My Entry To The Queen City Cake Decorating Show 2013
This is a 10 inch square, 6 inches tall. Covered in fondant and hand painted with powdered color to resemble a forest of birch or aspen trees with the occasional fir. The J on top is RI runout suspended on tip 0 strings. The stringwork around the top edge of the crimping is tip size 0. Board is extruded fondant. Some doodoo head touched the J and broke it during the last day of the show. At least the judges had finished with it by then!

Sophia's Birthday
2 tier fondant decorated cake. Client requested a match to the party decorations, but couldn't do some elements due to copyright. Used generic flowers and the same colors to make something complementary. I do see a smudge of the dry pearl dust on the front of the top tier that reflected in the flash.

5Th Birthday Cake
This was inspired by Pink Cake Box, the mom picked it off her website. She couldn't afford the topsy turvy look so we went traditional round stacked. Client provided feathers, vendor assured her they were cleaned and sterilized....still put them in drinking straws though. All fondant. Not sure why the bottom tier looks a different color from the top. Same airbrush color!

Chinese Wedding
Inspired by the designs of a Chinese wedding. Round tier is supposed to be a lantern. Dresses often decorated with phoenix and dragons, and embroidered with flowers and such. They often have elaborate headpieces with veils. A dummy made for a show. Featured in May/June issue of American Cake Decorating Magazine.
