Build A Bear
My niece wanted a Build-A-Bear Workshop cake for her birthday this year. The walls, stuffing machine, and computer desks are made of graham crackers and fondant. All other items are made from fondant. Everything is edible except the small boxes and the plastic on the stuffing machine. The frosting is boiled frosting and I did not get it very smooth. Should have used buttercream instead. Need to work on frosting techniques. I prefer to use fondant over entire cake, but kids do not seem to like it.

50Th Birthday Cake
This is a cake I made for my brother's 50th B'day. My neice would not let me do the usual "over the hill" cake. Wanted cheery. My brother told her stories of growing up and going to a friend's cabin with a snake island. Don't laugh! my brother & his friend were actually thin boys. Cake is made of fondant & pond is made of gelatin. Caution!!! Fondant will melt when it comes in contact with fondant.

Webkinz Birthday Cake
Last year I made my Niece a Little Pet Shop cake and used her characters. This year she wanted a Webkinz cake, and I could not find any small characters to use, so I bought a clay character book and made Webkinz out of fondant (I love this stuff). I covered the cake with Toba Garrett's recipe from CakeCentral and used store bought fondant for everything else. Everything on the cake is made from fondant and the swimming pool is filled with gelatin. Her birthday is tomorrow, and I do hope she loves it.
