Steer Skull

I made this cake for the Second Annual Cakes for a Cause competition. The skull is made completely of cake and covered in fondant. The horns are Rice Krispie treats brushed with thinned royal icing, and the cacti are sugar cookies iced with royal icing. I got the idea from Collette Peters' birthday cake book. I'm really proud of the fact that everything, even the stands holding up the cookies, are edible. I won first place in the professional division!

Egg Basket

I made this cake for the Southern New Mexico State Fair. I used Sharon Zambito's tutorial for an Easter egg basket as inspiration. I was really happy with how it turned out. I airbrushed the board to look like gingham and made the eggs with candy melts and an egg shaped mold.

Swamp Thing

Inspired by Debbie Brown's book, "Gorgeous and Gruesome Cakes for Children." This was my first attempt at figure modeling, it was a lot of fun! I'm not sure why the picture is so small, but I hope everyone can still see it!

This is just something I threw together on a whim. TFL

Austrailian String Work

Wow, was this one time consuming! I love this look though. This was my first attempt at Australian string work, and I am more than happy with how it turned out! Can't wait to give it another try! Will have to let my hand rest a couple of days though!

Country Quilt

This is the cake I entered in the Southern New Mexico State Fair this year. Judging is this afternoon, so I'll have to edit this later to let y'all know how it did. Of course this design was inspired by the beautiful cake by Kitagirl, thank you! All fondant with gumpaste flowers.
