I made this last year for my daughter's Orchestra Banquet. The neck is not edible. It is a raw wood piece that I bought on eBay. I coated it with candy melts. I attached the ends of the strings with candy melts to small pieces of spaghetti. Attached one end to the candy melt coated neck, pulled them taught and stuck the spaghetti into the cake. You can see part of the spaghetti sticking out. I cut it off when we got to the venue. It worked beautifully! I was so happy with this cake and everyone loved it. I am making another one this year and have used candy melts and mold material I bought at Hobby Lobby to mold the scroll part of the neck .
My first attempt. Bottom tier is single layer 8" round. Attached petals then added the 6" cake and attached more petals to hide the bottom edge. I used 5 petal rose cutter and did not double the blossoms. It's OK for a first try. Petals were 1/2 and 1/2 fondant/gumpaste. Next time I would use all gumpaste or a larger ratio. They were more droopy than I would have liked. Thanks for looking.
I loved how this one turned out! So did my friend. 10" and 6"
SMBC, white chocolate shells, graham cracker & brown sugar sand. I loved this cake!
I was very happy with this cake! My 3rd wedding cake and probably my best cake ever! It was for a coworker?s sister, 16?, 14?, 10?, and 6? rounds. All of the flowers are silk and per the bride?s specifications ?all black.? DH helped me a lot. He is awesome!

I made this cake for the son of a friend of mine. I am so happy with it! DH helped me with this one. Hes so wonderful! Its from Star Wars, the Emperors Guard. Even though I love Star Wars, I never heard of these. TFL
BC with fondant accents. TFL!
My first try at making chocolate panels. Butterfly is a stencil. I tried my hand at making chocolate curls but ended up with shavings. Guess I need more practice. TFL
Not a 3-D cake but more of a 2 1/2-D! LOL! It is 3-2-1 layers of cake, with the "first floor" being 3 layers, 2nd floor 2 layers and top floor 1 layer. The roof pieces are chocolate. I wish I could have added more detail but it always takes me *forever* just to get the cake frosted and ready to decorate. I also wish it could have been "cleaner" but I think the rough look added to the spookiness. TFL
Simple cake for a friend. I was pretty happy with it. She loved it. Mission accomplished.
Diaper bag cake for baby shower at my office. Inspired by several cakes seen here on CC. I had to ask a lot of questions about this and thanks to all the help I am pretty happy with it. Everyone raved over it and the chef who catered the party took a picture of it! I was so flattered! Frosted with ganache and covered with fondant. Brown accents are candy clay. TFL!
Logo and other details cut out with my Cricut. Edible image on top. TFL
This was made following the techniques in Sugar Shack's Boxes & Bows DVD. For a first try, I think it came out pretty good!
Wii controllers covered in fondant, edible food markers used for the details. I couldnt get an edible image of the game cover, so I printed it out and laminated it and attached it to a plaque made with blue candy melts. It is supported by a skewer inserted at an angle into the cake and into the foam core cake board, like the back of a picture frame.
2-D R2D2. To get the cylinder shape I used 6 rounds cut in half. Head is ball pan. I am really happy with this cake. My friend loved it!
Everything except the stars are cut with my Cricut machine.
The sails are edible image to get the color and the skull and cross bones. My ei paper is kinda fibery, like rice paper. My hubby pretty much made the sails himself, so I can't really explain how he did it all. It is folded over dowels and burned with a torch. He is a keeper!
I don't think this is exactly "gross," but it does have a brain on it. For a birthday party at the Health and Science Museum. The beaker is RKT covered in fondant.
The images are edible images, fondant skate board, peace sign and diploma.
For a soldier coming home on his first leave from Iraq. I wish my stripes could have been neater, but I haven't done that many of these and I'm still figuring it out. Didn't have time to order a transfer sheet. But I actually kind of like that rough look. Chocolate on the board, too! TFL!
BC basket weave. Real grapes and wine bottles (single serve). Strawberries are molded candy melts. The lid and handle are foam core. I dinged up the side a bit trying to get place the handle, but I think it came out OK.
This cake kicked my butt! Silly me couldn't pass up a wedding cake so I agreed to do this cake. The wedding was the week end before Christmas. I have only done one other wedding cake (several years ago) so I was dying to do another! Of course, the bride wanted square cakes. I hate corners in the first place and all the tricks I know didn't work very well. My icing just didn't want to cooperate. I pulled an all-nighter on this baby. I was so glad when it was delivered and done! I bought the flowers from Pfeil & Holing.
Birthday girl is from New Orleans. The mask is fondant w/tylose added, molded over a plastic mask. I forgot to put anything on the mask and I thought the fondant was going to break, but after some delicate coaxing, it came off. Painted with luster dusts mixed with Everclear.
Simple design. Fondant bows, pearls and roses painted with silver luster dust.
Fondant embossed with rolling pin, letters are Tappit cutters. TFL!
