Camping Birthday Cake
Scratch white cake with butter frosting. This was my frist time modeling figures so I am a bit nervous. I originally had a tent but it broke moving it . . . had to settle for the dog. The cake is for a co-worker who is a vet tech and loves camping. Thanks to everyone here for their inspiration!

Angel's Baseball Cake
I just finished this one for my Dad's birthday tonight. Its all Paula Deen's Bananna Nut Cake, the bottom tier has my Nana's custard for filling. I did the Angel's logo in FBCT, then used my sports ball pan. My piping is getting worse and worse, so I have some definite issues with my baseball stitching. (I'm in the works for carpal tunnel surgery.) This was of course inspired by many other cakes here on CC.

21St Birthday Cake
I made this for my younger brothers 21st birthday. Be kind . . . I had 3 hours of sleep in over 48 hours so I was exaused when trying to put this one together. On top of that, my mixer died that morning so I didn't get to make fondant like I had wanted. Its a white cake with lemon filling on top, chocolate with whipped ganache on the bottom. All buttercream. You can't really tell, but my boyfriend found the topper in Las Vegas and it actually lit up!

Easter Cake
Super quick cake done to take to my parents house for Easter. This was the first time I used the bake right strips and I was so happy with the results. The only glitch was my buttercream actually cracked like spackle!!! (I have no idea how that happened.) And some of the cookies ended up flopping over. Oh well . . .

Farewell Cake
I made this one for a co-worker who is leaving to work in Yellowstone Park. The bottom layer is chocolate cake, chocolate buttercream and chocolate fondant . . . the top is white cake, buttercream and lemon fondant. The colors didn't photograph too well . . . I dusted both layers with luster dust as well. (I should note, I am going to put either fresh roses or gerbera daisys on top tomorrow before delivering the cake.)

Red Velvet Cake
This is a red velvet scratch cake with a butter icing . . . .I've never made either recipe and I was really disappointed. The cake's baked up really flat . . . the icing is a cooked icing and for some stupid reason it ended up with tiny chunks in it. All in all, not my favorite. A friend of mine gave me the recipes and asked me to make this for his birthday cake . . . I hope he isn't as bummed out as I am!
