Rainbow Bridal Shower
A special request from a friend for something with a rainbow theme that was more basic and not childish. It is hard to see in the photo but I rigged LED lights up through the fondant hearts at the top. It looked great in the darker room where the showere took place. Fun cake to make.

Lilly Cross Cake
A cake for my cousin's communion. From an old Wilton book. The Lillies were royal icing and I didn't leave enough drying time so these were the ones that made it.. would have liked many more, but at least i was able to salvage a few. Live and learn... but the cake was a hit at the celebration nonetheless....

Groovy!!
A cake for a friends 50th! He palys in a band and his wif put together an awesome ,"grrovy" 70's party. So I "tye dyed" some fondant by making various colors then rolled them gently together. I did each layer differnet so that it would have a real tye dye look to it. The accents are all fondant. I used Wilton's cake kit and put pictures of the birthday boy in between the layers. The cake itself was white with cannolli filling. I was thrilled with the outcome and the party was a blast...man....peace!!! lol

Tea Party
Got to try out the new Wilton impression mats on this cake. It was fun and easy to use. Made reapirs in the fondant a little tough so I eneded up doing it a couple times to make it right. The client thought it was so cool! So all went well. The birthday was for a 3 year old so they asked for a teapot with som girlie pizzaz!! I had fun making this!!

Tequila!
Made this for my girlfriend's 40th. Used a Jose' Quervo bottle for inspiration(she loves it!). The bottle 1/2 pound and 1/2 yellow so that it would have some substance to it. It's covered first in buttercream and them fondant. the details were very time comsuming but I had fun adding each to make the cake a unique gift for a dear friend. The glass is plastic filled with a lime jello shot. Everyone at the party loved the cake. Thanks for viewing!

Barbeue Time!
We had a September barbeque for my daughter's family party and I had seen these cute burgers and digs on another website. They were originally done on cupcakes but I put the all on a 10 in. round to look like a platter of burgers and dogs fresh off the grill! These were so much fun and actually very quick and easy to make and the kids loved eating them up!

Golf Cart Fun
This is a ckae I made for my father-in-law's 70th. I wanted to make it a bit more fomal but still fun so I added the fountain (like the water on a golf course and put some shredded green paper and the golf balls in Wilton's flower ring. He was thrilled! The cart is from a Wilton yearbook!

Tow Mater From Cars
I just love this character. He defintely take a lot of effort in detail and can be time consuming but he's so cute he's hard to resist. This little three year old was really excited. All is yellow torted with mousse and BC icing. Any accents on Tow Mater are made from fondant! Have fun!

Cars/ Lightning Mcqueen/ Tow Mater
I was so excited to do this cake for a friend. She asked for one or the other but I had so much fun doing Lightning that I decided to surprise her with both!! Each cake is white with pound mixed in for easier cutting and positioning. The outside is a mix of fondant and BC. This was one of my favorites to make. After their faces came to life I felt the rush of making a child very happy! Thanks to all the inspiration here at CC. You are all so amazing that I feel proud just to post among you!!!
