Petrucia's 40Th
I made this for a friend's birthday, trying to practice icing square cakes. Corners are still a bit ehhh but we're working on it. I tried using a textured mat for the sides and it would not take properly for nothing! I just finally left it alone. Gumpaste flowers, white chocolate cake w/caramel filling on top tier. Dark chocolate cake with caramel filling on bottom tier. TFL!

Champagne For Chrystle
This was my first wedding cake, wasn't too thrilled on her insistence on the plates/pillars but she gave me some freedom on the decor. I think it turned out pretty well. All buttercream with different designs on each tier, champagne colored satin ribbon and pearls. Gumpaste orchids and cala lilies and a gumpaste monogram topper. Cake was chocolate fudge for two tiers and lemon for the others.

Hawaiian Wedding Shower
This was for a coworker. Big thank you to GrammaSue for her directions on the hibiscus flowers. Didn't come out to bad with the limited tools I had. The doll and cupcakes were all "pina colada" cake. Wasn't too crazy about that recipe (not enough pineapple or coconut taste for me) but everyone loved them.

Brain
A first and rough attempt at doing this for a woman that wanted a "brain cake". She is a psychology professor at a university here. Most unusual request to date but was fun to do. I am no anatomy expert! :) Cake was strawberry cream with strawberry filling and strawberry buttercream. No gray coloring, she didn't want gross. :) "Brainwaves" are the border.
