Fish Groom's Cake
This was my first groom's cake! It's based on/inspired by the Colette Peters cake from the mystery cake challenge on Food Network. It's a 14, 10, 6 chocolate cake, WBH cookies & cream filling, buttercream frosting. The seashells are gumpaste, and the fish are actual fishing lures. The gumpaste ones I made were too heavy! It was my first time attempting to airbrush. I was nervous about it, but pretty happy with how it turned out!

Wedding Shower Cupcakes
These are chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream frosting and melted chocolate monograms on the tops. (There were also yellow cake with chocolate frosting) I also hand-tied 150 grosgrain ribbon bows and hot glued them to the cupcake wrappers. Very fun to do, and the bride & groom loved them!

John Deere Tractor
I made this for my father-in-law's birthday. (My in-laws live on a farm) Inspired by Boween's great tractor cake. WASC cake, buttercream icing, fondant accent pieces. Next time I'll use a loaf pan instead of carving from a sheet! The back tires are 4" cakes, the front tires I cut from the sheet using a cup as a cutter, and the trailer tires are made of fondant. I'm not sure why the icing looks like it's cracked in the photo. This one was lots of fun to make!

Candy!
I made this for a little boy's 5th birthday. He wanted a "candy cake". If nobody at this party develops a cavity, it will be a miracle! Bottom layer is a 12 inch hexagon, yellow cake with chocolate buttercream filling and chocolate icing, middle is 8" round chocolate cake with cookies & cream filling and buttercream icing, and top is a 6" hexagon yellow cake with chocolate buttercream filling and buttercream icing. All of the decorations are candy - Twizzlers, Sweet Tarts, Laffy Taffy, Skittles, etc.

John Deere Tractor Cake
Thanks to Cambo for her tractor cake photo! This was for a little boy's John Deere party. The mother wanted to have it all in fondant but pay the buttercream price. . . hence it's done in buttercream! The tractor is a plastic toy. All buttercream icing and decorations. Lots of fun to make!
