Cap And Gown
This was for my niece's high school graduation. Gown is red velvet with cheesecake mousse filling and cap is French vanilla with chocolate mousse filling. Fondant was a little tricky to work with and got really shiny after being in the fridge. Anyone know any tricks for keeping it from going shiny? Thanks for looking!

Birthday Dress
This was for my niece's 17th birthday. She wanted a doll cake like the one she had when she was little. This was our grown-up version. Thanks to all the CC'ers who did the bridal gown cakes and gave me the inspiration. I have you all to thank for the idea of covering the doll in black and making a dress form. It was a big hit! Cake is orange cream confetti with buttercream and fondant. TFL!

Bella Conflicted
This cake represents Bella being caught between the two men she adores. The Cullen crest represents Edward and the "life" she could have with him (also reminiscent of Alice's Cullen Crest necklace worn in the movie). The other image, the tattoo every member of the wolf pack shares, represents Jacob and the life Bella would keep if she chose him. The middle tier is blank, in a way, but also "torn" with the two colors. The actual cake was red velvet with chocolate mousse, buttercream and fondant. Tulip was gumpaste, ribbon and buttons were real and hand-made.

Ashley Sweet 16
This was for my niece's 16th birthday. She requested purple with some silver, but I surprised her with the zebra print because she has it all over her bedroom. She was so excited! Cakes are funfetti with raspberry filling and chocolate with bavarian cream. Bow and 16 are gumpaste. Everything else is fondant. TFL!

Princess Castle Cake
Cake was for my daughter's 5th birthday. Bottom cake is a dummy, top is strawberry with lemon filling, BC and Michelle Foster's fondant. Princesses are toys I placed on top and towers are made out of different ice cream cones "glued" together with RI and dipped in white chocolate (sugar cones were also rolled in pink sugar after chocolate coating). Thanks for other CCers who helped inspire this design.

Michelle
Not my favorite design ever, but what the bride wanted. Plus, it was so hot that day that I did the swiss dots upside down and one of the bridesmaids made a comment about them looking like Mickey Mouse. Ouch. Wish I'd caught that one! Cakes are carrot w/ cream cheese filling, WASC with choc. chips and white chocolate mousse filling, lemon with raspberry and french vanilla (marbled) with raspberry filling. Frosting is IMBC and brown accents were colored with cocoa powder. Ribbon and flowers are real.

Whitney
6, 10, 12 inch cakes, WASC with bavarian cream filling, Tami's Perfect BC and Michelle Foster's fondant. Ribbon is gross grain and satin. Bride wanted to incorporate some vines she had free-handed onto her wedding invitations so I was a little nervous, but I think she was happy with my interpretation. Thanks for looking!

Bridal Shower Gown
Bride's wedding colors are red and black, but the shower invitations had pink on them so we incorporated all the colors using satin ribbon for the black. Cake was chocolate with raspberry filling, IMBC, and Michelle Foster's fondant. I love using "Duff's Method" for the roses. Thanks to all those who gave information on here and for all the CC'rs who gave inspiration for this cake.

Flower Birthday Cake
This cake was for my daughter's 2nd birthday AND my sister's 27th. I had to do something girly that was ageless. Thanks for the inspiration from CC members I came up with this. Bottom cake was dark chocolate with raspberry filling, top was lemon with raspberry and both are frosted in Sam's club BC.

Fairy Birthday Cake
Made for my daughter's 4th birthday. Cake is french vanilla with mini chocolate chips, BC and Michelle Foster's Fondant. Cake is patterned after the one in Debbie Brown's book. My daughter was so excited with the fairy that she let all her girl cousins take little bites of her! I know, weird, but she LOVED it (and they loved the fondant)!

Duck Cake
I had extra cake from a tasting and wanted to try a new design. I took it to a family dinner and it was funny hearing all the questions of, "why is there a duck on the cake?" I wish I had more time to do some finishing details, but it was fun to make. Cakes are lemon poppy, chocolate with choc. mousse, carrot with bavarian cream, BC and Rhonda's fondant.

Cowboy Cake
This was for my son's 5th birthday. I found many great cowboy ideas on here, but didn't want to make use black or red (for the bandana look) so I used Woody's clothes for inspiration instead. Cake is butter yellow with mini chocolate chips, bavarian cream filling, BC and almond MMF. Toys are part of a collector's set. Thanks for looking!
