2 layer, 12" square cake. Used buttercream "petal" technique for the sides. Minecraft toys on top. (I didn't want or have time to make tiny squares out of fondant). From a distance doesn't look too bad...sorta minecraft-like. Easy and quick!
one 10" cake for bottom reel, one 8" cake for top reel, three 6" layers for popcorn tub. Fondant reels used template found on cake central, let it harden for about five days. Clacker is foam core. Just wrapped photos (printed on paper) around outside of each cake layer/buttercream icing prior to party. Popcorn is mini marshmallows dusted with gold/yellow petal dust.
Finished product. Inspired by pavigiri cake on cake central. All edible, all buttercream except stairs and 3-d tree house (fondant). Large 19x12 sheet cake.

Yellow minion: 3, 6 in. cakes + half ball cake. Purple minion: 4, 6 in. cakes + half ball cake. Buttercream with fondant accents (my kids don't like fondant). Made homemade cotton candy for the hair which was great (can't find pruple anywhere so made it). If you use be sure not to put it on until party time b/c the icing will cause it to soak up moisture and "melt" which is what I thought would happen. I also used bake strips to get even cake, but left cake super moist and mushy...evil minion started to sag, and the buttercream would not stick! UGH!
Simple 8" chocolate cake. Indy Debbie's buttercream icing. Ridged on purpose on sides for a little oomph. Used fondant and black food coloring marker to make the snoopy, woodstock, and speech bubble.

Just noticed sesnei wu hat not all the way on in this picture. oops!
Ombre effect icing using petal technique. 8" round.
10" and 6" cakes. Buttercream. Fondant foods, sun, caterpillar from Eric Carle's book. Small cupcake for the "smash" cake on top. Not my best leveling job...shifted a bit in transit.

Black and red theme bridal shower cake. 10" and 6" cakes. White buttercream, black and red fondant accents, red ribbon. Gumpaste flowers. First time trying to make a fondant bow...blah! Needed more strips to make it puffier...too flat.
Dad is big Andy Griffith fan. So just printed some images of show from google images and placed them in my Wilton cake display. Simple buttercream (I practiced some piping because my dad wouldn't mind). Quotes from the show written with black food color marker on white fondant.

8" tiers covered in fondant (my first fondant covered cake). Used real ribbon & gum paste flowers for Great Aunt's 90th.
10" and 8" buttercream iced, gum paste buildings (made way in advance so they weren't rounded to mold to cake, but oh well), toy spiderman. Used white icing on bottom tier b/c much easier to deal with (and eat) than red. Thanks to other CCers for ideas!
10", 8", 6" tiers. Buttercream with fondant and gum paste figures. Ship and dingy rkt covered in fondant. Had loads of trouble with buttercream. Anyone ever had trouble with "bad" pow sugar? It wanted to clump. Yuck.
Sheet cake for 15 yr old son who loves to fly (simulators for now). I loved the idea of this cake, but making an iPhone cake for his twin the same night + no time + ran out of fondant = bad looking air control tower. Blah. Tower made from rkt, covered in only one layer of fondant. I wanted to wrap it in gray "brick" pattern (from fondant roller). But that's that. Rest is buttercream with fondant airstrip, plane.
iPhone cake for my 15 yr old. He dictated the different apps for the cake. I really didn't want to do black icing. Maybe I should have tried ganache? Chocolate sheet cake with black buttercream icing with fondant accents. Yep, the white writing bled. I knew it would! Oh the things we do to satisfy our teens :)
Circus cake for my nephew. He dictated what he wanted on each tier. Vanilla, chocolate, and lemon cakes: 12, 10 and 8 inch. Very plain bottom borders due to travel & cake stand used (from now on I'll use smaller cakes for this one). Buttercream with fondant accents. Tent is rkt covered with fondant. Flags are scrapbook paper on popsicle sticks.
Woody from Toy Story. Chocolate and vanilla tiers. Buttercream icing, fondant accents. Woody toy on top. Thanks to all on CC for the great ideas!
Chocolate and vanilla cake tiers, iced in buttercream, fondant accents (including Buzz wings), toy Buzz on top of cake.
My first topsy turvy cake! 10" bottom (3 layers) and 6" top (3 layers). Buttercream frosting with fondant accents; the family doesn't like fondant all over the cake. Didn't taper the sides of the cake as much as I probably should have, but I wimped out! Overall, very happy with it. Was tricky getting the top layer in and out of the bottom layer without getting buttercream all over my fingers/spatula. Will have to work on that next time!
Curious George is a purcahsed toy. Hat and banana are fondant. Buttercream with fondant accents (diamonds, stripes, letters).
