Minnie Mouse Cupcakes
Made these for my grand-daughters b-day. I did some with vanilla buttercream and some with strawberry buttercream and also did a variety of chocolate and vanilla cupcakes. I used tempered chocolate for the ears. I had seen some that had used oreos but the oreos were really big for the cupcakes and i had an issue with them falling. Tried propping them up with icing in the back but i found it was much easier to make little circles with chocolate. Once is used the chocolate i did not have any more issues. These were very easy to make.

Edible Plant Cell Project
My son and I did this together for his school project this year. He was required to make an edible plant cell. We made the extra cupcakes so everyone in his class got their own individual cell. We used various candies for the plant cell parts and labeled them with toothpicks and paper flags we printed. Icing is buttercream and we used food coloring to dye the cake green. I was very proud of him on this, he worked really hard on it.

Family Tree Birthday Cake
Made this for my grandfathers 81st birthday. He has Alzheimers so I wanted something to depict our family. Got some ideas from Cake Central, and this was what I came up with. Three layer cake, all done in buttercream. I used paper for the leaves, as I had a difficult time getting the writing small enough on fondant leaves. (Sorry, I cheated. Not as skilled as many of the people on here. Lol) I did use fondant for the heart on the tree, and put my grandfather and grandmothers initials on it although the pics are kinda fuzzy. I made the poster behind the cake with pics I copied off of facebook to help with my theme. The white is supposed to be clouds, although im not sure they really turned out well. The quote on the poster says "You may not remember, but we will never forget"

Mothers Day Cake Pops
* I made these for my sons class for Mothers Day. I used tiny terra cotta pots, dipped chocolate cake pops, put them in the pots, sprinkled with oreo crumbs, and used buttercream icing to make the flowers and leaves. I put them in baggies tied with ribbon and a Happy Mothers Day tag.

4Th Of July Cake
This is my second attemp at MMF. I was happy with the outcome although there are some definate areas for improvement. The cake was chocolate with a buttercream crumb coating and mmf exterior. The top has silk flowers on it. The bottom trim is buttercream also. It was a big hit. Its only thank to the support and advice from everyone on this site that I was able to pull this off. Thanks everyone!
