Green And Yellow Quince
2 satellites are red velvet with raspberry filling and vanilla almond BC, 2 are chocolate with raspberry and vanilla almond BC, the doll satellites are vanilla with raspberry and vanilla almond BC. The main cake is a 16" vanilla with raspberry and vanilla almond BC. I got the swirl design idea from the new Cascade all-in-one paks. I am happy with the way this came out.

Felix The Lsd Cat
I found this pic from 2 years ago. This was my first cake. First fondant. First carved. First anything. This unintentionally sphinx-like blue beast is composed of FOUR 11x15's, approximately 30" long and 18" high at the head. The tail that looks like a stream of blue doodie is actually solid fondant. Although his head looks at best like RKT and at worst like fondant-covered broccoli, it's actually cake too. I don't know what I was thinking. Enjoy!

Tiffany's Cake
This was a very involved cake for a special young woman based on Alan's (Global Sugar Art) design. I've known this young lady for a very long time. Her uncle was my ex-brother-in-law who passed away suddenly in '08. There are 3 "themes" to this cake: 18th birthday, graduation, and heading out to Air Force boot camp. The bottom tier is a 2-layer full sheet cake: Vanilla with white chocolate BC. Middle Tier is a 2 layer 1/2 sheet: Strawberry with fresh strawberries and cream filling, and vanilla BC. Top tier is a 2 layer 1/4 sheet: Chocolate fudge with chocolate mousse filling and milk chocolate BC. Diploma, banner, and graduation hat top are all GP. Bottom of graduation hat is RKT and fondant. Rest of the details are 50/50 mixed. I am a CSM and as always- Thanks for looking!

Western Sunflower Anniversary
This is my sister's 1st anniversary cake. She opted not to keep the top tier of the wedding cake so I told her not to worry that I would make her one. While I like the original better, it came out ok. GP sunflowers, silk butterflies, real raffia. This is an 8" butter pecan with caramel simple syrup and reduced sugar decorators frosting covered with fondant. I am a CSM and as always, Thanks for looking.

Baseball Cap Bill
Came to search for BB cap bill and didn't find anything. I stole a cap from DH and uhhhh, took it apart. Here is the bill. If you print it out in an 8x10 size it comes out life size. Print out the template on card stock in an 8x10 size and cut it out. Roll out your gumpaste to a medium thickness, cut out the brim. Take your paper template, (you can also use a plastic stencil for a permanent template) roll it into a loose roll then let it unroll. You want it to be curved like a real brim,. Lay the cutout on the template to dry.

It was a long time in coming but SO WORTH IT!

These are chocolate cuppies with cream cheese frosting, 3rd of four orders for the same event. I dipped the bottoms in candy melts to simulate terracotta pots.

I added candy to the center for glue. The customer called me the next day and raved about how good (and moist) these were! I am a CSM and as always, Thanks for looking!
