Started with two 8x2 beveled cake pans as well as a 8x2 (torted and only used half of it) for the body. The head was two mini wonder molds and two mineballs (both trimmed). The ears, horns and tail were gumpaste and the legs were fondant. I used black airbrush paint to paint the spots.
This cake was 31inx8in. I started with a 11x15 torted it then cut the pieces in half and used that for the cake. We wanted the thiner more realistic look. It is iced in buttercream. The design was painted using airbrush colors and everything but the name was freehanded. The trucks are plastic and wooden dowels covered in gumpaste. And the wheels were molded from gumpaste.
Ghost Busters emblem is a FBCT. I did the back ground by smearing a little green icing on the white then lightly spreading it around. I got the idea from a recent-ish post from Doug I think. I made lemon curd and colored it green to give the cupcakes a 'slime' filling.
Gumpaste roses made with the FMM 5 petal cutters. I think they were 90mm for the full rose and like 70mm or 65mm for the buds. I used Saffron Cystral Color to do the coloring on the yellow gumpaste.
This was my first time using the FMM 5 petal rose cutters. I started with pale yellow fondant. I used a pink petal dust to tip the edges on two of them and peach on the others.
I made these using Nic Lodge's cutter's and embossers. My first attempt at gumpaste hydrangeas and I'm pretty happy with them. Making the flowers is alot easier than dusting them to give them the more realistic look.
Simple first birthday cake for a little girl. I used several different cutters and fondant to make the accents on this cake. I used a clay extruder to make her name.

Holiday themed cucpakes.
Not really a wedding cake, but again it didn't fit anywhere else. This is my second cake I took to the 2007 ICES convention. 12in, 8in and 5in. Black and white homemade fondant with Daisies. This was one of those cakes that started off as one thing and ended up as something else. My brother helped with ideas on it.
This isn't really a wedding cake, but it is a Whimsical cake, and doesn't really fit in anywhere else. This is one of my display cakes made for the 2007 ICES convention.
3 8in squares. Rice crispy treats were used for the towers.
This is another cake I did for a demo. It is fondant covered cake dummies, 6 and 10 in rounds. The roses and vines were piped in royal icing. I haven't decided if it is a finished cake or not, but hope to use it as a display at the store at some point.
This is a cake I did during a Demo at Michaels. I think the clowns are fun and impressive. I like to try to come up with different ways for them to 'sit' around the cakes.
This was done for my asst manager's 50th Birthday. Not an orginal idea but I felt it fit her. I really didn't want to do something morbid and she has a good sense of humor so I thought she would like it. The bra is made with gumpaste then airbrushed with bright pink color then burgandy luster dust.
Cupcake cake with a buttercream transfer. This was made for a FIsh Fry.
First attempt at a chocolate wrap and chocolate transfers (flowers).
This is another cake I did for a bake sale. It is a 6"x4" chocolate cake with caramel filling. White buttercream and a fondant turkey and pumpkins.
I took this picture with the Sunkist can so ya'll could see how big they were.
I've wanted to do a pumpkin with a face for a while, and decided I would try to carve the pumpkin as well. I used 2 6x2 rounds, 1 7x1 round and 1 8x3 round. I carved the face out of the icing and airbrushed it.
