Luau Anniversary Cake
This is my variation of sugarfancy's beautiful cake - thanks for the inspiration! Sand is a mixture of graham cracker crumbs and brown sugar. Water has piping gel on top for that "wet" look. Tiki guy is MMF, I used my kids' Doh doh island Play Doh mold for it! Tiki hut is a mini cupcake. Other details are MMF, RI and BC. I'll post a close-up of the top too. Thanks for looking!

First Tiara Close-Up - Side View
Royal icing tiara with pearl luster dust and silver dragees. Thanks again to Carrie Lynn for her excellent tutorial! This was so easy to make, it peeled off the wax paper perfectly with no breakage! Yay! I put it on top of a castle cake I made for my friend's daughter.

Castle With First Tiara!
I've made castle cakes before, but this was my first tiara! I used carrielynnfields' wonderful instructions (on the homepage) - thanks Carrie Lynn! Royal icing tiara, dusted with pearl luster dust and silver dragees added. MMF doors, windows, and shutters. Candy melts used on "roofs" of turrets, which are ice cream cones. Everything else is BC. Writing is also dusted with luster dust. Thanks for looking!

Year Of The Pig Cake
This is for my neighbour who is having a pig roast at her summer property, which is a renovated pig farm - and since 2007 is the year of the pig, she wanted that to be the theme! It's a strawberry cake, 16 X 16 X 4" high - very heavy! Transferred picture of pig to cake by pressing paper (cut-out of pig) onto crusted icing, which left an indentation of the whole outline. Filled in with pink, used damp foam brush to smooth. Then added the black outline and details. The Chinese symbol is for "pig".

Charlotte's Web Cake
This cake is half chocolate and half white (baked in the same pan - first time doing that...learned that trick on CC of course!). The mom wanted a girly cake with Wilbur and Charlotte on. MMF butterflies, everything else is BC. Dusted the letters with sparkle dust so they would be easier to read (hard to see in this photo, though!). Thanks for looking!

Swimming Pool Cake
This was for my little sister's birthday. She always floats around the pool holding onto 2 beach balls, so my mom wanted me to make a cake like that. Tutti Fruiti cake (white cake flavoured with blue raspberry jello, and banana, coconut, and lemon flav.) with fondant accents. Thanks for looking!

Margarita Cake
This was inspired by CustomCakesbySharon - I love her margarita cake! This is for the teachers at my children's school. Used piping gel over BC to give it that "glassy" look. It's hard to see in the picture, but there are cake sparkles around the edge of the glass to look like salt. RI flowers. Thanks for looking!

Preschool Graduation
This was for my sweet little students who graduated yesterday - this was my first year as a preschool teacher, so it was a very emotional day!! The kids are really into school buses and butterflies (due to a field trip we took). The stars were a hit (on their show-and-tell days they get to wear a star necklace with their name on) - they all wanted to find and eat their own name! Stars and butterflies are MMF. Inspiration for this was from charman - thanks for posting your awesome cake!

Baby In Tub Cake
This is a baby shower cake for one of the teacher's at my children's school. I worked until 11 am this morning, then got the message that they needed the cake by noon! I had originally been told 3 pm. I still had to do the eyes, bath mat, writing and borders! I had wanted to add more details, but didn't have the time.
