Crown Of Thorns
I made this cake for a district church event and earned first place for it. I will be taking it to regionals as well. The flowers are all red fondant. Piping was inspired by one of the Wilton yearbooks, but I found it easier to hand-pipe than to use the pattern. The crown of thorns is made from gumpaste.

Baby Diaper Bag For Felicity
I made this cake for my older sister and her husband's baby shower. Her baby's name will be Felicity, which obviously explains the name on the front. :-) The cake is meant to be a baby bag or diaper bag and I wasn't sure if it looked like one, so I was originally concerned. I felt relieved (and so happy!!) when a little girl who came said "Mommy, look--it's a diaper bag!" (or so my other sister told me). Trace0011 was a great help with some tips for my first shot at it--thanks!!

Popcorn
I was bored one day, so I made a cake shaped like a bowl of popcorn. I saw a picture once of one that was a basket of popcorn, but when I went to make the basket part, the buttercream was too dry from the chocolate and fall off when I flipped the cake over. The cake was okay without the basket part though. My youth group loved it--and someone reached in because they didn't pay attention and thought it was actually popcorn. Haha.

Wilton Course Ii Basketweave Flowers
Final cake from Course 2 of the Wilton classes. It's iced in buttercream, decorated with the basketweave, a variety of royal icing flowers and colorflow birds. This is the cake my family always remembers. My twin sister ALWAYS tells me to make this cake again...but I have yet to repeat it. All those flowers took a lot of time. And on this cake, my buttercream started to get dry and the basketweave began falling apart in the front. Oh well, it was still cute. :)

Happy Birthday Mom
A friend of mine asked me to make this cake for her grandmother. It says "Mom" because it was meant to be from my friend's mother. Make sense? LoL. Anyway, it's iced in chocolate buttercream, with buttercream roses and flowers. Not one of my best cakes, but I was happy for some practice, and I got it iced pretty smoothly. ;)

Thanks Kate Flowers
I made this cake for someone my sister knew. Obviously its purpose was to say "Thanks." I heard she cried when she received it because she liked the cake, but I'm sure it was just because she wasn't expecting any cake. LoL. Anyway, there are royal icing flowers and buttercream roses on the cake.
