Cultural Enrichment Cake
WASC cakes with Raspberry filling. Books and violin covered in MMF. Photo, masks and sheet music are edible images on chocolate. Other decorations are made of chocolate and/or MMF. I made this cake for a Cultural Enrichment cake raffle at work. People really seemed to enjoy it. Thanks to RiLinNa for her help with the violin.

Patriotic Cake
Marble Cake with vanilla-nut filling, and strawberry cake with strawberry jam/buttercream filling. Covered in MMF and all decorations are MMF. I made this cake for a cake raffle at work. My inspiration was Nunuk's cake, which was absolutely flawless. Mine is far from flawless, but everybody loved it, so I'm happy with it.

I made these cakes for a co-workers 10 year old twin's birthday. She let them come up with their own designs. One wanted white cake with Pokemon Cyndaquil and flames, and the other wanted chocolate with a monkey on a toilet. I guess that's what she gets for letting 10 year old boys design their own cakes! Hopefully they enjoyed them.

Cake For A Cause
I made this cake for a charity raffle at work. Not only did the winner "take the cake", but all proceeds from the raffle were donated to the non-profit charity of the winner's choice (The Red Cross). I had so much fun making this cake. It's a 12" dark chocolate with ganache filling, 8" vanilla-almond with buttercream filling, both covered in MMF. The castle is white chocolate. The mermaid, shells, and other figures are MMF and/or white chocolate.

Stork & Baby
Made for a family member's baby shower. Vanilla cake with chocolate mousse filling (8" & 5"). Covered in MMF. Figures and flowers are MMF & Gumpaste. I fell in love with this (Sweet & Precious Ideas) design the first time I saw it and couldn't wait to try it, even though I knew the flowers were way out of my league. I learned a lot and the mom-to-be loved it...what else could a cake newbie ask for!

25Th Anniversary
This was my first attempt at a 3-layer stacked cake - made for a family member's 25th anniversary. Bottom layer is chocolate with ganache filling, middle is white with raspberry mousse filling, and top layer is vanilla with almond BC filling. For some reason, the top edges of all 3 cakes were ragged and crumbly, but I just glued it all together with icing, slapped the fondant on...and thankfully it seemed to hold tight for the 2+ hour drive. (p.s. I did remove the cardboards underneath before the party!)

Charlie Brown Christmas
WASC with raspberry filling & Chocolate with chocolate chip fudge filling. Characters are marshmallow fondant. Design inspired by V_holtkamp & a "Rudolph" cake I saw on CC (but can't find again to give credit). The characters took forever and they're FAR from perfect, but the kids at our family gathering loved them. I'm proud to say, I barely flinched when my nephew promptly ripped snoopy off of the cake and bit his head off !!!

Lrm Baby Shower
I made this for a co-workers baby shower. My first fondant (MMF) cake. It's far from perfect, but it made so many people smile that I can't help but happy with the results. Bottom layer is chocolate, top is coconut. Covered in MMF & figures are MMF. Inspired by Wilton cake & various cakes on CC.
