Becky And Kerri's Office Shower Cake
This cake was for my daughter in law and a work mate, they had dual showers for their work friends and Reps. I was really disappointed in the icing....ugh! It was sooo humid, I should have used less butter....you can see each layer, there was even a huge bubble in the front, glad I was able to get that part smoothed out...wasc with a sugar cookie and buttercream filling in the middle...all decorations were fondant.

Jack's Mickey Mouse Birthday
This is the Mickey Mouse cake from the Wilton 2006 yearbook minus the chocolate head....after buying all the pans and supplies needed for the cake I found out the Mickey head pan has been retired!!!! Thanks to Spills for rescuing me and sending a Mickey picture as well as providing great tips , I ended up making it out of fondant and putting it on a cardboard cut out. Also, thanks to Cambo for her help, she's such an awesome person! I used carstock for the hands, you can see the white chocolate I used to attach to the arms...oh well, by that time I was just happy to be finished. I used summernoelle's WASC Chocolate Cake recipe for the body, omg, everyone raved over it, this will now be the chocolate cake recipe I'll use going forward. 14" bottom was WASC Wedding Cake, balloons were made with fondant. This was a fun cake once I got past the head issue, my Grandson absolutely loved it! Thanks for looking!

Carrot Cake
This is a carrot cake made for New Year's dinner. It's the first time I've tried the new Duncan Hines Decadent Carrot Cake, it is very tasty, I was pleasantly surprised! Icing is Cream Cheese Icing by Gegon, it's located in the recipes, very easy to make and good! I added crushed walnuts to the side. I'm in cake decorating burn out mode so this was easy to do and not time consuming. Thanks for looking and Happy New Years all!

90Th Birthday Cake
I'm not happy with this one ...one of those days when nothing goes right! The borders and curly ribbon were inspired from Cakery's wonderful designs. This is for my DIL's grandfather, a 12x18 sheet with the 90 carved from the small oval pans (Darn Good Chocolate Cake). I have to thank Stacey for the number templates, she was so helpful! Thanks for looking.

Spiderman
Here's my nephew's 4th birthday cake. I'm not really happy with the outcome but he loved it so that's what really matters? This was my first fbct, thanks to tippyad for all of the help she gave me and thanks to littlegrahamcracker for her inspiration, her version is awesome. Several things went wrong for me on this one....the fbct kind of fell apart when I was transferring it to the cake so I had to piece some of the hand together. The box top SMASHED part of the border and cake. tfl!

Buzz Lightyear
My great nephew wanted a Buzz cake so here is my effort, thanks to all CC cakes I got inspiration from. I feel like I cheated by using a Buzz figure, but after the attempt at the spaceship it just had to be... bottom is 1/2 sheet Chocolate Almond Sour Cream Wedding Cake recipe with buttecream icing, spaceship is the WASC covered in fondant (haven't done the fondant since the Wilton class as you can tell) details are fondant. Thanks for looking!
