Pink Zebra - 13
For my friend's niece. She found a picture she liked (don't know where) and I used that for inspiration. BC icing w/fondant accents. (I realized the numbers were crooked after I took the pic, but she's putting them on later anyhow, so hopefully they'll be straight for the party! lol!)

12Th Twilight Cake
Made this for a friend's daughter who is a HUGE Twilight fan. This was kind of a mixed-media project. The chess pieces and board are chocolate, as are the letters. The ribbon and flower are fondant, and the apple is a cake ball covered in fondant. Because I used whipped cream icing on this cake I had to mount the fondant pieces on chocolate bases. The girl LOVED it, and was practically speechless when she saw it...that is the best part!!!
