Cowgirl Birthday
This cake was so fun to make! It was a chocolate cake with buttercream. The star is peanut butter candy pieces that I melted down, added yellow food coloring, poured into a Martha Stewart's huge copper cookie cutter & sprinkled with gold luster dust. The horseshoe is chocolate chips melted in the microwave, poured into the shape of a horseshoe, refrigerated, then carved to shape. To give it a rustic look, I dusted it with cocoa. And the rope is fondant.

Fishing Birthday Cake
This cake was made for my cousin who is turning 40! His wife wanted a fishing cake, she left the design up to me. I found out that he has a special lake he goes fishing on. So, I made this fisherman out of fondant sitting on the bank of the lake. He is sitting on a fondant ice chest w/tootsie roll beer bottles around him, holding onto a fishing pole(wood dowel) w/real fishing line(hard to see in picture). The cake is a basic white mix w/almond extract and the frosting is buttercream.
