Fire Fighter Combo!
Inspired by Shayesmomma and mom2twogrlz helmet/hose cake - THANK YOU to both of you!!!!! Made this cake for a friend who was just accepted into the Waterloo Fire Dept. I couldn't decide between the 3 designs, so I just made all 3, even though we didn't need nearly that much cake!! Alternating chocolate and vanilla layers with whipped cookies and cream filling. Iced in SMBC and covered in MMF. Red Fondant is Duff's - tried it for the first time because I didn't want to make that much red fondant - GREAT colour - different to work with, but not bad at all! Waterloo Fire Rescue badge is hand drawn on rice paper over fondant. Ladders are chocolate. TFL!!!!

Dad's 60Th Birthday Bbq Cake!
This cake was inspired by CC member kbrockmann 's BBQ Cake. It didn't come out the way I envisioned, as I really ran out of time - but he loved it!! I stopped to buy some Oreo Cakesters for the wheels on the way to the party (REALLY ran out of time!) The BBQ theme was ribfest / pigs, hence the little piggy underneath. White cake iced and filled in SMBC and covered in MMF. TFL!

Elmo!!
Elmo marble WASC filled with whipped vanilla pudding and iced in BC. MMF Accents. Elmo's head and arms are RKT, body is cake. Tried something new with the little characters - I used fondant in the character's body colour as a base, outlined the character and coloured in the rest of the pic in chocolate, then attached and steamed to melt the chocolate to the fondant. Ummmmm, probably not worth the effect, but it worked! Thanks for looking.
