Christmas Ornament Cupcakes
I've wanted to try these for years! Finally did. I used a half ball of cake on top of a regular sized cupcake. Covered in fondant. Next time I might go with a jumbo cupcake because the weight of the half ball started to buckle the sides of the cupcake. Still I am thrilled with how they turned out!

Mushroom Pizza Cake
I made this cake as a gift for my friend's wedding-it's the groom's cake. They love to order Mushroom Pizza! It's chocolate cake covered in MMF. I watered down some brown gel food color and swabbed it on with a wadded up paper towel. The mushrooms are fondant and the cheese is shredded white chocolate.

Bucket Of Beer
I used MMF mixed with some GumTex for the wood strips. Thanks to SweetResults and all the posters on that forum for the guide to making the sugar beer bottles and ice!! The labels and caps are from real beer bottles-I don't have an edible image printer. My friend was ecstatic! Fun cake to make.

Old Russell High School
This was 5 quarter sheet cakes stacked and iced in almond buttercream. I used a brick press/mat to make the bricks. Accents are fondant. This was for my dad's 50th High School Reunion. The building is no longer used as a school (and might not even be there anymore)! It was a hit-even with the crooked windows : )
