Stripes And Dots Graduation
I love it when someone says, "Do whatever you want." I had fun coming up with this one for my friend's graduation from nursing school. For the top, I mounted photos of her and her family on white card stock and glued them to white balloon sticks. I printed her in color since she's the main event, and did her family in black and white. I placed them beneath her to signify their role as her support system as finishing school is rarely something someone can do alone.

Spaghetti And Meatballs
I got this idea from the book, "Hello, Cupcake!" Instead of making a cupcake "cake," I used a 1-layer chocolate cake, tinted cream cheese icing to a pasta-looking color, and then topped it with chocolate truffle candies for meatballs and cherry pie filling that had been beaten to look like spaghetti sauce. To top it off, you can grate white chocolate on top to look like cheese, but I skipped this last step due to time constraints. This cake was a hit. It was funny, and it tasted very good.

Fall-Colored Roses Wedding Cake
I made this for my last night of the Wilton Level 3 class last night. It turned out pretty good for a first-timer, but I learned a lot of valuable lessons with this one including proper methods of transport. It tipped over in my car! Luckily, it was wrapped up in a garbage bag and it had nowhere to go besides to the breakroom at work to feed my hungry co-workers on a Tuesday morning. :o)
