Groom's cake: Neck is fondant with a wooden dowel imbedded in it so it would not sag. Other than that, it is totally eatable. The components are all fondant and the strings are two sizes of pasta. This was my first attempt at airbrushing a cake. (Did a couple practice pieces before I tackled the actual cake).

Besides Dorothy, the lion, the scarecrow and the tinman, (from the first book) she also asked for Ozma, Tik-tok, Jack Pumpkinhead, the Saw Horse and the Patchwork Girl. The characters look a bit different from the movie version, they are based on the illustrations in the original books. All decorations are made of fondant and completely edible.

Snowman Snow Globe

I liked my first snow globe made last week, so I decided to do another for the next Christmas party and just change the theme. I love snowmen and they are relatively easy in fondant, so that's what I did. Fun cake to make!

Sand is cookie crumbs, with chocolate shells. Scales are fondant cut out with large piping tips, the each is flattened with the ball fondant tool and placed on one at a time. (all 1537 of them!)

Stripped Bass

This was made for a bride who wanted a stripped bass for her groom's cake. I used a #12 piping tip as a cookie cutter to make the scales out of fondant rolled out very thin. There are approximately 800 scales each attached individually. It took a long time, but the effect was what I wanted.
