Elephant paradise By roadrunnerger
I really enjoyed making this cake that was inspired by a sketch that I found on the internet. It was a red velvet cake with dried cherries and a filling of amarena cherries and cream cheese frosting with rum and chocolate flakes. Both peanut and elephants are sculpted with almond paste. Thanks for looking.

As most of you probably know by now, RoadrunnerGER has been on my list of “ones to watch” for a while now. This adorable cake is a perfect example of why. RoadrunnerGER is always coming up with cake designs and figures that are so unexpected! This cake just makes me smile!

These gorgeous purple flowers by ModernLovers really pop off this black cake. I love the simple purple backdrop, which enhances the flowers but doesn’t compete for my attention.

This irresistible under-the-sea cake by jeshyk is a wonderful vacation from the frigid fall weather. Each adorable character has so much life and they make me feel a little warmer inside!

This turkey treat by RinaM is certainly ready to be the star of a Thanksgiving feast this upcoming week! I love the detail that went into each and every feather, from marbled colors to shimmery accents.
