J & B Scotch Bottle Cake
This was my first 3-d carved cake. My friend wanted a birthday cake for her father-in-law's 60th birthday and decided on a giant bottle of scotch. It was a chocolate cake filled with cookies n cream and covered in fondant. I also made a figurine of the birthday boy and it looked just like him!! They put the figure on the cake with then got it to the restaurant. Thank you to amberhoney for the awesome inspiration! Enjoy!

Glitter Green Wedding Cake
I made this cake for my mom's best friend that got married at the court house. I wanted to give them a cake that they could cut into and celebrate with. I also wanted to try out glitter dust and I think I went a little crazy....I covered the whole cake in it. It was really pretty. Enjoy!!

Grandma's 90Th Birthday Family Tree
I took on the challenge of making our family tree for Grandma's 90th Birthday. I got the idea from Hello, Cupcake! There are 43 cupcakes on the tree and they are all different. I painted a tree on a large sheet of blue butcher paper and it really looked great. The ones that came out the best were the cupcakes of people that had distinct facial features. The only problem with the cupcakes were some poeple didn't want to eat themselves!! Enjoy!!

Love Bird Wedding Cake
I made this cake for my brother's wedding. They wanted something fun and nontraditional. I made cupcakes with B monograms for the guests but my brother and his bride got their own cake! It is a 7 in. round cake covered in fondant. They wanted a personalized wedding topper so I thought I would make the LOVE BIRDS....since that is their last name and the theme of the wedding. Enjoy!

Camo Army Tank Cake
I made this cake for a little boy's 7th birthday. He loves Army stuff so I made a camo cake with a tank on top. The 10 in. cake is covered in buttercream and the tank is a shaped rice crispy treat covered in fondant. The kids at the party loved the cake but really loved the gumpaste rocks...they were fighting for them. Enjoy!!

Rubber Ducky In A Tub
This cake was so fun to make. It's an 8 in. vanilla cake covered and filled with chocolate buttercream icing. The slats, or boards, were made of fondant, as well as, the bubbles. The water on the cake was iced with blue buttercream icing. The only things that were not edible on the cake were the rubber duckies. I was looking for ideas for baby shower cakes and found numerous rubber duckies in a tub on this site. Thanks to eor112 for the inspiration!!

Golf Cupcake
This is a chocolate cupcake with chocolate buttercream icing. I made these cupcakes to match a larger golf cake I did for a family friend. Everyone got a kick out of the mini green and flag. Once again I used a spaghetti noodle for the pole and gumpaste for the flag. The greens are just a cutout of green fondant. Enjoy!!
