My First Wedding Cake
A lot of firsts for me: the first wedding cake I've done (14-10-6), my first time using the SPS support system, and my first time using my new Magic Line pans (WORTH EVERY PENNY !!!). Cakes are dark chocolate with ganache filling and WASC with vanilla-almond filling, covered in Fondant, with fondant and gumpaste roses, petals and ribbon. I really struggled with the 14" until I realized it's much easier to move it around if it's partially frozen. I learned a lot but I'm really glad it's done because that's a LOT of fondant to roll out.

Chocolate cake with chocolate ganache and vanilla-almond buttercream filling. The cake is iced in vanilla-almond buttercream with a fondant lid & ribbon. I originally tried stenciling the pattern in royal icing, but my buttercream and the royal were not playing well together, so I ended up using an edible image instead. This cake was for a co-workers bridal shower.

The Residents
This cake was for a friend of a friend's birthday. They're big fans of the Avant-garde band "The Residents". I don't know much about the band, but it was a fun cake to make. Hopefully they'll like it. It's dark chocolate cake with chocolate ganache and vanilla-almond buttercream filling. The figures are fondant & gumpaste.

My Birthday Cake
I made this cake for my birthday. The bottom tier is dark chocolate cake with whipped ganache filling, the other two are dark chocolate cake with vanilla-almond buttercream filling. Satin Ice fondant & decorations. The design was inspired by one of Sugarshack's fabulous cakes, and I had a great time decorating it.

Winnie The Pooh Cupcakes
These were made for my niece's baby shower. I had to fly from Pennsylvania to Michigan with the cupcakes and toppers in my checked baggage, and believe it or not, nothing was broken or missing. The toppers were far from perfect, but she loved them, and that's all that counts.

Christmas Train
The train is all cake (WASC) with fondant decoration. There were also 4 boxcars behind the train, each filled with a different homemade dessert (caramels, cakeballs, chocolate covered strawberries & chocolate covered oreos). Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture of the whole thing together.

Halloween Village
Everything piece of the village is edible. The cakes are chocolate, spice, vanilla-almond & carrot cake, with ganache & buttercream fillings & icings. The decorations are all MMF, chocolate, sugarpaste, and a few rice krispie treats. The haunted house is 1/2 cake and 1/2 gingerbread with a strobe light inside to light up the windows. I had a blast making this cake, and my co-workers really seem to enjoy it. Happy Halloween!!!!

M&m Cake
I made this for a co-worker's birthday. Spice cake w/cinnamon cream cheese filling. She collects thing related to M&M's, Coca-Cola & the Wizard of Oz (playing on the TV), and she's a big Phillies fan. She also donates a lot of her time to breast cancer awareness issues. She's got a great sense of humor and always keeps us laughing at work. I really enjoyed making this cake for her. M&M & chair inspired by the wonderful works of PLSCakeLady

Andy Warhol Cake
My friend's daughter is turning 16 and she's a big fan of Andy Warhol's art. The cake is a 6" dark chocolate cake with chocolate ganache filling and vanilla-almond icing. The soup can is cake, fondant & edible image. I originally planned to stand it up, but it was just too tall for such a small cake, so I laid it down instead. Thanks to Relznik for all your help with the soup can.

Chocolate & Spice Cake
Devil's food with ganache filling and spice cake with cinnamon-spice cream cheese filling (tastes just like Cinnabon icing YUM!!!). Cake is covered in ganache /buttercream, with BC roses & I stenciled a design on the side. I'm just learning to do buttercream cakes, so it has LOTS of flaws, but I was really happy with the color combination.

Chocolate Cake
I made this cake for my husband. Layer 1 is chocolate w/peanut butter filling & fudge icing, Layer 2 is chocolate with fudge filling and a chocolate transfer/wrap. Layer 3 is chocolate with strawberry filling & chocolate covered strawberries. I'm glad he's taking it to work tomorrow, because it smells incredible, and chocolate is my weakness.
