Baseball Theme
9x13 base with buttercream icing and grass tip. 9" round carved down to form the glove wit h buttercream icing. Baseball is from a small bowl that I baked in and carved a little to form the half ball, with buttercream icing. Dirt is graham crackers and bases I piped in the icing. I'm not completely happy with the glove, but I will do better if I do another one.

Mexican Food
9x13 cake covered in MMF. Chip bowl is 6" round and salsa bowl is from 6" round that I cut the center out of to make it smaller, both covered in MMF. Decorations are MMF except the chips are real chips. The taco meat is leftover chocolate cake crumbles. Margarita glass is plastic with piping gel and red sugar sprinkles mixed in to look like strawberry margarita.

Softball Cake
8" round with sides cut away to form field. This was a sugar free chocolate frosting and it turned out pretty thin. I was in a rush to do this one anyway. This was an experiment cake with some things, so it was just a freebie. MMF outfield, gumpaste bases and banner. The dirt is brown sugar ground up with leftover cake scraps and the lines on the field are splenda.

Winter Penguins
8" round two-layer with buttercream icing. Penguins are made out of gumpaste. Tree is ice cream cone with green icing piped on with leaf tip. I sprinkled a little powdered sugar on the tree and the white part of the cake. Thanks to dabear and Arty for inspiration from their penguin cakes!

Snowflakes
This was for a bridal shower. It is MMF that I didn't color, which ends up being off white (this angle makes it look even more off white than it was). I put the white shimmer dust all over it. The balls for the border on the top tier are MMF. Snowflakes are royal icing. The extra dots and border at the bottom are royal icing. This was my first stacked cake and first time making anything with royal icing. The snowflakes were definitely tricky and some broke, but I think with practice it can get better

Pizza
Half strawberry and half yellow cake. Strawberry puree with red colored icing. MMF toppings. The olives are MMF, but I used the red MMF and colored them with black icing color. The "cheese" is almond bark that I grated. I hollowed out the cake just a bit before I put everything on it. Got that idea from someone here.

Cheeseburger
The buns, cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes are all MMF. I cut and shaped them, trying to match to the size of the cake. The patty is chocolate cake. The ketchup is red icing that I thinned a little and "squirted" on using a Wilton condiment bottle. I just left what I didn't use sitting beside the finished cake to appear as the ketchup bottle. This turned out a little bigger than I wanted, but it was my first cheeseburger and 3-D cake, so I will do better if I ever make another one.
