4 Person Birthday Cake
12" 3 layer french vanilla cake, 1 layer cream cheese filling, 1 layer strawberry filling. Buttercream frosting, Fondant bow and ribbons. completed with White and Dark Chocolate Covered Strawberries. My hand started to get really sore after piping dots along the edges of the ribbon, so after the 3 ribbon, some of the dots started to have points to them, as you can see.... Scrollwork I just came up with as I went....

American Flag
A full sheet(2 11x17 cakes put together) chocolate cake with Chocolate buttercream frosting. The red, white and blue crumbles are White Chocoate that I melted, colored, poured onto cookie sheets and then chopped up into small pieces. I marked out the width of each red and white strip on the cake and then to make sure the chocolate colors didn't mix when sprinkled, I held a cake board along the edge to prevent any pieces from going astray.... They really liked Chocolate.......

Dad's Semi-Truck
This is my first completly 3D cake AND my first cake i ever covered in Fondant....I think for a first timer and basically winging it...I did a pretty good job. I made some mistakes, I didn't cut my dowel rods short enough so 2 of them started to poke through the Fondant, and I forgot to put "sky" at the bottom of the truck...oppsie...but the cake was for my dad and he understood. Used Italian Cream Cake with White Chocolate Mousse filling and BC and MMF frosting.

Butterfinger Cake
The recipes for the cake/frosting/filling i got from epicurious & then spotted the recipe in the newest issue of Taste of Homes, while i was baking the cake. The cake is Peanut butter cake w/ a Chocolate chunky peanut butter filling & cream cheese frosting. I melted a little of the filling & drizzled it over the edges & then the cake was topped off w/ butterfingers. The frosting IMHO would be better as a filling. It would not set & kept sliding down the side of the cake even after a nite in the fridge
