Princess Cake
My inspiration came from the tutorial here on CC for the pillow cake. Cake is dark chocolate filled with malt ball buttercream. Tiara is made of gumpaste; which fell at one point on the tiara, and I didn't notice until it dried! Oh well, the customer LOVED it! Was my first pillow cake and tiara!

Christmas/birthday Cake
This was done for a Christmas party for our Sunday school class, a present cake for Jesus! White cake with white chocolate peppermint buttercream filling. The MMF gave me such trouble! I was planning on making a red and white mmf twist at the bottom, but it kept falling apart! I later realized (several hours later), that I put WAYYYYY to much shortening in my mmf when I made it!

Grave Stone
White cake covered in homemade MMF. Vanilla candy clay skull. I attempted to make it look worn, and covered in the stuff that usually is on very old grave stones, but my hand slipped twice. Once at the bottom, and once at the top. I was able to cover the bottom one with a black rose (bottom right hand corner), but the top was too big. Oh well, I enjoyed making it :).

Never Again...
Our church was having a "Ladies Night Out" dinner. I thought "How cute would it be to do teacup mini cakes?"...I started on the decorations a week in advance, to give myself plenty of time. I made the MMF the night before. The day of, I started cooking the cakes around 8am. When it was time to start filling and icing the cakes for fondant, the icing WOULD NOT stay on the cakes! Out of 48 mini cakes that I made, I was only able to fondant 12 of them, and that was a disaster as well, cause the fondant kept tearing at the bottom! Needless to say, at 5:40, I called my Mom (we were riding together), and said I wasn't bringing anything. I did put one together with some decorations, just to see what it might of looked like, and I cringed. Needless to say, I will not be making mini cakes again. One set was french vanilla cake with cappuccino icing. The other was dark chocolate fudge cake with mocha icing.

Butterflys And Ribbon Roses
I made this cake for a going away party for on of our beloved Sunday School teachers. I had asked her what her favorite colors are, and she said she loved fall colors. Bottom tier is chocolate cake with peanut butter cream/peanut butter chips. Top tier is strawberry cake with milk chocolate frosting. Covered in MMF. There was nothing left of the cake!

First Tiered Cake
My dh asked me to do this for a nurse that he works with. It was her last day and he wanted her to know how much he appriciated her. This thing took me 10 hours to make! The first cakes messed up because I used the wrong cake mix. I hated this cake, and don't like how it turned out. Maybe the next tiered one will turn out better. Used MMF.
