Brothers Grooms Cake
This was a surprise for my brother. He proposed in WVa on the mtn by a lake after taking her to see where he carved their initials years ago in his deer stand. The country dirt road crosses the river & he made her take a picture of him & his truck crossing the river, we all got a big laugh out of that. The tree stand design came from jennifer0383. Logs & rocks gumpaste, tree is wooden dowels w/royal icing, deer stand is fondant over cardboard w/hunter inside, river is chocoate rocks w/piping gel.

Brother's Wedding
My first wedding cake for my brother as a present. I learned a lot, couldn't get the dowels all completely even and when I set it up was afraid it would topple so I took it apart and stacked all seperately. 14" Pralines and Cream w/ pecan praline BC filling, 10" white chocloate w/raspberry BC filling, and 8" anniversary top was chocolate my brothers favorite. Gardenia's are brides favorite so my mom did those for between the tiers. Also did grooms cake will post later.

Converse Baby Shoes
I had fun with this cake, the idea for the cakecame from KristasCakes and the idea for the converse came from Maggiev777. I used the instructions from Stellastarchild to make the shoe but I ended up doing it without the shoe mold. I couldn't get the pieces to match up correctly when I started glueing. Because I didn't use the shoe mold the toe of the shoe isn't right, but I was still happy with the outcome. This was also my first bow. Thank you to everyone for their ideas

Baby Shower Giraffe
8" cake is dark chocolate w/chocolate buttercream, 6" layer is lemon w/lemon buttercream. First attempt at decorating and then stacking cakes, I was nervous, I used straws. I also couldn't believe how heavy the cake was. First attempt at making fondant/gumpaste animal. I wasn't happy w/lemon buttercream couldn't get it smooth.

Pooh On A Cloud
3D Teddy Bear cake pan on an 11X15 cake for my employees baby shower. The mom loves Pooh so this was my attempt. The corner crumbled when I flipped the cake to cool, I figured it was a cloud so it would be ok.. Thinned buttercream icing with marshmallows to make the clouds and Baby Blocks to finish it off. The mom loved it and wouldn't let anyone touch the bear, she took it home.

Bear In The Woods
3D Bear, done for a friend. Her mom was turning 60 and had a funny story about being scared in the woods by a fake animal that she thought was a bear. My husband had oak tree camo duct tape that I wrapped around a paper towel tube, then my husband but my greenery with flowers in the hole. I couldn't talk him out of that idea.

Over The Hill Old Side
My husbands 40th Birthday cake the old man side. It was a surprise birthday party so for 4 mornings when he went to work at 1:30am I stayed up to work on the cake. Tombstones are wafer cookies dipped in white chocolate colored gray, dirt is crushed oreos, cat tails are fondant, hill is RKT, waterfalls on both sides are buttercream w/colored piping gel, the rest is buttercream. I made trees but they didn't turn out. Don't have a good picture of whole cake will have to post each side separately.
