A Little Birdie Told Me...
This baby shower cake was designed to match the baby's nursery. The girls giving the shower gave me a picture of the bedding and told me to do whatever I wanted. I had so much fun designing this one! It is all buttercream with fondant accents on the top and bottom tier. Birds are chocolate transfers. Baby and quilt are fondant.

Macy's Shopping Bag
Macy's bag covered in fondant, gumpaste handles, fondant tissue paper...Mastercard is made of royal icing and Visa is a chocolate transfer. I made two of each and didn't like how the chocolate Mastercard or royal Visa turned out...so I used one of each. WASC with buttercream filling. The gilr who ordered this cake just said her mom loves to shop and do whatever I want. So here it is.

Cupcake Cake Ball Favors
This is a close-up of one of the party favors for my little girl's birthday party last night. They are cake balls, dipped in chocolate on the bottom, pink candy melts on the top, then sprinkles, and a pink M&M on top. Then I stuck them in those tiny little terra cotta flower pots lined with a mini cupcake liner, and put them in a bag tied with a bow. They were SOOOOOO cute! I love these.

Sleeping Beauty
Another Debbie Brown cake from Enchanted Cakes for Children. I love that book. This one of the cakes I am making for my little girl's 2nd birthday party on Sunday. The other is a stacked pillow cake with a tiara on top...part of the whole "Sleeping Beauty" theme. One cake down, one to go. I am already pooped.

My First Pillow Cake
I finally did it. I made my first pillow cake. This was sort of a practice run for what I plan to do for my little girl's birhday cake. This was based on a Colette Peters cake. I did attempt a gumpaste tiara to put on top, but it fell apart. How does everyone get those things to stay together? I must not have let it dry long enough maybe. Oh, this cake is WASC covered in fondant....then painted with luster paint.

Black And White With Red Ribbon Roses
This was my first time using FondX fondant. I LOVE it!!! I will never make fondant again. I am terrible at it. This stuffis soooo much better. This is also my first time using my new clay extruder. It also works great! I can't wait to try so many more cakes using this great fondant and my new clay toy. Thanks to heidihill for the design of this cake. I thought hers was so pretty.
