Hummingbird Orchid Cake
Orchids and tiny hummingbird's for a big birthday. Hummingbirds are gumpaste and made using Hawthorn Hills mould. Shiping to the US was fast! The birds beaks were made by wrapping 20 gauge wire in black floral tape, then inserting into the body before adding the bottom (tummy) part of the bird.

For a goodbye party. The guy is being promoted and moving to Spokane. Avid hunter, he's depicted shooting a deer here. After a 2ft carved cake "mountain" collapsed I came up with this new design.

Blue Design Wedding Cake
A full 40 hrs went into this baby. Humid weather was No help! Fondant cut shapes using different flower cutters for the design details to match a piece of fabric the bride had from Asia. I piped royal around some of the designs and handpainted it silver. The flowers were made with 3 petal rose cutters. All and all I am happy with the way this turned out and VERY glad it is over!

Spa Tote
Spa Tote cake made for my own daughter's spa party. 4 8" rounds, with 2 sides cut off (so it was rectangular with rounded sides). Stitching details added to each stripe and bad handle. Gum paste eye mask, slipper, and towel inside. I should have made the interior of the cake a dark shade to help the items inside stand out, but alas.... Also went a little overboard in shimmer spray :) She likes sparkly.

Crossword Puzzle
This cake was done to look like a table top with the clients favorite thing setting on top. Her family ordered this for her surprise 80th birthday. Crossword puzzle is hand drawn, with her date of birth as the date, on gumpaste. Cup is gumpaste, and after it had dried I filled it with melted chocolate and some liquid caramel sauce, then inserted steam. Looked like creamy coffee! The rosary isn't exact, but I tried to get in the main focus, strung onto real string. Puzzle pieces made with her 2 children's names and her husband who have all died.
