Peacock feather wedding cake. Coconut cake with toasted coconut and vanilla filling. Iced in SMBC buttercream with RI stencils on gumpaste panels. It doesn't show up in the photos, but I added homemade edible glitter to the hearts.
I wanted a vehicle to display my new cameo mold and this lended itself to that. This is a dummy cake covered in RI with gumpaste accents
This is all chocolate cake with IMBC icing and MMF decorations and a mixture of fillings using German BC. I mixed, chocolate ganache in some, Reeses mini cups, Oreos and White Chocolate in others. I had not tried doing stenciling on an IMBC cake, but found if it was really cold, it was not a problem. Made my own stencils with the Silhouette SD. The tiers are 10" square, 9" round, 5 1/2" square and 5" round. The cake was set up on a very slanted table, so I had to fiddle with the photo to make it look straighter.
This cake was quite a challenge. I wanted the square on the angle AND I wanted the point at the bottom. It is a Sweet Potato Cake with Cream cheese Caramel filling and icing, covered with MMF. The decorations are a variety of gumpaste, modeling chocolate. The flowers are clematis.
This cake was made for the First Annual Mizzou Cake Challenge. Judged by none other than Duff Goldman. I took Second Place in the amatuer division. It is tiger stripe cake with French Vanilla cake and Devil's Food marbled alternated with Chocolate Chocolate Chip with three different fillings. The Dome is sculpted out of Butter Pound cake. The sculpture is modeling chocolate over armatures of wire, rice krispie treats and gumpaste and with bronze lustre dust rubbed on.
I wanted to try the heart filled cake pan. This is a Black Velvet cake filled with Strawberry Cream Cheese Mousse and iced with White Chocolate flavored SMBC. The decorations are RI.

I made this dummy topsy for the Missouri State Fair. All fondant or gumpaste with a base I made out of a flower pot.
The cake part is the crown of the hat which is a Mexican Chocolate cake with a kick of cayenne pepper and cinnamon filled and covered with BC. The brim is gumpaste and the figure is fondant/gumpaste. It is arranged on a RI covered board made to look like corrugated roofing.
I made this flower bouquet after a Gumpaste class then Made a 6"to7" carrot cake filled with Clementine Orange Curd and Iced and filled with Crusting Cream Cheese frosting. I did the basket with blended colors in the bag.
Flavored with Diet Coke chocolate cake with Red Satin Ice and fondant water droplets. the bottle is cocoa Krispie treats covered with modeling chocolate. The "ice" is colored unflavored gelatine. "Coca-Cola" made by buttercream stencil.
This is my finale cake from Wilton Fondant/Gumpaste class. Underneath is all styrofoam. The last pictures are for a cake for a three-year-olds birthday and it is all cake except the torso of Snow White which is gumpaste and the dwarves are rice paper attached to gumpaste.
Easter hat is gumpaste brim and poppy, fondant ribbon and bow on a red velvet crown covered with cream cheese icing.
Finally made a dummy cake for the one that cancelled. I used cardboard boxes for a base and used Air-Dry BC for icing. The top boot is white chocolate. I had already made most of the decor. so thought I might as well use them for something. Because it was no longer a cake for somebody else, I took some design liberties. Took the horseshoes and stars off the second tier and went with the conchos. The last three pics were taken after adding the cowboy shirt detail that the former bride didn't want. I think it makes the cake look finished.
I've started a new project just to keep in practice. The goal is flowerw A-Z. This is the beginning.
This is the pattern for the revised cowboy boot. This one has the pointed toe and I built it with a higher and slanted heel.

German Chocolate cake with traditional coconut,pecan icing as filling. Bat and birds are RKT covered with fondant.
This cake was so much fun. It started with an idea someone wanted a western theme wedding cake, but never called. I loved the boots on a cake here so I modified them with pointed toes to look more like adult boots. I wanted to do the bandana from the start but the straw bales came as I was looking at pans. The 6 inch square cut in half was the proper porportions so I went with that. The cake is my special Creme Brulee cake which has whole egg butter cream inside and out. the bandana is chocolate fondant as is the board covering.
For a veteran back from Iraq. Half Chocolate and Half White filled with whole Egg Buttercream. Iced with SMBC and decorated with fondant
I really liked how the rose cupcakes turned out. I did a center rosette with a large star tip and then added a row of 104 petals around that. It is a French vanilla with Amer. BC. The mums are the Whim. Bakehouse Chocolate butter cake which is delish. and a scratch recipe that you can't mess up.
Inspired by all the wonderful garden themed cakes on CC. Botton tier and pansy cupcakes are Whimsical Bakehouse chocolate cake with chocolate chip filling.
