Princess Pillow Cake
Cake for a birthday girl. Bottom is WASC filled w/ white chocolate mousse iced in cream cheese icing. Pillow is french vanilla with cream cheese icing. Covered in MMF with MMF accents. White chocolate tiara. This was my first time working with luster dust, and as you can see I got some on the white mmf. Tried to rub it off but just made it worse!

Candle Party Cake
This cake was one disaster after another. It was supposed to be three candles from a jelly roll style cake. But that cracked everywhere. Then I baked 3 cakes in soup cans, but only 1 came out. So I used the one and turned the rest into cake balls. Orange Dreamesicle cake with vanilla buttercream.

A princess birthday cake for a little girl. Bottom layer is yellow cake with BC, top tier is strawberry cake with almond BC and covered in MMF. Accents are MMF and tiara is white chocolate. This was my first tiara and my first time to try ribbon roses. Inspired by a fellow CC member, but I misplaced the name, sorry!

Easter Cake
Stacked 2 tier cake. Top cake is 2 layer yellow iced and filled with raspberry BC and covered with MMF. Bottom cake is 2 layer chocolate filled with fudge and iced in BC. Grass is BC; Bunny, skunk, hedgehogs, mushrooms, snails, turtle, and fence posts are all MMF and gum paste. This cake was so much fun to do! It was my first time making fondant/gum paste figures. Thanks to all who helped with directions and pictures.

Death By Chocolate
This was my first time making and using ganache to coat a cake. Turned out pretty good! Chocolate fudge cake filled with whipped chocolate ganache. Coated with dark chocolate ganache and topped with whipped ganache rosettes, white chocolate, and milk chocolate. White chocolate filigree. Yep, that's 5 different types of chocolate! I'm sending it to work tomorrow with DH so I won't be tempted ;)

Ahoy Mate!
This is the first cake that I'm actually proud of! Devil's food cake iced with BC and covered with MMF. MMF accents and chocolate MMF was used to make the black parts. Bottom cake is a 9" square and top is half of the sports ball pan. I was inspired by the Wilton pattern and riana's pirate. Thanks for looking!

Oink
I just got the sports ball pan and wanted to try a practice cake. This was originally supposed to be covered in pink fondant, but I didn't have enough so I just frosted with BC and used the little fondant I did have for the accents. I was planning on making it into a piggy bank using chocolate gold coins that I have, but somebody *ahem...DH.....* ate them. Inspired by a picture from Seven.

Wilton Fondant And Gumpaste Lesson 1 Cake
This was my second time working with fondant, and it went soooo much better than my first. This is a white cake with BC icing covered in Fondant with Fondant accents. It was the first cake we did in the Fondant and Gumpaste class. I used Wilton fondant, and while it does taste icky, at least I know how fondant is supposed to feel now.
