Thomas The Tank Engine

9" round vanilla cake with strawberry filling and vanilla BC. This was a reproduction of Eva2's cake - my friend saw it and wanted it for her grandson's 4th birthday.

Zebra Print With Pink Bow

6" and 8" amaretto cake with amaretto BC and fondant decorations. It was a late request for a friend's SIL last week, I really pushed it on the bow and it shows.

Sports And Big City

City buildings are fondant with a little tylose power. The pieces on top are plastic picks and foam pieces attached to lollipop sticks. I would have loved more time to make the pieces on top, but it was a last minute request.

Good-Bye Suitcase Cake

Inspired by so many awesome cakes on CC! I wish I'd had more time to do more details, like buckles and straps, but I'm happy with how this turned out. I wrote the names of the 2 ladies leaving after the picture. Cake was amaretto with amaretto buttercream.

Thomas Meets Lightning Mcqueen

This is for my son's 3rd birthday today. Thanks to mandirombold for her help in determining how to cut the cakes to get the shape for this! I started with two 9-inch rounds, since we aren't having a big party and don't need much cake. I experimented a bit and used a stabilized whipped icing...and learned that's not a good idea when you want to decorate a cake with fondant pieces. LOL! Had to scrape off the bleeding fondant blacktop and train tracks and replace it with some leftover BC I had in the fridge. Not my neatest or best work, but my son loves it and that's what matters to me today. The cake is snickerdoodle (a doctored white cake mix) and is super yummy. TFL!

Hello Kitty Purse Cake

Chocolate purse with chocolate mousse filling on top of a vanilla cake. I'm still struggling with fondant - the bottom of the purse is awful - thank goodness for zebra stripes! I'm ready to try a different shape for the purse and to get more details - like zippers and buckles.

Pink And Black Zebra Stripe Purse With Anemone Flower

This is my second attempt at a purse cake and had some carving issues. My cake was just way too crumbly so I didn't get to carve as much as I'd planned. It's lumpy under the fondant in places and the details are not as clean as I'd like, but I learn with each one I do. The birthday girl was thrilled and totally surprised by the design which was all that matters. The cake itself is dark chocolate amaretto with chocolate mousse filling and amaretto chocolate BC, covered in Satin Ice. TFL!!

Backyard Bbq - With Grill And Apron

This was for our summer party at work. Backyard BBQ was the theme as we grilled burgers and dogs. I didn't have time to add utensils, but I was pretty happy with how it turned out. The sheetcake is 2 12x18s (one chocolate, one vanilla) put side by side and covered in vanilla BC and fondant apron. The grill and lid are chocolate cake - made in the Wilton sports ball pan - covered in fondant. Still getting used to working with fondant. Inspired by many grill cakes I've seen here on CC! Thanks.

Black And Red Purse

My first purse cake. It's more blocky than I'd like and it's missing a strap, but I wasn't sure exactly how I wanted to attach it...maybe I'll get to it tomorrow before it gets cut. The cake is peanut butter with ganache and peanut butter BC and covered in Satin Ice fondant. I painted it all with vodka to try to get it to look shiny, it was still drying when I took the picture. TFL! Pattie

Red And Black With Zebra Stripes

I made this cake to practice working with fondant since I've only covered a couple of cakes with it and to play with some new molds. The cake is a 6" square peanut butter with ganache and covered with Satin Ice buttercream fondant.

Baseball Cake (Using Ball Pan)

I finally had an excuse to by the Wilton ball pan when a friend asked me if I could make a baseball birthday cake that looked like a real ball. :D Both the ball and square cake are vanilla with vanilla BC frosting. Letters and other accents are fondant.
