Repaired Heart
I made this cake for a get together with family and friends for after we have my baby son blessed. He was born with a heart defect and even though it's a little cheesy, I thought it would be kind of cute to have there. It's decorated with buttercream icing. I ran out of my red food coloring, so it's more pink than I really wanted it, but that's okay.

I made this for my mother-in-law. Today is her last day of teaching so we are getting together to have a little party for her. Probably can't tell very well...but I tried to make the pencil so it looked like it had been chewed on. The eraser, etc. are made out of fondant. Rest is iced in buttercream.

Mini Cupcake Ghosts
I came up with this idea as I was trying to think of a fun thing to do to give to neighbors. My neighborhood does a "boo" thing where you will get treats given you with a note saying you've been boo'd and to do it to others. I thought this would be fun. Everything on the mini cupcakes has been made with the candy melts.

Snow Turtle
This is a cake I made for my husband's birthday. He loves to snowboard and has always liked turtles so I decided to try to make a turtle on a snowboard. Only it didn't quite turn out like I pictured. I made the turtle out of rice krispy treats and have since learned to let them cool a bit before sculpting with. Being warm, they squished down so it looks more like a dinosaur than a turtle. And then I didn't take the time I should have so it doesn't really look like a snowboard, either. But that's okay.

Puppy Surprise
I made this cake for my daughter's birthday. I got the idea from another cake here on cake central (only it was a horse and individual size). The two puppies are made from mmf. Got distracted when doing the lettering and totally spaced the "h" in birthday. So I just squeezed it in there. Made me feel like a dork though. :)

Bowler Birthday
I made this cake (with some help from my sister) for my father-in-law for his birthday. He loves to bowl and after seeing other pictures like this here, I thought I would try to make one. This was my first time using mmf (the bowler and little bowling balls to edge the cake are made with mmf) to decorate a cake. I'm pretty happy with the results, for a novice, anyway.
