This was a semi-repeat of my jungle cakeI made for my son last year. Everything is edible except for elephant's water spout and tree trunk which is a dowel covered in fondant. On the back of the cake I hand-painted the safari scene with airbrush paint colors which I prefer now over the paste! WASC cake with choc mousse filling and white chocolate buttercream covered in fondant. The lion was inspired by Lorraine McKay's tutorial. I made many different animal cuppie heads also not shown in pics. A lot of work! Had fun trying out my new airbrush machine for the sunset in the back! TFL!
I made this Monster High Cake for my best friend's daughter who turned 8. I tried to mimic the pattern that is seen in numerous pictures of monster high photos.

These were her fav colors. Top tier is a 6inch. Bottom is a 10inch. I made the curly beads popping out of the fondant roses just for something extra to try. Thanks so much for looking!! :)
I made this cake for a friend of mine's daughter getting married. This was the first time I made gumpaste/fondant people and it was by far the most difficult task I have taken on so far in regards to cake! She was a pretty red-head and he was blonde. I tried my best at sculpting their faces correctly, but I have never done it before so it took alot of patience! hehe I was told her dress was A-line, had beading and lace. I don't think the picture shows but she had lace print under the opening of the dress in the front. They were held together with wire and toothpicks. Everything was edible, except for the bike which was provided by my friend. This was a WASC cake with chocolate mousse filling and whitechocolate buttercream covered in black fondant. Both of the tire tiers are 10inches. I airbrushed the flames. Thanks so much for looking!!!!

My First Wedding Cake! This was for a friend of a friend on her big day! She requested black polka dots and fuscia ribbon. She didn't have the flowers on top at her reception, but I had a couple flowers and loved the look so I grabbed a picture beforehand, ;). This is a WASC flavored cake with a chocolate mousse filling and a buttercream frosting. No fondant at all. The black scrollwork and dots are royal icing. I can't even express the fright I had piping black royal frosting straight onto a white buttercream wedding cake!!! Eeeek!!

Hooray! I finally made a topsy turvy cake!! My best friend let me try it out for her son's 2nd birthday party because she loves and trusts me, lol! I was grateful because I wanted to try it out for a while now. It is covered in buttercream with fondant decor. Mickey is an edible image. I tried to make it look like he was holding his mickey hat up on the cake and trying to keep it from falling of the topsy cake. Hope it came out that way.

Was so scared to carve! haha Cake was a chocolate and vanilla pound cake (1st time trying pound cake) in alternating layers with a cookies and cream filling!!! Omgosh!

I made this cake for my daughter's great-grandfather turning 80. It was a 1950s theme. I really can't take all the credit because I had some really fantastic ideas from a couple people on here. I am so sorry, but I didn't write down the names, but thank you so much for all your inspiration. It was a little tough I thought coming up with a more masculine 50s theme, but gladly they liked it. My edible printer really came in handy for this one! I cheated, ;). The 80 are records. I hand-made the jukebox. Around the cake had a diner, drive-in, cadillac, milkshake, etc. Top tier was a devil's food cake with a bavarian cream filling. Bottom tier was a yellow flavor-enriched cake with a chocolate mousse filling. Buttercream with fondant decor. Thanks for looking, :)

Thank you so much CC for all of the amazing jungle cakes out there! You are all such an inspiration to me! TFL!!
Curious George Cake for my neighbor's son's 1st birthday! Curious George wanted to paint and draw on the cake for Gavin's birthday, but unfortunately he made a little mess.

Top tier had a bavarian cream filling and bottom tier had a chocolate mousse filling. Buttercream frosting with a fondant covering. George is an edible image on fondant glued with white chocolate. You can eat him like a lollipop. Brush, paint tubes, paint, bananas, sign made of fondant. I free-hand painted the handprints and drew the little pictures in between the diamonds.

A friend of mine's daughter is turning 18 and she gave me a theme of dance and zebra. When I think of dance, I think glitter, stars, sparkle, music, etc. This is a vanilla cake with chocolate mousse filling and buttercream with fondant accents. The wires were super annoying which was my fault because I didn't feel like making royal icing to hold them together in the straw. I am not so sure how I feel about this cake, but I hope she loves it! TFL! God Bless!!!
