Sweet 16 Birthday. Critiques Always Welcomed.
The lady said her DD's school colors were purple and white, but didn't give me much else except to say that she loved "Ace of Cakes" and wanted a special cake for her birthday. NO PRESSURE THERE. So this is what I came up with. I am SO cross eyed right now. Please feel free to critique, you can't be any harder on it than I am right now... 10in choc, small oval strawberry, buttercream with fondant accents.

Golf Ball Cake
I told her I didn't have time to do it, but I work with her and she was sooo insistent....so I caved. Anyway, it has a long disaster story associated that I'll have to post in the appropriate forum sometime later... lemon cake with raspberry filling, rice krispy treat ball covered in fondant. Airbrushed the cake.

Baby Shower Cake
Top tier is chocolate with raspberry filling, middle is white with strawberry, bottom is orange butter with cream cheese filling. Hand made fondant/gumpaste rattle, buttons, bow (top and bottom) and baby booties. Pink bow on second tier is modeling chocolate. Was concerned about this one (client seemed overly worried and squirrely), but the she seemed really happy and her husband gave me a $10 tip!! This isn't my design, don't know who's it is, so if it's yours, Thank you!!

Another "over The Hill" Cake
I wanted this to be simple because I am charging very little for it. Mainly because it's my first fondant figure and I didn't want to charge her the big bucks if it's a trial run. Chocolate cake, fondant figure, buttercream grass, royal icing flowers (leftovers from another cake...)

21St Birthday Cake
Client submitted a photo that I adapted. 8in square yellow 2 layer cake. Martini glass is 50/50 fondant/gumpaste. Drew olive in food coloring, dusted with yellow petal dust for the "liquid" in the glass, oversprayed with super pearl dust via airbrush. The rest is buttercream. Sprinkled cake sparkles on the blank parts by the glass since it looked awfully plain to me. The client said it was "perfect" tho.

New England Patriots Football Field
My niece is a die hard Patriots fan (or Tom Brady fan...) and wanted this for her birthday. The end zone and center field decorations are painted candy clay. The rest is buttercream. Bordered with a brown puff border decorated with white laces to resemble little footballs. Hope she likes it.

"blue Horseshoe" Cake
Requested by a client for a football party. This is the one I have color issues with. I just don't understand how you can patch a booboo with icing from the same bucket you iced the stupid thing with, and have it be a lighter color blue. If someone could explain that to me, I'd be everlastingly grateful.
