Mario Groom's Cake
This was a suprise groom's cake I made for my husband at our wedding. He almost ruined the surprise by not going to work while I needed him to so I could finish it....nedless to say myself and a wonderful wonderful woman who has done cakes herself stayed up all night the night before to get it done. Couldn't have done it without her! This was my first time doing anything like this.....and with all the problems, it turned out ok. I expected it to have more detail....but my lovely husband kept that from happening - He WAS surprised though!!!

Brown Roses And Cream Calla Lilies
These are the flowers that I made for my own wedding cake. First time ever making or using gumpaste. I loved doing them and this is what got me into caking!! I DID NOT make the cakes that the flowers are on. I had never done this before and was already making a grooms cake, not knowing completly what I was doing so I just did what I could do ahead of time and know it would be right....the flowers!

Nascar - Tony Stewart
Made for my dad on his birthday! Carved from 3 9"x13" chocolate and vanilla cakes (stacked). Covered with chocolate buttercream and mmf. Wording is piped royal icing. I suck at piping and was worried about doing it on the cake. I since have gotten much better at the royal icing (although I still do not put it directly on the cakes!) This was my 2nd fondant cake and first 3-d carved.

Hannah Montana Guitar
Base of guitar is sculpted from a 12" chocolate square cake, and the neck is sculpted from a 9"x13" french vanilla cake. All decorations are gumpaste and fondant except the strings. If I would have had more time I would have made them edible but this worked really well. The color is off in the photos but in real life was spot on!

Princess
5" and 9" french vanilla cake with strawberry filling. Covered in buttercream with fondant decorations. Wand and tiara made from gumpaste. I had issues, for the first time, with buttercream "blowouts"....Thankfully I was still awake at 3 am when the bubbles atarted to grow and was able to completly fix them....but as I was putting it in the car, the one on the top tier showed up and was unfixable due to the crusted buttercream :(. The room was very dark and no one noticed/cared!!
