Fall Leaves
Gumpaste leaves that I did for a wedding cake. These are the first leaves I've made and I was so happy with how they turned out. I did not have a veiner, so I used a toothpick to vein them. I dusted them with a variety of color dusts and topped it off with a gold luster dust and then I steamed them to set the colors.

Spring Hill Reunion
I made this cake for a reunion for a church I went to when I was younger. I used the "A Better White Scratch" cake recipe and Buttercream Dream for the icing. I used the Wilton Canned Icing (stiff consistency) for the Roses. This is my first time doing scrolls. I started on the left and worked my way right. Can you tell? The ones on the right are a little "bolder" and larger. I got inspiration from cakes on here, though no specific one.

Retirement Cake
Made for a retirement at my work. Piping Gel Transfer all Buttercream. I wasn't happy that my I let the turtle crust before I could smooth him better. Everyone at work said that it made look rough like a real turtle would have. 11x15 devil's food. I still have a hard time with my icing picking up choc cake crumbs! :( I will post an up close of the turtle. This is the Snapper (mower) turtle logo.

My Birthday Cake - Power Puff Girls
Piping Gel Transfer, all Buttercream. Please ignore the writing. It looked silly without any words on it, so I stuck that on just so you could tell it was a b-day cake. This was my first Gel Transfer. Was pretty easy. Blossom is my fav PPG and Orange is my fav color, thus the border color. I am very proud of this cake.

Luau Group Birthday Cake
I did this cake for a girl I work with. They celebrated 3 birthdays and had a luau with a pig in the ground and all! It was for her husband, her MIL and a friend. 11x15 2 layer all buttercream with a 2 layer 6 in round for the beach with blue cake sparkles on the blue icing. Inspired by Wilton's cake and a cake that I saw on here by gilpnh. This was my first paid cake after my Course 3 class in August.
