Princess & The Frog
This one was for a friend's 2 yr old daughter. The tree is a dowel wrapped with wire for the branches, covered in rice crispy treats and painted with chocolate. The top of the tree was also rice crispy treats covered in MM fondant. Next time I try this I'll use a heavier gauge wire as the branches started to give way eventually. All decorations (except dolls) are from MM fondant.

Flowers & Butterflies
My daughter's 3rd birthday cake. Her only requirement was pink. Lots of flowers and butterflies, at the last minute she wanted some hearts. Everything, except the butterflies, is made of marshmallow fondant. I tried to use all natural food coloring, and I think the only thing that didn't end up using just the natural food coloring was the strawberries.

Chocolate Overload
All 3 tiers are chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream. Covered in chocolate buttercream and chocolate ganache and chocolate dipped farmer's market fresh strawberries. Originally it was supposed to be square but I had issues finding square pans in the sizes I needed, so she was happy enough to go with round. She cried when she saw it, everyone loved it and it was delicious, as I got to have some being at the wedding and all.

Cadenasso Cake
I made this cake for my son's preschool teacher's birthday. Her father owned the Cadenasso winery in our area. Both tiers are covered in fondant. The grapes are made of gumpaste. The wine bottle is made from rice krispy treat (premade) covered in fondant, the writing is piped with buttercream. The grape leaves are fake, I didn't have time to order a veiner to make them on my own.

Pink & Brown Cake
Covered in pink fondant, brown ribbons from dark chocolate fondant. The pink ribbons on top of the cake and the daisies are made of gumpaste and dusted with orchid pink pearl dust. The thin lines are piped with pink buttercream, I don't like them, next time I'll use fondant for a cleaner line. But hey, it was just for practice :)

Christmas Holly Cake
Vanilla Peppermint cake covered with red Satin Ice fondant. Holly leaves and berries made from fondant and white ribbons made from gumpaste. The sides of the cake are slightly concave and there is platinum luster dust on the edges of the ribbons and aztec gold (only gold I had) luster dust on the berries.

Peppermint Buttercream Christmas Cake
This a last minute cake for a small Christmas Party of mine, I didn't get my fondant ordered in time to get the cake covered so I stuck with Buttercream. The bottom layer is peppermint vanilla and the top was peppermint chocolate with peppermint buttercream, it was a hit. I started out intending to smooth out the buttercream with the viva method but I just ended up not doing it. It was dusted with pearl dust, so there was a subtle sheen that can't really be seen in the photo.
