Fish Bowl Cake
I made this for a benefit, It is chocolate with mmf covering and decorating the cake. My 2 daughters (8 & 9) made the fish and seaweed to put on the cake. My cake was auctioned for $28, twice the price of the other cakes. I was so happy. My cake was the only "untraditional" cake. The cake was the girls ideal. We had seen in it BHG and had been reluctant to do it. It was fun though.

Suprise Wedding Cake
I tricked a friend of mine to pick her own wedding cake. She was getting remarried, just a jop and i wanted to surprise her. So i told her i was making a wedding cake for a friend and had free reign on the design and i needed her to help me pick out the cake. And this was the one. She was so suprised when i took it to her the day before the wedding.. I was a yellow cake with cream cheese filling , covered with mmf and mmf leaves. The roses came from my own garden.

Turkey Cake
Saw a few of these and thought what a great ideal for my inlaws Thanksgiving dinner. Thanks to Cyndlou1882 for her instructions. The only thing i did different was use left over cake from carving around the 9x13 as the drumsticks and wings. The Mil, and 2 Sil's thought it was real. Now can you get a better compliment. Hubby thought it was pretty cool also. Thanks to everyone here for the wonderful inspitations and eagerness to help those of us unseasoned decorators. Happy Turkey Day

Class_2_Cakes-19.jpg
Made this for my friend's son. I didn't get the football centered like i wanted. And as i was getting the saran wrap around it i dropped the roll on the top left edge. I had to rebuild it at the last minute. I told my friend about it and offered to take $5 off the price but she said Chris loved the cake and they couldn't even tell where it had been fixed. The goal posts are made from fondant and sprayed with yellow mist.

Class_2_Cakes-15.jpg
This was my class 2 final cake. I went kinda crazy with the flowers. The ladybugs were a great addition. I took the cake to work and got an order for this same cake. I was very pleased. I had a few gaps where i can see white so next time i will add leaves before i add the flowers.

Final_Cake.jpg
Final cake for class. Lesson learned on this cake....Don't procratinate. I didn't frost the cake until i got off work.Should have gotten off work at 1:30 but didn't get off until 4:20. By then i only had 40 minutes to frost and leave for the class. For now on i will have the cake frosted and ready the night before. Haste makes waste. But i was happy with the overall cake. Everybody has to start somewhere. Practice makes perfect. So more practicing for me.
