Idea from one of the Wilton Yearbooks. Covered in fondant. They wanted a three teired cake and only had 40 guests, so the top two tiers are styrofoam covered in fondant.

Topsy Turvy (In Action)

This was supposed to be my first paid topy turvy cake. Unfortunately, in the car it decided to live up to its name. The cake was three tiers, in the picture are two of them. I have totally shyed away from attempting this again - especially trying to transport it as one piece. If anyone has a good construction method for one, I would love to hear it! I think this new catergory is great! Wait until I upload my shipwreck!

June Wedding

This was my second wedding cake. It is cream cheese pound cake with buttercream filling and fondant. The striped border was hand piped at the bride's request. The small pink cake is a fruit cake I made 6 months ago. The flowers on the white cake are fresh, the flowers on the small cake are sugarpaste. The butterflies are edible.

For My Friends

This was a super small cake I made for my friends at an intimate gathering - it was a surprise. Chocolate cake with buttercream and strawberry filling and covered in tinted satin ice, flowers are painted with buttercream - I love that effect! I used the play dough fun factory for the rope - one of my favorite new cake toys!!

Buttercream - Side View

I am having a little trouble with the piping consistency of the dark chocolate buttercream. Any suggestions would be very helpful. I use the Wilton recipe for dark chocolate buttercream - extra Baker's chocolate.

Gross Bug Cake

This was a cake I made for my co-worker who just got approved to start an entomology lab. It's an airbrushed flesh fly complete with fondant wings, larvae, maggots, and eggs. The finishing touch was an edible image of a nasty set of jaws. I will post the front view.

Chocolate Buttercream Birthday

This cake was chocolate overload! Chocolate cake with chocolate ganache filling and chocolate buttercream icing - accented with dark chocolate swirls. This cake was fun to make. The three people on the cake vary greatly in age 8, 28, and 42 - and are male and female - so I tried to make it appropriate for all of them!

Thomas The Train

This was a cake for my cousion's 2nd birthday - hence the 2 on the cake instead of the normal 1. This was a fun cake to make - I need work on the wheels though - I saw some tips like using donuts - I will give that a try next time! He saw himself as the conductor and flipped out!
