Cindy Lou Who With Christmas Tree And Candy Canes
This is actually done for a baby shower with a Christmas Whoville theme. Hopefully Cindy Lou looks Cindy Lou enough for people to tell. Whimsical marble cake with a chocolate mousse filling, iced in buttercream, royal icing snow, and with fondant/gumpaste tree, candy canes, and Cindy Lou.

Fern Leaf Wedding Cake
...with a woodlands theme. I forgot my camera so this picture was graciously given to me... can still see the cake plate spikes of the top tier as the cake layer hadn't settled onto the third layer yet. Oh well. Bottom tier is chocolate with chocolate mousse filling, next up is yellow with lemon mousse filling, third is hummingbird with white chocolate mousse filling and the top tier is spice with cream cheese filling, all covered in fondant with buttercream ferns applied, gumpaste accents

Turkey Cake
The turkey tutorial was a great tool when doing this cake for my sister in law. Made it as a joke on her husband... white and chocolate layers with buttercream frosting... wings and drumsticks were rice krispie treats, fondant lettuce and white cake cubes for the stuffing. Was definitely a fun cake to make.

Pink And Brown Baby Shower Cake
I was asked to make this cake more "Feminine" for the mom to be, rather than babyish. I think it could use a few more baby things, but I'm afraid it will be too much. French vanilla white with lemon curd filling, iced in champagne pink fondant with brown fondant ribbon and bow, gumpaste blossoms and booties and buttercream leaves.

50Th Anniversary Cake With Gumpaste Flowers
Finally, someone wanted (as my DH calls them) a flowers and fru-fru cake! Torted french vanilla white with lemon mousse, iced and decorated in buttercream, with rose and stephanotis gumpaste floral spray. Couldn't for the life of me find my small 5 petal cutter so had to improvise and made the stephanotis blossoms from the calyx cutter. Kind of like the look of them... hope the customer doesn't notice.

Mich Turner Inspired Wedding Cake
from her "Spectacular Cakes" book. Done for a fellow Master Gardener for her second wedding. Her daughter hosted the small ceremony and reception at her house and the cake was set up on the kitchen counter of all places!?! She had rented a silver cake stand though and I brought some tulle to dress up the area. 9" bottom tier of hummingbird cake with banana buttercream filling, 6" top of yellow cake with chocolate buttercream filling, fondant icing with royal icing piping and gumpaste pearls.

Cheeseburger And Corn On The Cob Cake
Dark and decadent chocolate cake covered with RUMMF with chocolate rice krispie treat hamburger. Sesame seeds, cheese and lettuce are fondant. Corn on the cob is shaped rice krispie treat, first covered in fondant then buttercream kernels applied. Sorry for the bad pic, but it is scanned. I did this at our vacation home and didn't have my camera, so my sister in law was kind enough to give me one she took.
