Magic Hat Cake With Rabbit
This cake loosely matches the invitation. Rabbit-in-a-hat. Cake is 3 8" round layers red velvet (using Margie's Incredible Chocolate Cake recipe). Hat brim is a 10" cake board covered in MMF. Rabbit is made of rice krispy treats covered in MMF and painted with Americolor. It was a huge hit! Thanks for looking!

Topsy Turvy Baby Shower
Baby shower cake. Color scheme/theme based on invitation design. I used the tutorial on this site, thanks! Red velvet cake, buttercream, MMF, hand painted spots, MMF bear and blocks (used some tylose in the blocks). Could be better, but not bad for my first "mad hatter" cake... Thanks for looking!

Black MMF. Screen is an edible image on white candy coating. Buttons are white and dark chocolate with edible images. His mom LOVED it!

Monkey Cake
My take on the Martha Stewart monkey. I thought it came out pretty cute, but looking at the picture, I see a lot of flaws. I am getting better with fondant, though...I think. I used a 9x13 pan for the head, and 3D sports ball pan for the nose. Margie's Incredible Chocolate Cake recipe with banana cream filling, chocolate buttercream, and MMF. Eyes are MMF painted black. Everyone liked it, so I'm happy. I take any opportunity to make a cake because the only way to get better is to practice!

Baby Shower Cake
I made this cake last minute, as I didn't think I'd have enough time to do my original idea. It took about 8 hrs. Margie's incredible chocolate cake recipe with french vanilla cake mix and vanilla pudding. Bavarian cream and strawberry filling. Buttercream dream, MMF. Cake is 2 9" rounds, torted. Umbrella is cake baked in a small pyrex, unfilled. Duck is white chocolate (I used a mold). Not bad for last minute! :)

Wwe Championship Belt
WWE championship belt cake made for Wrestlemania 23 party! Fondant plaques are hand painted/sculpted. This cake came together at the last minute, when DH told me I could make a Wrestlemania cake and that he wanted John Cena's belt. I made it all with stuff I had on hand...with better planning, I think it could have been better, but overall I was really pleased with the way it turned out.

Tiffany Bag Cake
Made this for my friend's birthday. White chocolate cake (Margie's Incredible Chocolate Cake recipe using white cake and white choc. pudding), sleeved lemon filling, buttercream, lemon-flavored MMF, white chocolate, MMF, and RI decorations. I didn't get to give it to my friend b/c she was sick :(, but DH's family loved it! :) Fun and not too difficult to make. I will probably recreate it for my friend when she is well.

Cake For A Co-Worker Who Was Getting Married
This took me all night! I even had the cake pre-baked! 9" Wilton contour pan, deep dark chocolate cake (scratch), mocha filling, crusting BC (which didn't crust), green MMF, MMF loops and balls, Antonia74 royal for the writing. White sparkle dust and super pearl brushed on dry. I really had a lot of fun with this. I wish it had turned out better...next time I'll make sure that my BC is stiff enough so I don't get the "rolls" on the bottom. I put the wires in coffee straws so the balls kind of spun.

My First Fondant
My first attempt at fondant. I used the Wilton, nasty-tasting one. DH Dark Chocolate cake, DH pre-made frosting (in the interest of time). I did it before I found this site, so my cake was kind of fluffy. I torted and filled both layers, but I didn't know about making a dam, so the frosting squished out. I used wilton candy melts in a ziploc baggie for the decoration.
