Jungle Taming Gardner
This is the second of three cakes for an anniversary (for the husband); and my favorite of the three. Chocolate cake. Covered in white fondant then airbrushed. Trowel was made of fondant several days in advance to dry, then airbrushed. Dirt is chocolate graham crackers. Lettering cut with Cricut.

Halloween Wedding
Cake is red velvet, each tier sets on 4" styrofoam, then the cake on top...the bride isn't a big cake fan, so she had a dessert bar, but wanted a tall/dramatic look for her pictures. 6" square, 10" round, 12" square tiers. Ivory fondant (worst batch of Satin Ice I've ever worked with!!!), and piped royal icing deco. Love the topper that the bride & groom picked out for their Halloween weekend ceremony!

Seabee Groom's Cake
The groom was a US Navy Seabee, so the bride wanted to surprise him with this cake. Worked out quite well...the groom ended up getting a Seabee tatoo the day before the wedding with his best man, so he was so thrilled when he saw the cake. Chocolate 8" round, airbrushed with the blue/black camo effect. Bee is made of RKT decorated in fondant, wings of white choc.

Martha Wedding
This was the biggest cake I have made to date. 18" round is Chocoloate, and I had quite a bit of difficulty covering that big of round with fondant, but after a few tries was happy with the outcome. The 14-10-6 rounds are red velvet. Each cake was on a 4" cake dummy, so with the the 4" square wooden base, the cake was about 32" high. The delivery was 3 hours, a bit nervewracking in heavy traffic, but once the cake was set up it turned out just as the bride had in mind.

Pharmacy Coat Grad
This is the second of two cakes ordered for a party for a customer who just graduated Pharmacy school. Choc cake with fresh fruit and choc ganache filling. Covered with fondant, fondant accents. The cake is big - 12" by 24". More cracking in the fondant that I am very unhappy with, but the overall design did turn out just as the customer wanted. The design was given to me by the customer, so thank you if this was your design originally!

Pharmacy Grad
This is one of two cakes ordered for a party celebrating a Pharmacy school graduate. Red Velvet cake covered with blue fondant, gumpaste details. Today was the first hot day of the year in our area, and I forgot how much fondant tends to crack and be more difficult to work with on a 90+ degree day, so there are cracks in the fondant that I am not happy with. A picture of a similar cake was provided to me by the customer, so thank you if your original cake was the inspiration!
