This cake traveled 600 miles from NC to NJ to celebrate the wedding of my cousin who got married in on the beach in Puerto Rico a few months ago. For traveling, and unfortunately having to put it in the fridge for little bit (98 degrees on the farm), hence the sweating, I think it turned out pretty nice. Fondant covered butter cream, fondant bamboo, Gumpaste hibiscus, small flowers and leaves. The Happy was a personal touch for the bride - she saw this carved in the sand on the day of her wedding. They loved it.
Tangled Cake - 8" round, PVC tower and RKT top. Lots of work, but worth it!
For my Son's b-day. Two 6 inch rounds topped with a half ball. The arms are RKTs.
I made this cake for my Niece's 10th Birthday. She is a HUGE Harry Potter fan and asked for a cake that her figures could put put on. It was a lot of work, but I am fairly happy with how it turned out. The RKT roof on the main room started melting a little, but what can you do? I used 8" square and 6" square pans and carved them to the shape. Roof on both are RKT. All edible but a few skewers (and figures of course!)
Baseball field and smash cake for a little boy's 1st birthday! Mom had the figures and put them on before the party. I used 10" square and half sports ball for the cakes. All buttercream. Sugar in the raw and graham cracker mixed for "dirt".
Baby shower cake inspired by bedding. Yellow cake w/strawberry cream filling.
Cinderella cake for a little girl's 3rd birthday. Bottom 10" covered in buttercream and Barbie is buttercream covered in MMF pumpkin is fondant also. I used a little luster dust - the first time I had the opportunity!
Almond cake with Almond flavored buttercream and almond flavored fondant (almond loving Mom-to-Be). All fondant accents! Monkey baby topper is my first figure - not too bad! Thank you to Daisydel for the inspiration for the animals!
Fun brain cupcakes! Red Velvet cupcakes with strawberry filling butter cream icing. Cool effect when you bite into them!
8th birthday cake for my Niece. She had a luau party so I made the luau Barbie with the Wilton Doll pan and a 8" square for the base. Butter cream skirt, fondant base, fondant bamboo and gum paste/butter cream coconut bra.
I tried to replicate the USS Farragut which was the 1st destroyer my Dad was on in the Navy. It's yellow/chocolate covered in BC and then MMF. Carved 11x15 and I used a small 4x4 cake on top (made from left over cake after carving) Foam covered in fondant for the other 3D parts of the ship.
This was for my son's 5th b-day (duh) party. He loves Mario Brothers so I did a 1-up mushroom cake! Dark Choc. 5" round stem and yellow / funfetti cap. Covered in MMF - was a big hit with the kiddies!
This is my first wedding cake!! I am really happy with the way it turned out...it was for my sister's backyard wedding. The cakes were 6,9 and 12" squares iced in buttercream and covered with MMF. Shells were all handmade out of gum paste. It was assembled on site (my parents house) with my whole family as my audience! Thanks for looking!
This was actually the final cake from my last class of the Wilton course 3 class. I was going for the shower look. The roses and petals are gumpaste and the cake is covered in MMF. All chocolate cake with chocolate cream cheese filing. I'm very pleased with this cake and I'm actually very surprised that I made it!!
This is a surprise 50th cake for a close friend of the family. Covered in MMF and all accents are fondant as well. It's a 6" round and an 8" square. This was a lot of fun and she was so excited that I made it to fit her fun personality!
This is a 2nd anniversary cake for a couple in my area. It is a chocolate cake with chocolate ganache filing and covered in MMF. The flowers are real by request. I think there are too many roses, but she loved it.
I made this for a woman who was surprising her husband on his 40th birthday. Dark Chocolate fudge cake w/choc. filling. An 11x15 pan carved to Harley logo. Thanks, Darra for the color flow flames idea! I never thought I would ever do that outside of the Wilton class I took!
I made this for my son's 4th Birthday!!
This was for a little girl's first birthday. Her mom wanted a butterfly cake for her to dig into an get messy! I used an 8" round for the body and iced it in buttercream. Thanks to sarahb for the color inspiration!!
This cake was made by the request of a friend who is a HUGE Duke fan. CSMoore's cake was the brains behind the design and allowed me to use her idea - thanks for all your help!! This was made using a 10" square pan. It was two layers, chocolate and French Vanilla with Chocolate cream cheese filling. It is covered in royal icing. Thanks for looking!

This is my first carved cake! Thank you to Pieceofcake2000 for all your help and inspiration on this cake. It's made with a 9x13 and two loaf pans and iced with buttercream. The best part of the time it took to make this cake is the Birthday boy (4 years old) knew it was Optimus prime!!
This cake was made, by the request of her boyfriend, for my sister's birthday party (she will be in Vegas for her actual b-day). It is her favorite funfetti cake with crusting buttercream icing. All accents are fondant except the dice (dollar store) and pair of aces. This was a fun cake...a little last minute, but he gave me creative control and it turned out to be really fun!
This is my 2nd attempt at a tiered cake. My sister asked me to do this cake for her daughter and thanks to all the ideas from CC I was able to piece this together. The buttercream wasn't cooperating (very humid weather) so I couldn't get it very smooth. The fondant accents were also a first, and I'm fairly pleased with the results. The yellow stars were sprinkled with edible sparkles and the letters were "lit" with piped white dots for the bulb effect. She did love it, which is all that counts!!
I made this after hearing my sister was not getting a birthday cake for her birthday. I made it very quickly (double layer chocolate cake with vanilla icing). I actually used strawberry kiwi cool-aid for the pink color. It tasted very good! Chocolate icing was store-bought and piped on for scroll effect. She loved it - even though it was on one of my dinner plates!!
I am the queen of last minute! This was a apple spice cake with cream cheese icing I made for my Mom's 55th birthday (55 is in the pumpkin vines on the top of the cake). Very simple, but got ideas from CC for the pumpkin and the vines - you guys rock! Never used fondant before, so the pumpkins are VERY orange because they came in a neon color pack! My Mom loved it and the cake was yummy!
