Basketball Shoes
These are a couple cakes I made for my brother's graduation; he's big into basketball! These shoes are actually an exact representation of the shoes his favorite NBA player signed and handed to him after a game. They're size a size 13. ;) I stacked three sheet cakes, froze them, and then carved the shoes. Iced in buttercream. Were a HUGE hit!

Bowl Of Bamboo
This cake is entirely edible. Consists of a fondant covered "bowl", chocolate rocks, and a cake surrounded by bamboo made of a coffee-flavored candy covered in white chocolate. Last year for my grandma's birthday, we gave her a real bamboo plant. So I decided to give it a try for her birthday this year. She got a kick out of it and wouldn't have cut into it had I not taken over! 'Course this is the same grandma who has the bell-shaped cake I made for her 4 years ago displayed in her china cabinet...... :-D

Eiffel Tower
This design comes from a bridal magazine that originally showed it with rose pedals sprinkled along each tier and rose buds placed under the topper. However, the couple liked the contemporary feel given by the stark plainness and bold lines. It also helps to draw your eye to the intricate handmade topper that was purchased through the bridal magazine.
