Cake For Mom's 80Th Birthday
I made lemon cake with raspberry SMBC for my Mom's 80th birthday. She loves hummingbirds, butterflies and flowers so I decided to get creative with the buttercream flowers, I made the butterflies out of gelatin and I made the hummingbird out of gumpaste. She was very happy.

Mady's Sweet 16
Birthday cake for my niece's sweet sixteen. Chocolate and vanilla cakes covered in buttercream with fondant accents. This was my first time doing chevrons, which were not easy. Letters for name and numbers on top were made from gumpaste using clay gun and freehanded them and allowed to dry before placing them on cake. Everyone loved it.

Pharmacy Graduation
This was my first time to make a book cake. It was for a girl graduating from pharmacy school so I tried to incorporate some pharmacy elements into it. I got the Sharon Zambito "Book Smarts" DVD on how to make a book cake. It is an excellent DVD and I would definately recommend it to anyone who wants to make a book cake. The cake turned out okay for my first time but I hope the next one turns out better.

Dirt Bike Cake
This is for a little boy turning 3 as you can tell from the pictures. He loves dirt bike racing and orange. The checkered pattern on the sides of the cake was handpainted on MMF. The water is piping gel and blue food coloring. Gator is MMF, I just had to throw the gator in, what little boy wouldn't love that? The dirt bikes were purchased toys, jumps are cupcakes covered in buttercream. Rocks and dam are fondant textured with cobblestone impression mat.

Elmo Birthday Cake
Elmo made out of rice crispy treats. I followed the Elmo tutorial on canadacakes.com This was my first time making Elmo and it wasn't that hard to do. Elmo is covered in royal icing, again my first time doing that. I think next time I will try with using my decorator icing. Cake is covered in MMF.
