Salad Birthday Cake
Chocolate cake covered in fondant using wafer paper for lettuce, vanilla cake for croutons and fondant cheese. SInce this is being mailed frozuen from Massachusetts to Austin Tx I placed in a plastic salad bowl. Would have loved to put it in a glass bowl but couldn't take the chance of it breaking.

Family Christmas Cake
For the family Christmas cake, I decided to use it as an opportunity to practice making figures. I am determined to master faces. Used a tutorial by Georgia Ampelakiotou and it was a great help. Also used a tutorial by Avalon cakes for the wafer trees. Didn't curl it as much so I could get this look.

Drip Cake
My contribution for the dessert table for a family birthday party. Unfortunately that meant hubby didn’t get a birthday cake today. This is chocolate cake filled with cherries and mascarpone using a little of the mascarpone filling to crumb coat. Meringues were flavored with freeze dried strawberries since I couldn’t find cherries. Chocolate also has some freeze dried fruit.

My Brother's Birthday Cake
When I was trying to come up with ideas to make my brother cake something meaningful and special, I remembered some of the paintings he had done over the years. I got out my wafer paper and using pictures of his work I set out to replicate them. To be honest, I was not sure I could pull it off. Tried making a figure that resembled him and his dog. Best part was his reaction when he saw his cake!
