Ladybugs And Butterflies Cupcake Bouquet
This was my first attempt at a cupcake bouquet. There was supposed to be two, but I didn't think to weight the pot and it was too top-heavy and fell over. I definitely learned a lot with this one and the mommy-to-be loved it. I think these would be great for Valentines Day or Mother's Day.

Austin's Elmo Cake
This was for my son's 2 year old birthday party. After I took this picture, the topsy turvy look collapsed and I had to restack and the piano was a bit crushed, but he still loved it. The piano was peanut butter and jelly, the TV was banana split, and the fishbowl was banana. The crayons were made out of chocolate. My son claimed the fishbowl for his own. Elmo was sculpted out of rice krispy treats, covered in chocolate, and I used the grass tip to make his hair with the red icing.

Jen's Birthday Cake
For a Glamour girl. Unfortunately, this cake did not make it to the birthday party without mishap (my first), but the birthday girl still loved it. My husband was dying to try some sugar work so he made the martini glasses out of isomalt. The birthday girl needed a high heel and some bling so I finally got to make my first shoe.

Kathy's Tree Stump
This was a fun and EASY cake to make! They wanted a small cake so I used two 8" and one 10" cakes and carved the 10" a bit. I used chocolate ganache to create the "bark". I loved making the fall leaves. The rake was a bit difficult while it was drying, but was happy with it once it was all done.

Diamonds And Pearls
My birthday cake. Oh did I have problems with this one! The bow didn't want to stay on. The rosettes kept sliding off. My fondant ripped after I start cutting off the excess. It was yummy though. Two tiers were orange/cherry marble cake with chocolate ganache and coconut filling and banana cake with dulce de leche filling.
