Brony Ethereal Cake
From the Illusions of Grandeur cake collaboration: I had so much fun working on this cake for the collab. I've been wanting to do a Brony cake for some time. This double barrel cake has goldfish cracker filling. The hand sculpted Rainbow Dash topper is made of marshmallow fluff and sugar free gummy bears. The sides are hand painted with gel colors. Thanks for looking!

Mustang Mach 1 Toy Car
This was my contribution a Mustang Mach 1 1st edition toy car in its original packaging. I decided on this design after seeing my son playing with his Hot Wheel cars. I wasn’t sure if I could pull off the gelatin packaging. The toy car is chocolate cake covered in fondant and hand painted. The car is on a base that is attached vertically to the backboard.The board is foamcore covered in fondant. I did a combination of hand painting, airbrushing, edible images, and stenciling to create the packaging board. There is also a stand that props the cake up vertically at a small angle.

Special thanks to Sharon Spradley from Curiaussiety Custom Cakes for making this project happen. #revheads - Mike Guerrero of Mad Mike’s Cakes

Holiday Mater Cake
Before I explain the cake. I want to tell you the story behind this cake. A 2year old little boy was recently diagnosed with B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). A friend of the family, was looking for someone to make a special cake to brighten the little boy's day. She said he loves cake and loves Mater. On Christmas Eve (2012) he received his special cake. I donated my time and materials to make the cake. It took me about 8 hours to make Mater. Mater is a carved cake (4 layers) with gumpaste accents. The tires and hat are RK treats covered in fondant. This was my 3rd time using an airbrush. I luv my airbrush. The snow is piped icing covered with edible sugar and confectioners sugar. I even put an LED light on the back which you can see in the side view picture.

Game Of Thrones Baby Shower Cupcakes
I had a very interesting request. I was asked to make Game of Thrones cupcakes for a babyshower. I stumbled upon some awesome artwork by Renaud Forestié. His art depicted the Sigils from the show in a kid like style. The cupcake decorations are a representation of his designs in fondant. I use an hobby knife to cut each decoration.
