This was a request for a wedding cake with a star theme because the bride, groom and their son's initials together make the word star. I came up with a fountain/ firework like theme but decided to start the bottom with a heart to signify the love. The 3 stars above (2 large & 1 small) all touch and signify the family unit. This was not an ordinary wedding cake-type request but I think the end result has turned out ok.
Black & red birthday cake inspired by the recipients black curly hair and her love of bright red lipstick.

Inspiration taken from CCers. Lady wanted a bright colourful cake for her daughter's birthday with a fairy-type theme. She wanted the hair brown with gingerish tones running through and 2 cats (1 black, 1 tabby-coloured). This is my first attempt at both a fairy and at the cats. It's also the 1st time I've used my Cricut machine which I loved. I'm quite pleased with the result.

As you can tell my daughter is Harry Potter crazy :)
