Camo 50Th Birthday Cake
I took 3 or 4 cakes from this site, and made my own design. Thanks for all of the ideas. I did this along with my other 3 cakes and 48 cupcakes that weekend. I was busy, but praise the Lord for the business. I bought the kit from Wal-Mart as I haven't tried the sculpting thing yet. The entire cake is piped in 16 stars. The creek is from blue bc and piping gel. The customer was pleased.

Rainbow Brite Birthday Cake
My daughter wanted this cake for her birthday along with a cabbage patch and cupcakes with candles for all of her friends to blow out with her. So I did 2 cakes and 48 cupcakes. She had a big party, and loved her cakes. You only turn 5 once. I think it's cool that she likes the same things that I did as a child.

Christmas Cake
I got the idea to do this style of a cake from a member here. They used different designs on theirs, and I added the snowflake free handed. I put the cake sparkles on it to make it look like it had a frost on it. The customer was very pleased with it. I know that I can always come to this site when I'm needing cake suggestions. Thanks

Snowman Carrot Cake
This is a carrot cake from scratch with cream cheese icing. His hat rim and scarf are from Twizlers, his eyes are dots, his nose is ice cream cone and his buttons were chocolate covered cherries. This cake was delicious! The hat was chocolate buttercream icing. It was carved out of 2 round pans. Got a request to do another one this weekend.

General Lee
I did the best I could on this, using the racecar pan. I did two of these on the same day, the brothers both wanted General Lee cars, so I did one white and the other chocolate. I had intended to take a picture of the 2 boys and put it on edible paper and make it look like they were looking out the window of the car, but I got a call for 2 more cakes due that same day, so I ran out of time.

Rubber Ducky Baby Shower Cake
This is a 1/2 sheet white cake with a 3D chocolate/pound cake on top of it. This was my first attempt with the 3D cake, there are 2 plastic rubber ducks on it, and the bubbles are made with thinned icing, and tip 21 ( I think). I used piping gel on the top to make it look like water. I had a lot of fun with this one. I took a couple of cakes that I had seen on here and incorporated my own ideas, and this is what I came up with.

First Horse Cake
This is the 3rd cake that I had due this weekend and I put a few of the horses that I made from cookies for the cookie order on the cake to decorate with, the customer brought a few pieces of stuff from home that I could use if I wanted to, so I decided to use it, and this is what I came up with. First time doing anything like this. This is a lot of fun.

Stained Glass Cross
This was a cake that I did for a pastor appreciation party that we had at out church. I knew it was missing something but I didn't realize what it was until Sunday morning when I was getting ready to leave for church, I didn't put a top border around my bottom 1/2 sheet. I carved the cross from 1/2 sheet cake, and tinted piping gel for the glass look.

Horse Scene Birthday Cake
This is the cake that I had asked for so many suggestions on. Thanks for all of your ideas, The lady ended up bringing me the pieces used on the cake and a blue ribbon that she wanted duplicated to go on it somehow. Since it was the girls 18th b-day then I put the 18 in place of the 1. Hope it doesn't make it look like she came in 18th place. I decided to use the plastic fence that she brought, the pitchfork,and the feeding pail, oh, can't forget the poop pile.Haybales are shredded wheat, horses are cookies

Shark Tales Cake
This is a picture of a cake that I did for a little boy who wanted a sharktales cake. I don't normally buy the kit but I made an exception on this one, I also didn't add all of the extras that it called for, I kept it simple, beings this was a very busy weekend and I had 4 orders. I'm just getting started and 4 orders due one weekend just about got me, not to mention the fact that I have a 2 and 4 yr old. Yeah, I'm busy! Hope you like the cake. It was definitely a quickie. The top is colored piping gel.

Halloween Birthday Cake
This is my modified version of this cake from the Wilton magazine, it was 3 layers, the top and bottom were chocolate, and the middle was a white cake, tinted orange, and it all had orange buttercream icing. The cookies were made along with the theme of the party, I ran out of time and didn't get to draw my eyes and fangs on the bats and the face on the cats. But the little boy was happy with his cake, and the guest really enjoyed it too. This one took about 1 full day to do with the cookies.

Patchwork Baby Shower Cake
I don't claim to be a pro, just a beginner, but I really like the look of the patchwork cakes. I've done these for birthdays, my dad turned 50 and I put a candle in each of the blocks, and I've used them for baby showers. I like the little favors in the blocks, I've also used candles that said BABY SHOWER in the middle of the cake, and those were really cute.

2Nd Wedding Cake
I was given a picture off of the modern Bride website and asked if I could do it. I thought that it looked simple but elegant so I took the job. Boy was I wrong. It took me weeks to figure out how to stamp the letterson it, and it was my 1st attempt with fondant, and stacked construction. The top was their monogrammed initials, the 2nd said Love and laughter, the 3rd said Happily ever after. Oh, and the bow, ended up not being edible, that was a disaster, but I only charged $150. I almost went in the hole.
