Tank Cake
First cake for icing smiles! The little boy requested a military cake and expressed an interest in tanks so I decided to make the whole cake a tank. It is supposed to be an m1 Abrams. It's about 17x8 inches half chocolate half vanilla with Liz marek fondant and satin ice gumpaste. because the birthday boy can't have artificial dyes I used a tbl cocoa in the fondant to turn it beige. The wheels section is using artificial dyes but he can easily avoid. I used cocoa to dust the cake and give it that weathered sort of look. This was fun!

Mountain Biking Cake
Cake for a friend to replicate a particular rock on a nearby trail.12 inch and 9 inch cakes carved into the hill shape. Hard to get 26 inch long piece of fondant on to cover it but since it was a lumpy mountain perfection didn't matter! figures are gumpaste, disaster with them melting from humidity but I managed to save them. Thanks for looking !

Rainbow Dash
Gum paste rainbow dash. I used a toothpick in each leg then stuck into the Cloud then into foam. When firm I trimmed the bottom of the toothpicks and put a little extra white under the cloud so it could stand alone. Definitely had some sagging issues on the legs and it's lilting to one side but it's all a learning process right ;)
