My Steampunk Wedding Cake
My wedding just so happens to be Steampunk, and in about one month- the perfect time to start my cake. I've scrambled to finish in time to upload my cake to be able to participate in this contest! The actual wedding cake will have one more tier- but that would spoil if I baked and decorated it just yet. The cake piping is royal icing and the figures and flowers are hand modeled from fondant. Everything is hand brushed and painted (except the blue and purple piped icing). I had a lot of fun with the design of this cake- it's very frilly and Victorian, while still being fun and tinkery- which to me is pure Steampunk. The blue and purple are for our birthstones, and the animals for the carousel (it revolves) are my favorite African animals because I'm living here in South Africa with my fiancé until July (we're moving to the US and having a second ceremony).

Pria's Birthday Cake
I made this cake for a friend of mine's birthday. She doesn't like cake, so I made a 'chocolate box' and put her favorite chocolates on top of the cake, with a fondant 'box lid' cover. The cake is covered in fondant with fondant ruffles and I hand painted the flowers onto the cake using gel food coloring.

Ilse's 40Th Birthday Cake
Ilse had a hippy theme for her party, and I've been having a lot of fun making cakes recently so I offered to make her birthday cake- I wanted to play with sculpting people, as well as marbling. The people are all sculpted from fondant, the van is a small cake covered with fondant, and I've added royal icing accents. It was a fun cake and turned out well I think :)

Lego Batman Cake
This is my first cake- not only baking from scratch but also I had never used fondant before. It's vanilla sponge cake with butter cream, and fondant. The car is sculpted from cake, and all the decorations are fondant. I painted the details using food coloring. Thanks for any suggestions as I'm very new at this.
