Mom's Birthday Cake
I made this for my mom's bday. Chocolate cake with cherry filling and chocolate fondant. This was my first fondant rose and I had no idea what I was doing. I think I need a class! lol The reason the fondant isn't totally smooth on top is at first I made a fondant loopy bow and I had the loops on toothpicks sticking into the middle and it didn't turn out so I took it out. That's what caused the creases on top. Thanks for looking!

Jonah's Pirate Ship B-Day Cake
I did this for my son's 3rd bday. He wanted Peter Pan pirate ship cake. I bought the Peter Pan toys to put on it. WASC MMF. It took me ALL DAY to do this but it was worth it to see the smile on my little guy's face! Thanks to all of you here on CC helping me out, I couldn't do it without you guys!!!

Morgan's Bridal Shower
WASC with raspberry filling and MMF. All fondant. I wasn't too happy with this one, There were a ton of flaws! You can't see many of them in this picture but believe me, they are there! I mixed raspberry jam with buttercream, I think I used too much jam because it soaked into the cake. It tasted good but didn't look very nice when we cut it. I was kind of embarrassed. Oh well, live and learn. Thanks for looking!

Giraffe Cake
This was my first order for a complete stranger. I think I put WAY too many dots on it. I didn't realize it til my mom said it and it was too late to change, then I felt all embarressed about it! What do you guys think? Is there too many dots? It was buttercream with fondant accents and my first fondant figure that actually turned out. Thanks for looking!!!

Buttercream, chocolate clay straps and fondant fishing flies. Thank you all for helping with this one! I needed it!

1St Birthday Cakes
I did these for my twins first birthday. They are from a Wilton Yearbook. I really wish I would have put some hair on them though! I had a hard time with these because the cakes were just falling apart as I was frosting them. Eeeerrr!! I know they're not perfect but the more I fussed with them the worse they got! Thanks for looking, it's all buttercream.

Chocolate, Chocolate And More Chocolate
I made this for my cousin's birthday, she wanted chocolate so that's what she got! Chocolate cake, chocolate caramel filling, chocolate syrup frosting and chocolate ganache. I have a stomach ache just typing that out! LOL. This was my first ganache, it pretty much turned out to be a big leaning pile of chocolate! Thanks for looking!

Girl Baby Shower Cake
This was my first time using fondant. It didn't go too smoothly! I almost gave up but I really wanted to get at least one under my belt! I wasn't sure if it needed something else or not? It looks a little plain. I got the pattern for the baby shoes from JaneK, thanks Jane! It's white almond cake with strawberry cream filling. Thanks for looking! P.S. How do you not get creases along the sides on the bottom? EER!

Hello Kitty Cake
This was for my cousin's daughter. It's confetti cake, that's what she wanted, with chocolate mousse filling and all buttercream. I got the idea from SweetDreams, thank you! Although hers was much better!! I was going to use the fondant accents but by that time I was too tired so I just went with buttercream! Thanks for looking!

Halloween/birthday Cake
Again, I got my ideas from CC. Thank you! It's chocolate cake with chocolate fudge filling. I still need to add pumpkins so it's not completely finished, but I won't have them until I get to the party tomorrow. I think I overbaked the cake... we'll find out! Oh, and I completely forgot to smooth the icing. I always use the Viva method and... just forgot! Plus my I had some help from my 2 yr. old son!

Elmo Cake
I got my ideas for this cake from fellow CCers, Elmo's eyes are cake scraps rolled in to balls covered in buttercream. I love using that grass tip, he turned out pretty cute and furry looking! You can't see well in the photo, I had black royal left over from Halloween cookies so I used it for Elmo's mouth and eyes and it looked really neat. It gave it a little more of a realistic touch!
