"saw" Cake
The skull and saw blade are three seperate pieces of solid white chocolate that were glued together with more white chocolate and shaded with Luster Dust. The eyes were drilled out with a power drill to place the small LED lights. The black roses are also white chocolate. To make the blood, we used corn syrup colored with petal dust. The spider web was piped using royal icing drop strings. Unfortunately a childs finger found the web before i was able to get the pictures taken; parts of the web are broken.

Life Sized Guitar Cake
This is a replica of my best friends, son's guitar. His is metallic blue in color. lol, he was a great technical consultant for us on this cake. It was his suggestion to leave the strings off and write happy birthday on the pick-ups. The body is a chocolate sheet cake crumbcoated in b/c, no fancy flavors. The neck and headstock are rice krispy treats. Everything is covered in MMF. The neck was airbrushed black. We used a neon green gel color to shade the MMF. Thanks for looking!

Very Chocolate Grooms Drum Cake
This was almost a complete disaster. The fondant strips were too heavy for the chocolate ganache covering the cake. Last minute we decided to paint the edges of the drum on with super pearl luster dust. I woodburned the drumsticks the night before the wedding. The cake is 10" scratch chocolate cake using Nestle's recipe, and Emeril's chocolate ganache for the covering. The cake was crumb coated with rasberry flavored buttercream. Everyone LOVED the taste of this cake, super moist!

Topsy Turvy Wedding Cake
This design was inspired by KarenMichi. The layers are 12, 10, and 8. The top and bottom are yellow cake, with the middle being chocolate cake. All the tiers are frosted with Bavarian Cream flavored buttercream and covered in MMF. The only items on the cake that are not edible are the pearl stamens in the flowers, the topper, and the strings of pearls at the base of each tier. This is our first wedding cake and only the 3rd or 4th fondant cake we've ever done.
