Ladybug 1St Birthday

This was fun - I was so inspired by others on this site - kimistry, trisha1972 and charman all led me in the right direction. Thank you all! The cakes are strawberry with whipped raspberry filling. The smash cake worked just as it should have - the photos will be adorable.

Today's Practice Cake

Wanted to try the square corner method in the tutorial - not as easy as it looks! Lemon cake, lemon curd filling. The colors remind me of sherbet flavors - love them together.

Disaster Recovery!

I baked this while I was away for the weekend at Lake Tahoe (altitude 6500 feet). I'm not used to the high altitude cooking corrections. This was a disastrous crumbling mess, but my husband encouraged me to try to put it together with frosting. I had no idea it would work so well! Frosting really does cover a multitude of sins... Thanks to "ngerland" and to Martha Stewart for inspiration.

Shark Attack!

This was inspired by several cakes on this site - thanks ladies! Done for a co-worker's 2 year old - the whole party was cake inspired and so clever! When the kids ate this all their tongues were blue and they loved it.

Batman Bct

My son's birthday cake. This BCT gave me some fits - mixing 3 shades of blue/gray to get enough contrast, but not too much.. The good news? It was the best TASTING cake I've ever made! Doctored devils food with chocolate chips, chocolate mousse filling and white chocolate frosting. Chocolate suicide!

Wilton Baby Carriage

I also made 2 6" cakes, so my 2 co-workers could take these home to celebrate with their very pregnant wives, who weren't at the celebration we had for the guys at work.

Mom

I admit this was her b-day cake, but it seems to fit the theme. There's a story about the buttons - mom is a master seamstress and when I was a kid she could not stand to let me wear anything 'store bought' without at least changing the buttons. That's been a life theme for us - if nothing else works, at least try changing the buttons!

Wipeout!

The feet and surfboard are fondant - the "gummy shoes" in the right size were a serendipitious last minute find.

Mermaid Cake

This was for a co-worker's 6 year old "Little Mermaid" birthday party. This is the first cake I made for someone else - I just started cake decorating about 6 months ago and up to now it's been all practice. The small shells, starfish and pearls are handmade fondant painted with luster dust. The large shells are molded candy sitting on brown sugar sand. The treasure chest is graham crackers with chocolate basket weave. The seaweed is royal icing but everything else is buttercream. I had great fun!
