Glowing Ghosts

Halloween birthday party. I used some wireless, battery powered lights behind the windows, so when we turned off the other lights, the ghosts glowed through the windows. I'll try to post the "lights out" photo, also. You should be able to see it at http://www.cakecentral.com/modules.php?name=gallery&file=displayimage&pid=1309943&done=1

Strike!

For my son's 7th birthday. First time trying to model a fondant person. So thankful that Aine2 shares her online tutorials! Really need to try to get to a class when she comes back to the states.

Hog Wild!

DH got bit by a wild hog this winter(ripped shirt is in hog's mouth), so I used the story for inspiration for his birthday cake this summer. DH wants to know when he can just have a "normal" cake again (just chocolate cake with chocolate BC). I told him when we have just a "normal" year! This was chocolate cake, chocolate BC, covered in MMF. Gumpaste tusks.

Hunting Theme Shower

The family found out they were having a third boy, and the mom said "No more baby blue!" The dad is a hunting guide, so the shower hostesses requested something with cammo, alligators, hogs, and hunting dogs. This was my first run at modeling animals out of fondant. So much fun to make!

Another Deer For The Cc Herd

I used a 9x13, Wilton Course 2 oval and a 4x2 round stacked for this one. Thank you all so much for sharing the instructions and answering my questions. You guys make me look like I know what I'm doing! Colored my antlers too dark, so I think they look like pretzels, but the customer loved it. Note: I am sad to say that I had computer problems & lost the instructions, so I am not able to send them on to anyone who has been requesting it. It was in a back issue of Mail Box News.

My First Baby Block

4 8" squares, buttercream. They know what the baby's initials will be, but they don't know if it is a boy or a girl until the birth.

County Fair Entry

This is a closer view of my cake that won the rosette for the Adult Food division of our county fair.

Frank

My version of the Bronwen Weber tutorial on the ACD web site. This was for my son's 8th birthday. Since his birthday is so close to Halloween, we always have a costume party. Had to make Frank friendlier than usual, since we still have lots of young cousins.

This was for my niece's birthday, and my first large fondant project. Thanks so much, BJ, for your help!

Mom & Dad's Birthdays

Can you guess how old they are? This was supposed to be a tiered cake, but sort of morphed into whimsical as the construction evolved.

Mom & Dad's 40Th Anniversary

Done in their wedding colors. My first time doing Cornelli lace. My sister came into town for the anniversary, so after a quick tutorial, she did the piping with me. We would work on a section, then rotate the cake and work on another section so our lace would blend. Made for a fun afternoon - got to visit with her and get the cake done faster, too!

Dump Truck

Vanilla cake with BC and fondant accents. Airbrushed bagels with fondant hubcaps for wheels. I crumbled up a chocolate cupcake and sprinkled it in the bed of the truck and onto the chunk of cake that is the emptied load to look like a load of dirt. Thank you RICKASH and srmaxwell for your help!

Castle_Comp.jpg

The mom of the birthday girl and I looked for 3 hours deciding how we wanted the cake. We liked lots of different parts of different castles on CC, but a lot of this came from Sugarlaced's design.
