Aiden's Jungle Party
This was inspired by the shower decor in my son's bathroom, his love of the jungle, zoo, and disney's animal kingdom!! This was his 3rd bday cake! He was sooooo excited and I LOVE how it turned out!! The only thing I forgot to add was his happy 3rd bday banner (was a very busy day)! Covered in fondant w/fondant animals. Was a little nervous about having BLUE palm trees and elephants...but that is what is on the shower curtains. But once it was together....the colors worked well together.

Fall Haverst
I loved how this one turned out!! Needed a fall/thanksgiving type cake w/no real instructions....she just wanted something pretty to put in the center of the table!! Iced in IMBC w/fondant decos and then airbrushed w/gold luster dust. I actually got two orders for the exact same cake!! This was inspired by eve's harvest cake from CC!!

Coconut Baseball!!??!!
When I talked to the dad about this cake he told me he wanted a cake in the shape of baseball w/coconut icing!!??!! So this is what I came up with! When I delivered it to him...I've never seen a more confused-shocked face from a customer!! My mom worked w/him so I asked her to find out if he liked it...and she said he was very confused and shocked b/c he'd never see a cake like that and wasn't expecting it! He thought he was getting a sheet cake w/a pic of a baseball! But he said he was very pleased!!

Pottery Barn Bermuda Starfish
This is actually a baby shower cake and I had a cute banner w/some flip flops, umbrella, and sand pail w/Welcome Baby Lucy on it....but the dang starfish kept falling off and broke it!! But this is the theme and colors from the room decor!! Iced in BC w/chocolate starfish and fondant plaid stripes! NOTE: choco starfish were extremly HEAVY and ended up FALLING off the cake, taking all the BC underneath w/it....so probably not a good idea to add them until at party location!! :)

Deer Head
Ok, I'm actually embarrased to post this one...didn't turn out very good and then I had to add blood and bullet holes (as specifically requested)!!! But I owe a HUGE thank you to ellantehalima for send the directions to her awesome deer head cake!! they were very good and easy to follow!! but anyway....here he is...the poor thing!! All BC except for the horns, leaves, and bday banner! TFL!!

Coffin Cake!!
Iced in BC and airbrushed black (sooooo much easier than trying to coloring the icing). Fondant leaves and ghost (marshmallows under the fondant sheet). Tombstone is actually just a piece of cardstock. Dirt is cake crumbs! This one was fun....was for a halloween/birthday party....as you can probably tell by the edible banners!! :)

Pink Princess Castle
Debbie Brown inspired!! All fondant, air brushed w/pink luster dust. I thought this was going to be fairly easy..boy was I wrong!! took me way tooo long and I def. didn't charge enough!! but oh well, the mom was happy and I MAY have a wedding cake order and 3 bday cake orders from this!! the towers were a pain in the rear and kept sliding down the side...wasn't sure how to make them lighter...they are all fondant. i finally stuck some toothpicks in the side and that helped. but they still slid some

Bratz Purse
Oh boy are these 'toys' interesting!! was told the bday girl loves Bratz, but the mom does NOT!! so had to come up w/a compromise....a bratz cake w/o the bratz girls. mom and daughter finally agreed on this!! it was pretty cool though b/c when i dropped the cake off.....the mom used the same wrapping for the gifts that i did on the cake board!! i was so worried this was going to fall over....the cake was 7.5" tall....w/o the handle!!! but I got lucky. inspired by boween and spoiledtoodef. TFL

Elegant Black & Red
Loved how this cake turned out. Had to travel an hour and half w/this....but luckily I was able to put it all together when I got there!! Was still nerve wrecking though!! Iced in BC w/black silk ribbon and purchased red gumpaste roses. Bride saw a similar cake done w/red bows, but wanted to do roses instead. She said she wanted simple & elegant!! TFL!

And the fondant figure is suppose to be a stuffed toy bunny!! didnt have much direction on this cake...was just told to make it green!! Iced in BC fondant box tops and bows.

Whimsy & Stars
This was decorated by me and my friend (bday boy's mom). I pretty much let her have free reign on what she wanted and let her do most of the work!! :) I had ALOT of problems w/the shapes of the cakes.....they turned out pretty 'bumpy' and kinda lopsided!! :( But my friend loved it...so I'm happy!!

Crown Of Jewels
It's done!! SO HAPPY TO BE DONE W/THIS ONE!! Everything is fondant, except for the non-edible rhinestones and premade gumpaste flowers. Bride cried when she saw it.....So as long as she is happy.....I'm happy!! She said she wanted a king's crown in gold w/a pink shimmer top and LOTS of BLING!! She said she wanted her cake to make a statement!! Well she got what she asked for!! :) TFL! and Thanks for everyone's help w/this one...I don't I would have be able to do w/out all you in CC!!

Pink & Gold Tiara
Yep...this cake is PINK...very BRIGHT pink!! This was a practice cake for a wedding I have to do next weekend where the colors are LOTS of PINK & LOTS of Gold, won't be the exact same cake...but same colors!! This cake was inpsired by one I found on the net. I used my airbrush for the first time and not sure why the color was so bright b/c the bottle said SOFT PINK!! But oh well, the decorations are either fondant or royal painted w/luster dust and the tiara is from a pattern I found here on CC!! TFL!!

Pacman
I figured PacMan is sort of a celebrity....so I put in him this category!! sheet cake is iced in BC, pacman and the ghost are covered in fondant! This was a HUGE hit w/all the kids at the party!! Thanks to everyone for the help w/the ghost. I ended up using an 8" round and cutting off one of the round ends on the bottom and sides and then standing it up. Just iced in BC and draped fondant over it! Was soooo easy!! TFL!
