Golf Cake
Syyrofoam "J" covered in royal icing. Real golf balls on top. Styrofoam balls covered in royal icing and dimpled to look like golf balls. Found out his favorite type of balls was Titleist Pro V so I piped that on. Golf clubs made from gumpaste & painted. (I had to airbrush the background because they had it sitting in front of blinds.) Thanks to sweetcravings for sharing the pic she had when the event planner didn't like my original drawing.

Star Wars Death Star
This cake was a challenge. It was actually a grooms cake. The grooms brother constructed the support structure for me. The bottom half is styrofoam, the top is cake. Thanks to Doug for showing me the way. We put little star fighters & whatever the bad guys planes are called around the cake.

Williams Baby Shower
I loved this cake. Five little handmade jungle animals for the future mom to keep (the nursery is the same theme). Banana leaves & jungle plants adorn the side of the layers. Palm trees made from gumpaste. Fondant on the top of each layer to keep the animals cleaner. Everyone loved the look & the taste.

Jimmy's Hunting Cake
Had to decide which picture to upload since we're supposed to be limited to one. You can't really see the whole cake & be able to see the gumpaste guy sleeping against the tree trunk, with his RI rifle across his lap. So I chose this angle. He really loved this cake. Said it was the "prettiest" cake he's ever seen. I don't know about pretty but it was cute. He wouldn't even cut it and let people have a piece of cake. He saved it to show others. They finally ate it.

Kaminsky Birthday Cake
This was a strange little fellow. The mother sent me a picture of a picture and wanted me to recreate it. Don't ask me what it's supposed to mean...... Each body part was made from royal icing or gumpaste or a combination of both and then I painted it. It came out exactly like the picture and she was almost in tears when she picked it up. White chocolate pound cake with coconut filling and cocout buttercream.
