Suzie's Wedding
This is my first wedding cake done for SIL. BC frosting, royal flowers, bottom layer is chocolate and rest of layers are white. SIL forgot about a wedding topper - so I made one the morning of the wedding - yes those are REAL horse shoes - anchored to dowel rods - clear plastic separates cake from the shoes. Hit of the wedding - it was outside on a ranch. Biggest fear was the barn cats running loose - had to put the whole thing under a box with rocks on top for two hours before the wedding LOL

Topsy Turvy Disaster
This is my first attempt at fondant and a topsy turvy cake. I've never had lessons working with fondant. One lesson I learned you must use a VERY firm cake. This one sort of kept sinking into itsself. Made for a cake contest - didn't think it would make it 10 miles to town - it survived so entered it anyway. Cake in back ground was another cake I entered - got second on it.
