Oh I had fun designing this one for my sweet sister-in-law's first baby. The color scheme was mauve, white & brown. I used edible paper and regular fondant squares to make the quilt design on the middle tier. I also wanted the look of lace so used some frill cutters and hand punched all the dots on the bottom tiered fondant. Everyone loved it!
Top is 6" pink champagne cake with strawberry filling, covered in bubblegum pink fondant- I used my diamond impression mat for the first time, then put fondant pearls all over. The trim around that one is a real ribbon. Bottom is 8" "better than sex cake" (chocolate/caramel/toffee) iced in white buttercream with black fondant zebra stripes. I used a crystal pendant I found with the pink fondant to make a pretty brooch. Finally the cake drum has a black fur trim.
This is a 8/10/12 stacked cake designed by the birthday girl to match her party-ware in turquoise, lime green & tangerine orange. They provided the mask and feathers, all else is fondant details on buttercream icing. TFL!
8" cake iced in chocolate buttercream, used my straight frill cutter set to do the red borders, and a new Martha Stewart heart punch for the hearts on the side- love how they turned out! I wanted a vintage feel. I wrote the little sayings with an edible pen on pink fondant heart cutouts. Used my new alphabet cutters for "happy valentine's day". TFL!
I still love the zebra design, this one is a 6/8" in the birthday girl's color scheme, buttercream iced with fondant starts, "T", zebra stripes and ball border. TFL!
This is a 4/6/8" cake, all WASC with raspberry buttercream filling & scrolls on the outside (made it smell delicious!), which fresh pink baby roses & baby's breath I put on. This is only my second time arranging fresh flowers on a cake & I think it's such a pretty look!
8" chocolate fudge cake with peanut butter frosting filled, chocolate fondant covered, decorated with various flower shapes in pink, white & green, royal icing vines in green. Thanks to md79 & andrea7 for the inspiration.
8" cake iced in buttercream, fondant figures and ball border, the Christmas tree is an ice cream cone with buttercream, mini m & m's for the ornaments and I used my new pearl border to make the garland. This was my first time making people and it's fun but challenging.
6/8/10 tiered red velvet/white/carrot with cream cheese frosting made to match the baby bedding. It was for a couples shower so I made the mom & dad giraffe and two baby giraffes as they are having twin boys. Plaid fondant middle layer. I wanted to add more details to the gumpaste giraffes but ran out of time =(
This is a 60's theme birthday cake, 6"/8"/10" iced in buttercream with fondant accents. Stripes on the top tier have a tie-dye appearance, I did some 60's words/phrases on the bottom, i.e. groovy, far out, bitchin', peace, etc
The mom of this 4 year old girl wanted a super girly pink princess design, so this is what I came up with. Buttercream iced 6"/8" with fondant accents, real tiara & wand so the birthday girl can play with them after they cut the cake. Pink marabou fur trim hot glued to the cake drum and tiara. Love this one!
I copied gracefull's design on this one, a 12" round bottom layer in blue buttecream with blue fondant stripes, 8" hat that is 4 layers stacked iced in white buttercream with red fondant stripes. Also used edible images on fondant of the cat in the hat.

I am a twin, and my sister said a few months ago how she never gets a special cake from me, so I decided to surprise her on our birthday. 6"/8" tiers iced in mint green buttercream, decorated with white & pink stripes, a pink fondant bow & pink fondant flowers with mint green leaves. These are my first fondant roses which came out nice but are so time consuming. TFL!
1/2 sheet marble cake with light pink buttercream, white fondant girl ghost, and orange/black/hot pink fondant dots.
6" top (3 layers of orange, yellow & white colored white cake to look like candy corn) with orange & red fondant diamonds & black pearls, trying to get a candy corn look. 8" bottom (chocolate cake, chocolate filling) in green icing with fondant suckers and spiders. Purple fondant bow on top. Iced in buttercream using the Viva paper towel method to smooth.
This is an 8" WASC with fresh strawberry filling, iced in buttercream with fondant stripes and circles. This was my first time making fondant figures and I really like how the dogs turned out. There were also 60 cupcakes iced in matching brown & blue buttercream for the guests.
Wow, I am so happy with how this one turned out. 8/9/10" tiers iced in buttercream with fondant decorations. The birthday girl wanted the zebra stripes and diamond pattern as shown, with midnight blue as the accent color. Used my funky tapit cutters for the letters on the cake board. Very labor intensive putting all those diamonds & black pearl on by hand. TFL!
My son is a big Chicago Cubs fan so I made this cake for his 13th birthday. Everything is covered in MMF. Very fun to make. I need some letter cutters though. TFL!
