Birthday
This is my first time using fondant. I made a traditional white cake with a thick frosting filling. ON THe outside I spread homemade buttercream and used food coloring to create the different colors of fondant for the "wrapping", bow, ribbons and tag. I used writing icing to create the swirls and "happy birthday" and finally i surrounded the bottom of the cake with left over buttercream but added pink for color and strawberry flavoring. This was for mom's birthday..HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!

Watermelon Cake
This cake was inspired by my sister, who loves watermelon. I used it as a birthday cake but I think it would make a great 4th of July cake (something differernt from the usual American flag). The cake was strawberry, in four layers (2 round cakes split) with a dabb of strawberry icing, strawberry icing on top and outling the bottom, vanilla icing with green food coloring on the outside for the rind and chocolate chips were set at the top to play the "seeds".

Fisherman Birthday Cake
I made this cake for my dad who is a big fisherman. All my life "fishing" has played the main theme in all his brithdays but I believe this cake made a lasting impression. I created the cake by using the decorations I had already in hand and a lot of imagination. The cake was spice flavored with cream cheese icing. There were 4 layers (2 cakes split in half) with a dab of icing between each layer, the plastic toys I bought from a craft store, food coloring for the water and chocolate chips for dirt and rock
