Chocolate Lace
Freehand chocolate lace covering cakes. 6, and 9 inch squares. Not sure where the original lace design is from (a bride brought in a picture, and this was based off of the cake made for that bride). Cakes are iced in Swiss Meringue Buttercream. Borders and lace are Dark Chocolate Ganache. Fall '08

Pink Paris Cake
Eiffel Tower is made from Royal Icing (a very long and painstaking process.) Cakes are covered with Marshmallow Fondant (MMF). Dots on the top tier, and pink stripes on the bottom tier are also MMF. Bows are dried MMF with Gum Tex added for stability. Black details are Royal icing. Everything is eddible. Fall '08

Road Kill Possum
This was a suprize for my friend's birthday. Got the idea from Jenn123's cake. My friend has a thing with possums...alive or dead! She loved the cake & told me she wanted a bigger one for her wedding (not engaged, lol)! It was red velvet inside, with cream cheese icing (used the spatula striping method with a grass tip for the fur). MMM for the head, feet, and tail. I used melted white chocolate and color dabbed all over the head and tail for added "fur." I'm really happy with it except the tire mark...

Split Level Heart And Squares
My first wedding cake. Done in the smallest kitched I've ever seen. All vegan white cake with lemmon filling. Ran out of time and supplies, oh well. I should have coverd the cake boards, and done the sweral design on the top layer too. The bottom design is a row of Ankhs (Ancient Egyptian hieroglyph meaning eternal life) make with tip 12 and Jordan Almonds. The bride (my best friend) didn't know what she wanted except green.

The Bump!
I made this for my SIL's baby shower. Used a standard sheet pan and trimmed half of the Wilton ball pan. Fondant body and dress. Cake crumbs for hair. I had already made 2 of these years before. Even won 2 blue ribbons in a mothers day amateur cake decorating contest, though there weren't many entrees, lol.

Waterfall Wedding Cake
My best friend decided that she just HAD to have a waterfall with REAL WATER on her cake. I said no at first of course, but after a professional cake decorator told me it was impossible I was committed to do it! lol. The cake was passion fruit/guava/papaya with pineapple filling and coconut BC, hence the tropical decorations.
