Red Carpet Nursing

Going away cake for a beloved nurse. Film reel is gumpaste and has edible gelatin film on it. Clap board is gumpaste and was inspired by the invite. Awards were modified out of a chocolate mold. Found a template online for the nurse hat. 25 Duff's roses to represent 25 yrs of service. Stanchions are bamboo skewers, and the rope is gumpaste that I did with my extruder. Loved doing this cake!

Castle For The Birthday Ball

We had a princess dress up party for my daughter's 5th bday. Made the turrets out of gumpaste. Dried them on TP and paper towel rolls, but pulled them out before I assembled the cake. I put individual LED lights inside the bottom of each turret so that they glowed. "Stone" path is made of edible chocolate rocks. So much fun!!

Baby Boy On Safari!

Shower cake that was inspired by the nursery that has a safari theme. Lion was inspired by others I saw here and online...just had to wing him with an exacto knife and cutters I had on hand!

Beach Bound!

Flew this cake from Kansas City to Ft. Lauderdale (w/ a layover in ATL!), and it was my first wedding cake. Cake is totally inspired by cake_architect's Ivory Bliss cake...love that cake! I billowed the middle tier before we flew. The other 2 were only covered in MMF. I made the ruffled flower using a set of glass bowls that I found once we got to the condo, and then finished the bottom tier with the soft pleats. Didn't want to redo all of the decorating if the flight didn't go well!

Graduation!

My first go round with gelatin and I LOVE it! The honoree loved the look of some quilling I had done on another cake, so I tried a gelatin version. So fun! Used Fridge liners I found at Bed, Bath and Beyond. Super cheap and loved the look.
