Blue Van
This one was a cake disaster story! My dog ATE the first one! This was the do-over. I had to call the friend and ask for more time. :( I will NEVER forget to push the kitchen chairs in again (he's just a little guy, he actually jumped on a chair and got right up on the table - bad , bad doggie!). And since it was CHOCOLATE cake, I was cleaning it up for 2 days afterward, if you know what I mean (I ALMOST felt sorry for the dog).

Flip Flops
These were inspired by BJ. The birthday girl's actual birthday is in the winter - but she really wanted to have a pool party so she waited for 6 months (hence the "10 1/2"). And, of course, it POURED rain.... :( Sand is graham cracker crumbs. Chocolate shells are brushed with luster dust.

Hannah Montana Guitar
This was inspired by a cake I found on the website cakesbythepound.com . Her cakes are really incredible - my attempt doesn't even compare! I made this for my daughter's friend. BC with a couple of fondant accents. Logo is not edible, I cut it out from the cover of my daughter's colouring book (much to her dismay!) :) Thanks for looking.

Bikini Cake
12 X 18" cake. Skin is BC. Bikini is MMF, used my imprint mat for the pattern. Gold dragees for piercing. Used the mini wonder mold pan for you-know-whats :) It's pretty sad when you're jealous of a cake's flat stomach...... LOL. Message is supposed to look like a tattoo. Thanks for looking.

Caterpillar And Bugs
I really enjoyed making this one! Caterpillar was made with mini wonder mold pan. Bugs are chocolate - used the templates from the book "Hello, Cupcake!" by Alan Richardson and Karen Tack (which is the best cupcake book EVER!). Antennae are toothpicks with MMF balls, leaves are MMF, everything else is BC. Thanks for looking.

Pink And Purple Castle With Ri Tiara
Tiara is royal icing, dusted with silver sparkle dust (not sure if you can see that in pic), and I added some silver dragees. Flowers and doors are fondant, top of turrets are chocolate-covered ice cream cones, everything else is BC. Cake sprinkles on top surfaces for extra sparkle. TFL!

In The Night Garden Cake
I'm not familiar with this TV show, but apparently it's a hit with the little ones! Cake was inspired by a picture of a cake the mom found online. I tried finding it so I could give the decorator credit, but I was unable to find it - but thank you, whoever you are! :) "Edible" image on top - couldn't get the backing off so I just cut around it and laid it on there :( Characters and trees are MMF. TFL!

Smurfs
This was a near disaster. I was very tired, and when I flipped my FBCT onto the cake I put it the WRONG way, with the picture facing down!! :( How many of these have I done??!!! Had to scrape it off, re-do the top of the cake, re-do the FBCT.....aaarrrgghhhh!! I didn't realize kids knew about smurfs these days (thought they were lost in the 80's!), but apparently they're still on TV!

Preschool Grad Cake
This is for the preschool where I am a teacher. Bottom half of grad cap was baked in half of the Wilton Sports ball pan, and covered with MMF. Top of cap is cardboard covered in MMF. All 35 kids have their names on the stars around the sides (at school on their "special day" they get to wear a star necklace with their name on). Used a mold for MMF butterflies. Added butterflies anc caterpillar because we just recently took a field trip to the butterfly conservatory. Tassel is also MMF. TFL!
