Critter Cake
Another copycat cake of Allison's! (cakesbyallison) Friend requested a "snake" cake for a little boy's snake party (complete with a snake expert for show and tell) but after I showed her Allison's cake she had to have one just like it! :-O I left off a couple of critters though because I was intimidated to even attempt them. lol Fun cake to do. Thanks Allison.

Dragees Unlimited!
Just foolin' around with this dummy cake. I liked it before I started adding all the dragees, then it kind of went downhill IMO. lol I cut leaf shapes out of wafer paper; brushed them with piping gel both sides; poured Wilton sugar crystals on one side; then stuck them on cake. Did all the scroll work with tip#16.

Leather Bag With Candy Corn
Okay, so who's heard of putting candy corn in a leather bag? Me either, but I got a request for a chocolate cake with candy corn incorporated into it someway and since I like making boween's make-up purse cake :-)...why not? :-) Birthday girl is a grown woman whose mom used to always make her a chocolate iced cake with candy corn when she was growing up.

Monach Executive Motorhome Cake
This cake looks simple enough but it took me forever to do! Okay, not forever but a good 3 hours. Customer owns an RV like this that they take to MSU games thus the reason for the addition of the "Go MSU". I couldn't do it to scale or else it would have been twice as long and I don't have a board/box that big. Glad this one is over! Buttercream with fondant accents.

Shelties
Not happy at all with this cake but that's the way it goes sometimes! I was actually supposed to do an icing drawing of this photo but just could not do it. Could not figure out how to simplify the photo so it looked good in icing. So I printed a picture of the original photo; made it smaller; covered it with a sheet protector and put it on a fondant plaque; added a fondant frame. (I need a printer with icing paper!) Don't know what I was thinking with all the squiggley lines.

Barn Cake
The animals are candles that the customer provided. SOoooo, can't really light the candles like this but I provided her with an extra little cake that she can use her other candles with. She may be upset that I used them like this but this was the best design I could come up with for a sheet cake.

Ladybug Cake
I'm sorry I deleted the other photo of this but I realized after looking at the picture cake needed tweaking! :-) Added the leaves to the border. Doesn't seem *quite* so plain now. fondant with gumtex bow and booties. Bow painted with Americolor color mixed with vodka and ladybugs added to booties using Americolor food writer pens. This was done to coordinate with the nursery bedding.
