Grandson's 1St Birthday

I let this cake get way too busy. It would have been better to keep it more simple. I just got carried away! BC icing with fondant any RI accents. Thanks for looking.

Mikaela's Birthday Cake

I made this for my niece's 11th Birthday. Her request was to have a cake with a bow. She was very pleased. Thanks to sugarshack for the bow design.

Heart Birthday Cake

I just finished this cake for a co-workers Birthday tomorrow. This is my first fondant bow. Thanks to everyone who answered my cry for help and a special thanks to Tiggy2 for suggesting using wet fondant in the center to hold the bow together. Also thanks to Boween. I used a picture of one of her cakes as a sample for the bow. Feel free to critique! I am very open to constructive criticism. Thanks for looking.

50Th Birthday

This was a quick Birthday cake for my Boss who turns 50 tomorrow. I forgot to take a picture before I put the cake in the box! I got the idea for the edible image from Mailbox News, but can't remember who to give credit for it. Sorry!

Boots Birthday Cake

I made this for my Great Nephew who is turning 4. He is a big boots fan. Chocolate Cake, BC Icing, and fondant stars with edible image of Boots.

Chicken Little/john Deere Birthday Cake

I made this cake for my Grandson's 4th Birthday. The animals are modeled fondant. Cake is 11x15 chocolate with bc icing.

Sudoku

8" square, white almond cake with strawberry bc filling. A special thanks to Derby and Edibleart for allowing me to use their design. This cake was for someone addicted to sudoku!

Baby Shower

The theme of the baby shower is "Leap Froggy". Design is taken from the "Leap Froggy" quilt from JC Penny. White Almond Cake, strawberry bc filling, BC Icing.

Halloween Cake

I put this together quickly this afternoon. I needed something for work tomorrow and happened to have 2 6" layers in the freezer. The witch I make a couple of weeks ago. I was going to make a broom for her, but never got around to it, so I'm just going to get a piece of candy corn and put in her hands.

Boss's Day

I am extremely disappointed, but decided to post anyhow. I'm satisfied with the topper, but hate the cake. I prefer bc icing that is mostly butter and know that I can't get it perfectly smooth, but this cake is a mess. I could have done more to try to improve it, but I've given up. Oh well, it's the thought that counts. I know it will taste good. Almond cake with strawberry bc filling, and bc icing.

Husband's Car Cake

I finally finished. I posted a picture of the topper earlier, but thought I would also post the completed cake. Lemon cake, BC icing, topper made from combination Wilton/MMF.

I just delivered this cake to my friend this afternoon. Her son's 16th Birthday is this week and he is a real golf nut! 9x13 white cake with buttercream icing and fondant figures. Special thanks to Aine2, Boween, and all of the great golf cakes posted on this forum!

Children's Day

I just finish and am I glad. Lemon cake with BC icing. No matter how hard I tried BC didn't want to smooth and then my writing on side was terrible and I had to take it off and redo and it really messed the side up.

I made this cake for my sister to take to work. It just had to have a fish theme. It is a 12" round, almond cake with strawberry bc filling and iced in buttercream. The accents are fish and chocolate transfers.

This will be on the top of a cake I am making next week. The cake will be decorated with Chocolate transfers and fondant accents (fish)

Lemon cake with IMBC. Bunny and basket made from fondant. Flowers are royal icing. This isn't my favorite cake, but making the bunny was fun.

My Boss asked me to make a cake for her husband who is turning 60. He is an avid golfer. I hope he likes it! It is a lemon cake with IMBC and Chocolate transfer.

Lauren's Birthday Cake

I had previously posted this picture in Feb. but it was too small to be able to see the detail. I have tried resizing it. The cake was made for my neice's birthday. She belongs to the Junior Vol. Fire Dept. in her town. This was my first stacked cake. The cake was iced in buttercream. Figures are fondant and gumpaste.

Maxine Birthday Cake

This cake is very similar to another Maxine cake I posted earlier this week. I made 2 chocolate transfers in case one broke, and since they both survived, I decided to make 2 cakes. The first one was just a cake to take to work and the one I was actually making the transfers for is this birthday cake for a friend.

Maxine

This is a cake I made for work. It is a lemon cake with IMBC and a chocolate transfer. I look for any excuse to practice decorating! My writing leaves alot to be desired, but it's starting to improve slightly! I have a co-worker that must say the word stupid at least 25 times a day and I thought this would be fun.

Dscn0276.jpg

This was my first square cake. I need practice on getting my corners sharp. The cake is iced in IMBC with fondant accentes. I seem to have more trouble getting IMBC smooth than I do BC. I know it takes practice. I've read all of the helpful hints on CC and have tried everything, but can't seem to master smooth icing. I'm hoping it will get better with time.

This is just a practice cake to give me an idea of what I want to do for a friend's baby shower on March 4th. I had an extra 6" cake in the freezer and decided to play around with it today. My daughter just had a baby boy last Saturday, so I will take this cake to her tomorrow.

Tp Cruiser

This is a cake I made today to take to work for my co-workers birthday tomorrow. Lemon cake, with buttercream icing.

Elmo

I made this for my neice's first Birthday. Thanks to Piper for the inspiration for this cake. I am not very good at writing on cakes and the idea for fondant letter solved my problem!

Santa Cake

White almond cake, IMBC, with gumpaste figures and royal icing icecream cone trees. This was great fun to make.
