Candied Cup Cakes Cake Balls
These are actually oversized cake balls, made into candied cup cakes. Used a candy liner mold to make the bases, then coated the top with white chocolate candy and put a mini M&M on top for a cherry. They are turning out really cute and soooooo easy to make! Very time consuming though.

Pirate Cake On Cup Cake Cake Ocean
Pirate ship cake with decorations from a kit surrounded by cup cakes turned covered with buttercream frosting for the ocean. For a cub scout camp out tonight as cup cake cakes are easier to serve on a camp out, but we also wanted more than a "basic" cake for the boys.

Chocolate Cup Cake "cakes"
Used the silicone square cup cake cups to bake them, then put them on half a hershey chocolate bar and frosted up/down the sides with a #8 tip and then the tops in a square pattern. Royal icing flower on top. Essentially making mini cakes out of cup cakes and the chocolate bar allows people to pick them up to serve. Made these for teacher appreciation week luncheon.

Mini Cake Cup Cakes
Used the mini hearts cup cake pan. Baked cup cakes w/out the liners. Then frosted the sides using a #12 piping up and down in a zig zag pattern around the entire cup cakes. Layed them down in rows and pipped the top and added royal icing flower on top. For one of my dtr's friend's bday. Makes cup cakes more elegant :D

Another Hamburger & Fries Cake
Did another hamburger/fries cake, but this time, covered the bun in fondant and used cake sprinkles for sesame seeds. Also, did the fries with pound cake this time. Worked MUCH better for those (just baked them for another 10 min after I cut them to firm them up a bit). Still can't quite get the brown color on the bun right, but the over all look is definitely better with the fondant.

Cub Scouts Pinewood Derby 2010
Designed as a "trophy" cake. Car and base cake covered in fondant with fondant accents. Pillar center support covered in fondant. Forgot to cut a hole in the bottom of the car cake so it'd set flush on the pillar, so I put a rolled up non-skid liner under there (but the cake still cracked by the windshield). The boys didn't notice. They definitely enjoyed it. Car cup cakes on the base frosted in buttercream.

Fairy Doll Birthday Cake
One of Tinkerbell's friends doll cake. Dress is done in fondant leaves with royal icing flower accents. Fondant flowers and leaves on the cake. Rice paper butterflies with bodies piped with chocolate candy melts. The birthday girl LOVED her cake (this was my present to her as she's a close friend of my 7 y/o dtr and has always wanted a doll cake for her bday)

Strawberry Shortcake Meets Hello Kitty Birthday Cake
fondant covered cake with fondant accents. Flower are fondant as well. I put raw pasta inside the fondant flower stems to provide stability/rigidity for them to stand up. In hindsight, thicker pasta would've been a better choice, but it worked really well. Characters are toys.

Carnival Circus Theme'd Birthday Cake
Fondant with fondant accents. I love designing cakes like this. The "tent" on top was a bit of a challenge as the stacked 4" cakes I started with originally were not structurally sound. This one is from a tall cup cake. Covered in fondat while it was upside down, then did the top of the tent after the bottom of the tent had set up. For a 55th birthday party tonight.
