Garden Party
For my little girl's second birthday... a garden party. This was a 15" round cake with a 3 layered 6" round on top. Fondant covered with gum paste "fence" and royal icing details. The flowers are wilton's premade colored fondant. They sell brilliant colors that are hard to achieve at home. ENJOY!

Anniversary Roses
This couple wanted red roses - so I fashioned these from gumpaste. Getting this red color was a chore and gum paste gets sticky with that much food coloring in it - so you have to add more sugar and be careful. I think they turned out well all in all. The rest of the cake was fondant and a royal icing monogram. ENJOY!

Sleeping Beauty
Bottom tier is covered in MMF with Royal Icing piping and silver dragees. Sleeping Beauty is a 2" layer of styrofoam, then two 6"by 3" layers of cake - then a 6" half-ball cake all stacked on top of one another - then I carved the cakes to the shape of her dress. Then I cut a hole through the middle and put in the entire barbie doll (legs and all). I then decorated with fondant (dress), gumpaste (lapel) , royal icing and dragees. WHEW! This was fun to make but a little tricky! :) :) ENJOY!

Lightning Mcqueen
This was for an 8 year old boy's birthday. Lightning McQueen (from Disney's "Cars") was a yellow cake with my special whipped buttercream (use heavy whipping cream instead of water and whip it for about 10 min), homemade marshmallow fondant and gumpaste/royal icing details. The car was carved by hand - I think cakes turn out best when carved by hand. THANKS!!! ENJOY!!!
