thanks to zoey2jack for this idea. I was asked to make a Victorian bride as the topper to the tea pot. She is made out of white chocolate (face, bust and arms) and the bottom half is rice krispy treats.
I made this cake for my own retirement party. It's meant to be a thank you to everyone I've ever worked with over the last 35 years. I bake from the heart, so I thought it was a very fitting parting gift from me. I wanted to make a cake that looked like the old black velvet paintings that I used to make fun of years ago (you know -like the Elvis ones). Then I came across a cake made by Truly Custom Cakery and I borrowed her idea. TFL
Thanks to Shogg for letting me use her design and for her help. 10in, 8in, 6in WASC- different flavors and fillings for each tier. Covered in fondant.

Thanks to Karen's Cookie Blog for her tutorial and ideas.
My sister is having double hip surgery, so I made her a personal sized get well flower basket to cheer her up. Thanks to Cupcake Envy for her tutorials and great techniques.

My son told me that the perfect cake would be a combination of pie and cake so I came up with this Pie Cake. It's chocolate WASC poured into a unbaked pie shell. I then cut strips of another pie shell and placed it over the cake to look like a lattice pie crust. I baked it on 325 degrees until done (approx. 40 minutes). I only filled the pan about 1/2 ...maybe a little less.
Just fooling around with some cupcake ideas. I tried to make a bucket with a champagne bottle cupcake and some confetti and martini glass cupcake.
Chocolate sugar cookies with Antonia74 royal icing. I borrowed a few ideas from all the talented bakers on CC and tried to come up with a few ideas of my own. TFL.
First time I tried to decorate cookies with royal meringue buttercream icing (thanks to Kittycake for her recipe and instructions). The icing does crust but doesn't get hard so you have to be extra careful handling the cookies. You can see where I stuck my finger in the snowflake one - oh well.
I know I am not the first person to discover this technique, but I thought I would share this anyway. I wanted to make "glass tiles" for a Hanukkah menorah. First I made a mold out of tin foil. I kind of squished it together to make something that looked like squares. I sprayed the tin foil lightly with oil. Then I smashed up the jolly ranchers and put the bits in the tin foil. I melted them in my toaster oven on 300 degrees for approx. 4 - 5 minutes. WATCH CAREFULLY - if they heat up too much they will turn a nasty color! Remove carefully and let them cool (I popped them in the freezer). Then I gently removed them. They look more like mosaic than actual tile, but I'm pretty happy with the result. I've posted pictures for you to see the steps.

I was asked to make a cake that was a replica of the Life Of Pi. The actual book is in the photo

A big shout out to Anna902 for allowing me to use her wonderful design. I hope I did it justice. I also made a smaller "smash" cake for the birthday boy.
WASC covered in fondant. Brutus is the mascot for OSU. This was for a 1year old boy's birthday.His parents are huge OSC fans. Sport ball cookies were the favors.
I tried to make this cake look like a NoJo baby jungle animals quilt.
Thanks to all the CCers out there for their ideas, tips, techniques and links. This cake is for a little girl who was having a dress-up party.
