"roman Temple In Field Of Flowers" Cake/cupcakes

My very first wedding cake, made for the wedding of two dear friends. They picked two cakes I had done previously and combined them. The cake is marble with rolled marbleized fondant and chocolate filling. The cupcakes are two dozen each of vanilla, lemon, chocolate raspberry and red velvet.

Castle In The Sand

This cake was made for the Cake4Kids Charity Cake-Off and Tasting. It's a mocha cake with buttercream frosting, liberally slathered in brown and raw sugar. I molded the seashells from white chocolate and painted them with food coloring and luster dust.

Floyd Flamingo Cake

I made this cake for a concert by Antsy McClain and the Trailer Park Troubadours. The design is Floyd Flamingo, the bands mascot. Much credit to the band members, who agreed to sign the cake in frosting!

Corset Cake

Cthulu Cake

A cake made for artist Lee Moyer, who created the drawing upon which the design is based.

Steampunk Spinning Gear Cakes

These four metallic gear cakes actually spun!

Graveyard Cupcakes

Made for Halloween 2007. Vegan chocolate cupcakes with vegan buttercream frosting and Milano cookie tombstones. (One tombstone was intentionally left off to keep that cupcake completely vegan for a co-worker.)

Baby Blocks Cakes

"Baby Blocks" cakes made from three 8x8 cakes cut into fourths. It's hard to see, but the cupcake in the top row is the apostrophe.
