Mickey Mouse Clubhouse
I got this idea from a picture of one I saw online, I dont remember where. I made the the topper out of RK and it was my first time using RK. Thank goodness I read through previous posts here on RK if not It might have been a disaster. I learned A LOT doing this cake the most important: to dowel the body and the head all the way though to the bottom tier. I only did it through the top tier and it wobbled a lot.

Wedding
I made this for my friend as her gift. A LOT of lessons learned. This was my first Weddding cake and my first four tier cake! I would have made the bows beforehand and let them dry, it was a pain doing it the night before. My buttercream was way to soft and almost sagged on the bottom tier (only I could tell though) and I learned that its easier for me to first stack then frost. I frosted the second tier and tried to stack it and I made a mess.

Sunglasses
This cake gave me the worst neck ache ever! I made the glasses out of fondant and sprayed them w/ lacquer. After realizing I couldnt really paint over the lacquer I had to re-do the lenses. I hand painted the lenses (copied the invitation). It took me about an 1 1/2 to paint it and it just killed my neck..Now I know why artists use an easel!!

Fish Engagement Cake
I made this for my Engagement Party. I hand modeled the fish using edible modeling paste (next time I will use gumpaste). Other than the fact that the fondant cracked on me and again, another leaking cake..this cake was one of my favorites. I gave the girl fish green eyes like mine and the boy brown eyes like my fiancee

80Th Birthday Cake
I made this for my Grandmothers 80th Birthday. It had edible pictures on three sides (b/c I ran out!!). They were pictures of her throughout her life. The color scheme was brown and egg yellow so I made a brown bow out of fondant with a yellow 80 and yellow blossoms on the bottom of each tier. It doesnt look to hard but this cake gave me soooo much trouble The syrup I put in the cake was leaking through the tiers and cut through the fondant, I had to patch it all up with RI.
