Camping Cake
This cake was totally inspired by krystalp's camping cake. My friend saw her picture and asked me to make something similar - so, thank you krystalp!! :) Tent is rice krispie treats, covered with BC and MMF. Trees are the top half of ice cream cones, covered with BC. Most of the other details are also MMF. Thanks for looking! Sorry the picture isn't clearer (can't see the animals faces very well).

Thomas The Tank Engine
This was inspired by arwa - thanks so much for posting it! Couldn't find the stand-up train pan, so I had to carve it. All BC except for MMF face, smokestack and duck. Words in the "smoke" were just printed onto card paper, then laminated. Caboose is carrying Skittles (also arwa's idea)! Made the hills to give more cake servings. Really fun cake to make! Thanks for looking.

White Van - Joke Cake!
This was a joke cake for a "cougar" friend of mine! It's hard to see in this pic, but I printed up pictures of my friend, Johnny Depp and Jon Bon Jovi and stuck them together, laminated them and used that as the "windshield"! On the back of the van it says 1-800-COUGARS. I also printed up "Honk if you have nosy neighbours" and "I love mullets" (more inside jokes), laminated them and stuck them on the rear bumper as bumper stickers. I had WAY too much fun making this, and my friend loved it!

Close-Up Of Golden Anniversary Figures
Okay, so I'm no aine2, but I had fun with this! Figures are MMF, glasses are wire. Had trouble making grey fondant (it kept turning purple - and yes, I was using white + black....very strange!). Ended up using white for him, and added black "highlights" with a food writer. Used both black and white for her hair, again used the food writer. My hubby thinks she looks like a punk rocker! Flowers are also MMF, with gold dragees. TFL!

Golden Anniversary
Couple are made from MMF, and so are the flowers. Added gold dragees. Had a hard time with the hair. Why do white and black not make grey, as far as fondant goes?! I kept getting purple!! Ended up doing some white, some black, and colouring some of the white hairs with my black food writer. My hubby says she looks like a punk rocker grandma! :)

Jukebox Cake
This was for a 50th anniversary. Showed my friend the picture of glitterkris's awesome cake and she wanted one like it! Thanks for the inspiration, glitterkris! Also used jklcooper's great idea of putting a list of songs on there (non-edible, unfortunately). This was quite a large cake: two 12 X 18's stacked and carved. Decorations are all BC. Thanks for looking.
