Dog Birthday Cake
Inspired by others on this site. For my niece's birthday. The dog looks like her pet "Tiny." It was made of cupcakes and pieces of cake, then BC "hair" was added with a No. 233 tip. Bottom tier in chocolate with chocolate buttercream filllin, iced in BC. This was so much fun to make and to see my niece's face when she saw it!

My first attempt making a guitar replica! 3/4-lifesize of my son's favorite guitar. Overall length - 36 in. Body of the guitar was carved from a 12 x 18 sheet cake, torted and filled with BC, covered with BC, then fondant placed on top only. Airbrushed dark color shading and painted lightning bolts with thinned white food color. Neck and headstock were carved of styrofoam then covered with fondant. Accent pieces were gumpaste. Did not add strings - couldn't find anything that looked right. My son loved it!
