New Rum!
This is a new Rum not yet on the market. Asked to do a simple cake (using it) but not fancy, just enough to show off the bottle. Not given much time, but thought this stood out for them. Cake is a chocolate version of the WASC and using the Leblon Rum. Topped with a thin layer of chocolate ganache and finely sprinkled walnuts.

Spring...away From Me!
This is the 'original' WASC cake recipe from kakeladi; had leftover cherry frosting; and wanted to use up the last of my MMF, and just got my tappits in the mail. Just as I was playing with all my stuff, a neighbor came over and asked if I had a cake as she was running late for a meeting and was supposed to bring dessert. Fastest money I ever made!! She saved one piece for me to taste the recipe and it was delicious.

Cc Addiction!
After reading posts on cupcakes, I had to make some. After reading posts on brownies, I had to make them. Surprisingly, I had cupcakes left over when I made the brownies, so I threw some brownies in with the leftover cucakes and frosting and made cake balls! Cherry chip cupcakes with cherry frosting & double fudge brownies with walnuts. Absolutely delicious!! Thanks for drooling, I mean looking!

Kerrie's Sweet 16
First off, my cakes always look better in my head!! WASC on the bottom and chocolate cake on top. Cookies and cream filling. BC frosted with MMF accents. Kerrie picked the colors and polka dots. Filling oozed out into the frosting so the whole cake was speckled. Was supposed to have more squiggles except my dog stood up on counter and grabbed the plate I had them on and ate them all! End result was not good, but this was my first try at a 2 tiered cake. Quite the experience!!

A "friend's" Cake
A young girl from work is eloping and moving (future hubby in Coast Guard). Parents object to wedding so no party but I wanted her to at least have a cake to have now. Her favorite colors are pink/deep pink. Cake is WASC with a vanilla mousse filling; BC covering with my first homemade MMF for decorations and dress. Her last name is FRIEND, thus the saying. Thanks for looking and thanks to ideas on CC for this cake!

First Sent Cake
This will be my first attempt at SENDING a cake from Michigan to Arizona to my Mom for her B'day. It's a chocolate cake with Kahlua frosting and filling and choc. ganache topping. Pierottes and chocolate candy canes line the outside of the cake. Cake truffles are choc. kahlua with chocolate drizzles. Hope it makes it!

Sorley Is 13!
Thanks to MAC for her cake! Her's is so much better than mine, but my son loved it anyway! He is a strawberry fanatic so this was quite fitting for him. Red velvet cake, BC frosting, fondant leaves and ganache chocolate. I lost the shape of it when I torted it to put in a strawberry mousse filling. Thanks for looking!

Leftover Treats
Mini version of other cakes on CC, but this is with the Wilton Tasty-Fill Mini cake pan set. I made the cakes (chocolate with spice bc filling) while my son's friends pooled their leftover Halloween candy together to make assorted versions of this. This one is KitKat outside. Each one was used as a fundraiser for the sports program. The boys were very proud of their creations and the program that they love!

Hubby Is 60!
Newspaper cake that I'm not real pleased with. Guess I was being lazy and rushing to get it done. Mat turned out okay though. Just a single layer cake (white with vanilla caramel flavoring in it). My writing is terrible, and this was my first time using edible transfers, but I had fun making it!

30 Years!
After 30 years of marriage, hubby and I thought we could go out for a dinner, just the two of us. With 7 kids we don't get out much. Puppy had an allergic reaction to a shot and it took all night to nurse him back. There is always the 31st. Anniversary. Anyway, this was a quick cake. 6" Chocolate fudge cake with BC icing on the bottom layer, and 3" chocolate fuge cake with strawberry filling for the top layer. All BC frosting.

Cosmetic Bag
My daughter works for MAC cosmetics and our last name is MacDonald. She is called Mary Mac, so this was very fitting for her! This is only my second fondant cake so I once again learned from it. Everything is edible and fondant except for the hair dryer which is chocolate. Everything for her has to be pink as well so this is a strawberry and white cake with strawberry mousse filling and strawberry buttercream underneath. She loved it!

April Fools!
My family refuses to eat at home on April Fools Day or Halloween for this reason: the meatloaf is actually cocoa krispies; mashed potatoes and gravy are actually ice-cream and butterscotch topping; and cupcake? Oh, that's really the meatloaf, topped with real whipped mashed potatoes! Some of the mashed potatoes I colored with food coloring. They all thought I forgot this year since I've been so busy! Fooled them.....AGAIN!
