Monkey Fashion
Birthday cake for my friends daughter. She was very specific about her cake details. She wanted monkeys, her clothing designs (she sent me two to choose from), and peace signs. This is what I came up with. I used FBCT for the monkeys and then made the clothes out of fondant and layed on top. Added the peace signs around 2 sides of the cake. The birthday girl thought it was perfect and loved that I used both of her clothing designs.

Bedroom Quilt
Birthday cake for woman who does a lot of quilting. Headboard and night stand are chocolate fondant, everything else is Vanilla Satin Ice. I really enjoyed making this cake but it was very time consuming and challenging. I learned a lot for the next cake like this. Idea came from 2chae, thanks.

Fabulous At Fifty
For my SIL's mom, I had the most fun making this cake. I had to travel an hour with it so I took all the pieces to put on the cake at the party. My husband carried the cake out to the car in my carrier and I told him to put a hand under the cake because it was so heavy, of course he didn't listen. When we arrived at my SIL he grabbed the cake up again with one hand and I repeated my warning. I turned and got the pieces for the cake out of the car and heard a big thud. I slowly turned around to find the bottom fell out of the cake carrier, thank goodness it fell straight down. The whole cake moved 1/2" on the board and the bottom half of the icing slid off the sides, but I was able to repair, lucky for my husband, if you look closely at the pictures you can see signs of stress in the icing.

Dock Fishing
My MIL wanted a very small 6" yellow cake w/chocolate buttercream for her neighbors birthday, I was told he liked to fish. I already had the cat tails, rocks, logs, and flowers; I only had to make the fishing pole, bag, and dock. My husband laughed and said how do you fish with a waterfall. I thought the single layer 6" and 8" was much cuter than just a double layer 6" cake.

Old Cabin In The Woods
Guy at work wanted a cake for his wife's birthday, old cabin with a porch in the woods, but wanted cake to be the cabin. I said sure I can do it!! This was the end result, I had a lot of trouble with the porch and roof, but overall I'm pleased with it. First time doing RI trees. Cake was vanilla carmel with carmel buttercream. Ran out of time so bench is plastic.
