Astronaut With Moon Cake And Cookies
Here it is! The moon is equivalent to a 12in chocolate cake, covered in chocopan and brushed dry with moonstone silver luster dust. The astronaut is styrofoam covered in gumpaste. The cookies were decorated with fondant and royal icing. Silver dragees play "stars" on the fondant covered board. It was SOO much fun!

Pink And Purple Doll Cake
Made in the Wonder Mold. Buttercream skirt and ruffle, dragees, gumpaste topskirt and shawl. Bow in her hair is gumpaste too. I charged her $25 since I"ve known her for a long time and I just wanted to be nice. I'd be interested to know what you would charge for this, though. Critiques are always welcome.

3D Golden Retriever Cake For My Mom's 60Th
My mom is a golden retriever fanatic. She also owns her own dog grooming business, so it was a no-brainer to figure out what her cake should be. I carved it freehand, iced in buttercream then covered in chocopan fondant and airbrushed. Had some issues covering in 1 piece, so I feathered the edges, hoping they'd look like fur....at any rate, I'm pleased with him, but critiques are always welcome on my pics.....

Pillow Tiara Cake
First, please believe me when I say I hold this statement as a truth, not a plea for compliments: I believe this is the dumbest looking cake ever. The pillow is not even ....well, even. The colors didn't turn out looking as good as it did in my head. I hate this in buttercream, if I ever do it again, it'll be fondant for sure, and NOT chocolate cake. I made the pillow too dang small. Ok, I'm done complaining now. I guess my niece will like it. TIara is of gumpaste using my clay gun.

50Th Birthday Cake For Bob
I got carte blanche from the client. She gave me plates and napkins for inspiration. They were black with 50 on them, the 5 blue and the 0 purple. They also had yellow and orange starbursts and dots, and silver ribbon and confetti. So this is what I came up with. I'm hoping she's satisfied, I've never had carte blanche before....

Forest Animals Cake For A 4Yr Old
A client with an art degree comes to me to make a forest cake for her DD. She had her DD's favorite toys to put on the cake and a small boulder. I think it looks just like the drawing. She got the trees from Micheals. I hope she likes it. 10 in round, top layer cut in half and half of the cake is 3 layers tall, the other half only one. Piping gel for the river, crushed grahams for the dirt.

Dump Truck For 2 Yr Old
This took me forever...partially the fondant's fault, way too soft. It buckled at the bottom of the bed of the truck...on both sides but NOT the back end. Why??? Who knows....I charged her$100, I hope she's satisfied with it...half sheet carved, chocolate with white chocolate fondant (homemade)

Wedding Cake From Hell
4 tier all white with raspberry filling, ivory buttercream with red roses and swags. This cake was from hell. I had to bake ahead and freeze because of time issues. I had to do the top tier 3 times to get it right, it kept falling apart. The bottom tier developed a crack.....I hope it makes it! The swags are soooooo badly done, I couldn't do the stupid stringwork right to save my life. When I arrived I discovered bulges that weren't there last night. So aggravated!! And Oh, so glad it's done!

Bridal Shower Cake, Hawaii Themed
Client asked for smaller version of the wedding cake I did like this for a friend's bridal shower. I hope she's ok with it. I see all kinds of problems, but DH is standing over me with a stick, telling me to quit obsessing and go to bed! Feel free to critique, I can take it.

Purple Wedding Cake With White Chocolate Seashells
A client sent me an email with a picture of a cake like this. I hope she's satisfied with it. I used a cc'er's suggestion to use clear pillars and fill them with purple icing to get colored pillars. The bride is picking up the cake and transporting it. The caterers are going to assemble. (I can't deliver to their reception site). I hope all goes well!

Princess Crown First Birthday Cake
A client wanted either a princess crown or a big 1 for her DD first birthday. She emailed me a copy of the party stuff she'd bought, and the crown was plain pink in this shape. I added a 1 carved out of the scraps, some drop flowers, vines and leaves to "pretty" it up some. I hope she likes it.

White On White Wedding Cake
16 in round, 12 in round, 8 in round, all white chocolate whisper cake with raspberry filling. Turned out too thin to use my stress free supports, so I'm stressed. Plus I hate that the top of the top tier isn't level...why didn't I see that BEFORE I delivered it??? But the bride liked it.
