Mermaid Cake!!
Made this for my kid's 3rd birthday. She wanted a mermaid cake. Mermaid is barbie dressed and the sea creatures are chocolates made using candy mold. I am not a professional decorator so don't have lot of tools. I wish I had the pens to write on her bra instead of the brush which got smudged. Thanks for looking.

Elmo Cake
This was a last minute request from a friend. She wanted a small cake for her daughter's birthday on her birthday. Party is not till next month. She asked me if I could make an elmo cake. Initially I had planned on making elmo and cookie monster figurines, but the models didn't dry and lost the shape. Elmo is fondant cut and put together with black icing. The rest of numbers, letters are fondant. Pistachio cardamom cake with cream cheese frosting baked in 10" square cake pan and filled with mixture of chocolate cream cheese icing and coconut. Thanks for looking.

Fishing Birthday Cake
Made this for my boss's birthday who loves fishing. I tried to copy ByTheSlice's cake without much success. Cream cheese icing made with fat free cream cheese is so hard to even spread let alone smooth. Coconut cake filled with chocolate truffle filling and iced with cream cheese icing. Fish head was made with rice crispy treats covered with MMF and painted. Tail is all fondant. My boss loved it.

4Th Of July, Independence Day Cake!!
My husband wanted to take to work a cake for 4th of July. I had made a cake last year and everyone was asking him for one this time too. Caramel cake with chocolate truffle filling and buttercream frosting. 8 X 3 size. I think my firework looks like spiders or some bugs, not really happy with that part. Three sides say Happy, Independence, day and the other side has small fireworks. Comment welcome.

Birthday Cake
Whatever can go wrong went wrong with this cake. I am no expert, but the frosting had issues, first time making cake balls and that was not so good. Cheesecake filling didn't work out. Overall, a cake disaster for me with this one. Banana cake with caramel filling and chocolate cream cheese icing. My husband asked me to make this for his colleague's birthday.

Pooh Cake
My First Tiered cake (except for wilton course III where I used the pillars). The toys kept on falling and I couldn't smooth the icing since I had already piped the details. Hats on the toys were gumpaste. Flowers are royal icing flowers. Had lots of fun doing this cake. This was for my 2 year old's birthday party. She loves pooh, rabbit.

Dora Cake, Volcano, Bouncing Ball
Made this for my four year old daughter's birthday. She wanted a Dora cake and when I was watching Dora with her one day, I saw bouncing ball adventure episode. Came up with this. Two cakes put together coconut and chocolate cake. There wasn't space for me to put the mucky mud pit before the bridge. Bridge made out of royal icing. Volcano is rice crispy treat covered in fondant. Ice cream cup trees, made gumpaste balls and stuck them through the wire to make the ball erupting scene. It was a hit at the party. Please comment. I started learning cake decorating so that I can make my two kids' birthday cakes. I am not a professional.
