Grandma's 80Th Birthday Cake
Made for my Grandma's 80th birthday. I'm from dry El Paso, so the humidity of Dallas threw me for a loop! I'm not that good at writing (either in pen or icing, lol) but I literally had to do the border and writing in two minutes as we flew out the hotel room door (yes, I made it in a hotel room) cause my Dad was complaining about us spending all our time there, lol. So it's not the prettiest piping, but it made my Grandma happy, and that was why I did it.

Golf And Chess Cake
My Dad & DH's birthdays are 6 days apart, and I had to find a way to combine their individual interests and favorite cake flavors into one cake. This is what I came up with; the top (for Dad) is Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese icing, with fondant green, golf balls, putter and flag, the bottom (for DH) is yellow cake w/ chocolate frosting and the chess board and pieces are candy melts in Minnesota Vikings Colors.

Swimming Pool Birthday Cake
I made this in 2003 for my husband; he has his own pool building company, and, at the time, had just started using a new(er) form of decorative cement covering, which I mimicked with candy melts. The stones are candy melts as well. The "pool" is a 11x15 and the "spa" is the small petal pan. I believe all icing is store bought.
