Hollywood Theme
For an awards day/celebration at the nursing home where my husband works. It was National Nursing Home week. The black is modeling chocolate with buttercream decorations. The film reel is a 6" round with modeling chocolate for the outside of the reel. The film is fruit roll-ups. (fruit by the foot)

Cowboy Birthday
For my grandson's 5th birthday. The cowboy hat is iced with buttercream and the leather/weathered look was achieved by 'painting' with food coloring. The had band is modeling chocolate. The boot is all cake, 'dirty' iced, then covered with modeling chocolate. There is stitching detail on the toe and at the top edge of the boot.

Guitar Cake
Made for a groom from pictures of his real guitar. Made this one just a bit smaller than the original. The tuning keys are thumb screws, Wooden knobs painted with black food color for the volume, etc and the string pegs. The strings are elastic thread. I was able to tighten them after the picture was taken. It is all buttercream icing except the 2 solid pieces (can't remember what they're called) under the strings. They are modeling chocolate painted with gel paste.

Princess Castle Cake
We did a Princess theme for my friend's baby shower. I used the hexagon cake pans and used buttercream icing. I wasn't sure what to use for the turrets then finally decided these candles were perfect. I decorated them with the buttercream icing, too. Then I sprinkled white and pink glitter over the whole cake. This was my first attempt at a castle cake.
