This cake is covered in fondx. Bottom tier is 8" round and the top is 6" round. Each tier is probably 5-6" tall. The castle is rice crispies and the columns are plastic cake stand dowels. All covered in fondx with fondx accents. The butterflies and flowers are also fondx.
This is devils food chocolate with choclate mousse. I did a good chocolate buttercream crumb coat and it's covered in fondx. DE-LISH! This space shuttle has fondx and choc. fondant accent decor. I used a 1/4 sheet pan for this cake. I cut it in half length wise and stacked it. Once it was stacked I carved it a bit. For the nose of the shuttle I used rice crispie treats.
These 3 cakes are white cake with strawberries-n-cream. Covered in fondx. They have some fondant accent decor and some RI piping. The little slugger is fondx.
This is dark chocolate cake with raspberries -n- cream filling and a nice crumb coat of chocolate buttercream. Covered in fondx. I used super red luster dust on the dark pink polka dots. Tiers are 8" and 6". I made the monogram from floral wire and hot glued the rhinestones to it. I got a e-mail from the bride after her shower saying she loved the cake and the monogram. And she also said she is going to use the monogram as her wedding cake topper. COOL! I was thrilled that she liked it so much.
This is the completed cake with the marzipan figure on top. I made the monogram out of flower wire and different sized rhinestones. The cake is cover in fondx. Royal icing pedestals, shoes and purses. I used sanding sugar for the bottom tier over a diamond pattern to get and sparkely diamond effect. A girl has to have her sparkle and shine, right? The gingham ribbon and bows are fondx. ;o)
This cake is covered in fondx with accents of gumpaste and fondx. The Groom on top is fondx. The tires are modeling chocolate. At the back end of the bike is the "dirt" roost. (term for dirt that is kicked up from the tire). I made this out of royal icing with graham cracker crumbs pressed on it. There were 2 of them on either side of the back tire, but 1 broke. The Groom got the effect and that was all that counted. ;o)
Royal icing. There are 16 pieces forming this tower. I had to do it, like 5 times just to get this final piece. I like it.
This was my county fair entry, I was awarded Best of Show and I couldn't be happier. I am so excited about the win, I keep pinching myself! The cake is 10",8",6" dummies. Covered in fondx. RI eiffel tower, RI scroll work and trim. I used fondx for the showgirl, frames and drape work for the top tier. The images are edible. I did diamond impressions on the 2nd tier and trimmed them with sugar crystals.
This cake is covered in fondx. The body is 2, 6x3 round pans, filled and stacked. The head is a 5x2 round pan filled. I covered the 6" and the 5" seperately and then placed dowel support through the body then put the head on. The arms, legs, ears, trunk and tail are fondx. Since this guy is bathing, I put blue tinted piping gel on flower wire( cloth covered wire) and stuck them in the trunk to make a shower effect and poured a little of the piping gel around the cake.
This cake is covered in fondx. I had a hard time with the shapes. The dice was a little too big and was hanging a bit off of the 6" round. I originally was suppose to do a 4" square but thought it would be too small for the topper the bride had brought. Well, the topper fit my larger square. I always have problems with tiers ending up looking like a tower and not a tiered cake. This one was stressfull...
The cake is covered in fondx with fondx accents. The tires are modeling chocolate with spaghetti noodles as the spokes. This was for my DH's birthday party on the 4th and there are candy fire works coming out of the back of the cake. Unfortnatlly the cake was not perfect. Things were falling of and the fondant was peeling of the bottom. UUUUUGH! He was impressed by it, but it was hard for me not to point stuff out to people. Any hoo, This was my cake.

The little girl is made from fondx and has pink sugar crystals as her necklace and trimming her flower on her belt and her shoes.
I used half of the sports ball for the base of the rock and then the other half of the ball cake I cut up and stuck on the bottom piece to make rocky bumps. I covered it in fondx and put buttercream on the fron to look like a splashing wave. The mermaid is fondx.
I used the sports ball pan for the death star. It is covered in fondx. I used a viening tool to make the details in the death star. My sister HERs helped me by sculpting lego luke and his light saber out of fondx.
Covered in fondx. The magnolias, leaves and swirly ribbon are gumpaste. I air brushed the tips of the magnolias silver. The bride's dress was ivory with black and silver accents and wanted this cake to match.

1/2 sheet cake on bottom, 3D glove and ball covered in Fondex. The pennant is fondx with FBCT. This was my first time with the transfer and it was not smooth when I took it out of the freezer. I had to blend all the gaps, so some of the red smooshed into the white. Oh well.
I posted a practice baby a few weeks ago. I am so excited to show my finished product. Let me know what you think. Thanks ;o) Jan. 30, 2010**ETA: For all who are concerned about cutting into this please know, this is only a 3 inch marzipan sculpture, NOT a cake.. It is a topper on the cake and a memento for the Mom to be.. No Marzipan baby was harmed in the making of this cake.. LOL! This is inspired by Camille Allen, A fabulous polymer clay doll designer. Some of you may know of her work from the "sugar baby" e-mails that are all over the web (those are polymer clay). I was inspired by that e-mail, when I received it a few years ago and thought why can't a baby really be sculpted out of marzipan?? I decided to try and this is one of the creations.. I am glad that these are well received by the cake community here on Cake Central.. I am so happy to have a place to share what I love..
This was choc cake with cookies-n-cream filling. Covered in fondx with fondx and gumpaste decorations and royal icing details. The baby is marzipan and the tires are modeling choc. I am uploading the front view and a close up otf the baby.
This is yellow cake with chocolate buttercream filling covered in fondx. The tires are modeling chocolate. There are fondx and gumpaste decorations with royal icing details. The fork lift for the truck was broken by a worker at the bouce party place, (2nd time this happened at this place). Any hoo, the 4yr old boy loved it without the full apperatus, he knew what it was.
This cake is cookies-n-cream filling covered in fondx (sooo good). The dogwood is gumpaste with royal icing centers. I tried brushed embroidery for the flowers on the side and the sparrows. I used a little teal luster dust over the sparrows for added sparkle. The pattern on the sides of the cake were inspired by a shabby chic pillow I saw in a magazine.
This is white cake with cookies and cream filling. Covered in fondant, gumpaste leaves and wood planks, fondant door and windows, modeling chocolate tree trunk and tire swing. The tire swing was hung up with a plastic string. The grass was fondant and I used scissors to make the blades of grass.
