Thanks to the many decorators that have done jungle or safari cakes. My grandson asked for a lion cake. While my daughter was searching the galleries for lion cake ideas lots of safari cakes came up. Gabriel decided to sit on her lap and look too. He is a huge animal lover. He chose every design and animal on his cake from the pictures he saw. This is was the final result. Two days before his birthday he added Diego. Thank heaven for Wilton's Diego candle.
My grandson has been crazy about lions forever. he asked for lion cupcake for his daycare class. My thanks to all who have done them before me.
When one of my friends was asked which bakery she gets her children's birthday cakes, she told them she didn't use a bakery. She told them I was her cake lady. She then was asked if I would consider doing the cake for a coworker's baby shower. After the build up how could i say no. fondant accents with gumpate baby sitting on a pastilage heart plaque so the mom to be could save it
This is becoming a popular cake for my friends. I think because it is so different. from first birthday cakes.

Cake topper for wedding cakejust posted . All gumpaste flowers with gumpaste holder. Holderborder royal icing.
This was a last minute wedding cake for my daughter's best friend's brother. He eloped while stationed in Washington. His sister and Mom planned a reception here in SC for when he would be home on leave before he goes to Iraq. He and his wife were expecting a party not a reception. Jen and her mom decided at the last minute it would be cool to give them a wedding cake. Due to my vacation I only had 1 week to get details worked out. I don't normally do wedding cakes but couldn't turn down my daughter's best friend. I searched Cake Central for ideas and suggested a monogram topper. My big mistake was sending them about 20 pics of cakes that were simple as they requested. What I didn't anticipate was that they would change from the monogram to a flower topper. I want to thank Debs71 for the cake design and briannastreats for the topper inspiration. I did a gumpaste version of the real flower topper on the cake she posted.
A little different for a 1st birthday. A smaller version of a cake I did a few years ago . cut from 8 inch cakes buttercream with fondant decorations.
8 and 10 inch squares done in school colors. Mom wanted cake different than his friend Brooke so we did stripes on the bottom tier. RKT base for cap and done in 50/50 gumpaste fondant mix. Both cakes were same flavors Strawberry top and dark chocolate fudge bottom tier.
8 and 10 inch rounds done in school colors. RKT base for cap and done in 50/50 gumpaste fondant mix.
12, 8 and 5 inch topsy turvy. Mom first told me pink and white and then a few weeks later a luau theme. This is what I came up with after searching 23 pages in the gallery. I think I got inspiration fro about 50 cakes Thank you nall for posting your photos

My friends Julie & Tony (over 50) got fed up with family interference and decided on a small private ceremony. I gave her a choice of pics I found on CC that closely suited her tastes. A pic by Cowspot_me was her choice. this is my interpretation. I have just started playing with gumpaste flowers and thought she could use the topper as a keepsake. I used a disc of styrofoam covered in fondant for the base.
I was told floweres butterflies and ladybugs. Gumpaste daisies , fondant butterflies and ladybugs.
