Lightening Mcqueen

My second big try at Fondant. After the Mater incident a few years ago and having to resort to faux yellow on my LPS cake, I decided to give it another try. Still trying to master it and deciding I should break down and take a class. : )

Summer Cake Photo

I saw a cake similar to this in one of the family magazines in 2005. I just thought it was so cute and my daughter just loved Teddy Grahams. It was my first attempt at cake carving and the water was blue jello! The trees, umbrella etc are Laffy Taffy (I had no clue about fondant's existance at the time) The sand is uh, smashed up ,teddy...graham crakers and you can't see it but there were sea creatures in the water too. I was so proud of this cake!

Rainbowlicious Cupcakes

Hmmm, not sure where I went wrong but these are soooooooo top heavy (w/o frosting)-- I baked them in my new Noricware Ice Cream Cone Cupcake Pan.. Right after I took this pic they tumbled like dominos. Thank you to the person with the Rainbowlicious recipe from here-- MacsMom!

Tow Mater

My son wanted a Tow Mater Cake. This was my first time working with Fondant. The little details were fun but I used way too much cocoa powder when rolling out Mater's covering. I was lucky it was Mater because looking worn out adds to his charm.

Littlest Pet Shop Inspired Monkey Cake

My daughter wanted a LPS Monkey Cake and I couldn't even find a coloring page with the Monkeys on it. So I ended up printing out a picture of a t-shirt with them on it, traced them to make a black and white copy and then made cardboard patterns to cut out of the fondant. The letters are Royal Icing and the yellow is buttercream.
