Hubby is turning 40 and I've never had time to make him a fancy shmancy cake. SO - here is his paddle tire cake for the big 4-0! It is made from 3, 12 inch rounds - about 6 inches high. The rim was made prior to completing the cake - I used a 6inch round cake pan turn upside down, dusted it with corn starch and laid my fondant on it, pressed it into the molding of the edge of the pan and onto the table, then used a pizza cutter to cut about 1/4 inch around the pan. I let that sucker dry for a few days. I also pre-made the bolts and air intake thingy. Once they were dry I aiirbrushed them silver. After assembling the cake and covering with fondant, I used the same 6 in cake pan as a guide to cut a hole in the center of the cake (it took a few tried to get the depth right). Then sunk the silver rim into the hole and made the paddles by cutting 8 5inchx1inch rectangles out of fondant mixed with tylose. I rounded the top/end corners and folded them into an "L" shape and glued them in the cake. Done!
The bottom tier is a dummy cake covered in black glitter. The middle tier has a ribbon around the base because I have 2 additional cake boards under the middle tier so that it would touch all the glitter. All decor is made with MMF.
Loved creating the cake for an artistic lady's 70th. She creates flowers from recycled materials and I was asked to try and recreate them with fondant. She also loves bees and anything ART. :) This cake was delish too! Espresso soaked vanilla cake, filled with mascarpone/kahlua filling, sprinkled with cocoa powder and topped with vanilla Italian Meringue Buttercream.

Made for a little girl who loves snakes! Head and tail tip are made from rice krispie treats. Coiled snake made from a 10" & 7" round with the tail being made from 1 10" round and 1 8" round. For the coiled snake: I carved 10" to look rounded and not perfectly round, then did the same for the 7", hollowing out the center a bit and using the hollowed out part to raise up a part of the round to give it depth. For the tail: Rounded the edges of each, cut a circle from the center and cut the whole cake in half, then rounded out the inside part (where you removed the circle from. I then pieced them together, sometimes cutting a semi circle in half to get a more relistic twisty/turny look. I covered the coiled part in one piece and the tail in many pieces, creating folds to cover up the edges. The head was placed on after and I used a pieced of fondant to blend and attach the head to the coiled snake part. The scales were made by using some stainless steel metal mesh I found at a hardware store. He was then hand painted in shades of egg yellow and yellow - diluted with vodka, with a light, light wash over the whole thing once it was done in a very light shade of yellow.
TNMT with sewer slime and pizza!
Everything is bigger in Texas! Big, MMF (with a bit of gum paste mixed in) ruffles with the edges painted silver for the gals, a big ol' gum paste belt buckle for the guys and top it all with a cowboy hat (rice krispie).
I guess, if you're going to be a phlebotomist, you've got to be OK with a little bit of blood. Everything is MMF. (I only wish I had an edible printer to create the blood bag label.)
Everything was done in MMF

It was an honor to create this cake for the Survivor's Dinner at University of Arizona's 2014 Relay for Life. The top is a gumpaste luminaria with a battery operated tea light inside, the rhinestone base is a cake dummy.
A group of 10 college friends, who called themselves "The Quint" were getting together for a Girls' Weekend and needed a cake to celebrate. The bottom tier reflects different parts of their college days - the brick was from the dorms they lived in at Rhodes, their sororities were represented as well as their old bars/hangouts. The top tier depicts the plan for the weekend - relaxing!
The top tier is a dummy cake. :)
