Carved a Cub Scout derby car for my son's blue and gold banquet. Wheels are fondant covered donuts. Covered in fondant that was airbrushed. First time using the airbrush--it was quite a learning experience.
Made for my son's 8th Kinghts birthday party. Cut out the stones from fondant. The towers are from the Wilton kit, covered in fondant which was then scored. Added toy figurines as I ran out of umph to do them from gumpaste.
I made 270 of these for an LDS Women's Conference. The flowers were piped in buttercream in peach, coral and pink colors. I was pretty pleased with how they turned out as it was my first time doing cupcakes.
This cake was inspired by JenniferMI's beautiful yellow cake using fresh flowers. I covered cake in mmf and molded roses from it as well (first time molding roses!). Top layer is apricot nectar cake with apricot swiss meringue buttercream and bottom layer is WASC raspberry cake with raspberry white chocolate cream cheese frosting.
Using Wendy's excellent tutorial, I carved Thomas from an 11x15 sheet cake, stacked and frozen. He is covered in mmf. Face is molded from mmf. Cake flavored with vanilla caramel coffee creamer powder and frosted in whipped buttercream.
My gingerbread house for this year: pattern from Franky's Attic. Covered in royal icing, m&ms for roof tiles, malt balls, sour cherry balls, licorice, trees are plastic forms. Windows are melted butterscotch disks.
Many thanks to RockStarCakes for the excellent tutorial and your amazing cake which I copied as best I could! Used five 9 inch round cakes, frozen and sculpted (my first major sculpting project). Base is styrofoam. Chocolate mmf colored with Wilton black. Used marshmallow buttercream. Filled with chocolate ganache (I sculpted first then filled as I was worried the ganache would make it too unstable to carve). "Cape" part of helmet in back is actually cardstock as I didn't want to make more mmf.
Inspired by the baskets in the gallery here. Stacked three 8" WASC with creme brulee creamer (subbed 1c water but didn't give very strong flavor and cakes fell some in middle) and filled with caramel filling from recipes here (very yummy!) frosted with buttercream. Basket made from Rhondas chocolate mmf with grooves made by a corn holder pick thing and colored in with Wilton brown gel. Apples are mmf covered cupcakes filled with canned dark chocolate frosting (I was getting tired!).

I made this tank for my son's 8th birthday. I baked a 12x12 square, froze it and cut it and carved it for the bottom and covered in mmf. Then placeda mmf covered board on top. Then placed a carved 11x7 cake on top. Covered with mmf and placed a 6 in round on top. Used a dowel for the cannon. Covered regular and mini oreos for the wheels. Tracks made from mmf as well.
