Wine Press
A cake I made for a chocolate and champagne celebration, the theme this year was vineyards. 10" round iced in chocolate icing, 50/50 paste wooden slats, wood grain done with an impression mat. Painted with paste colors thinned with Everclear. Gumpaste grapes on top, Latex grapes and silk leaves at base. I made the handle of the press with a paper towel roll covered in fondant, a doweling push through the sides and also covered with fondant.

Tribute To Dr. Seuss
Again, not a wedding cake but I don't see a whimsy cake category. Thank you Ted Geisel for your wonderful inspiration. This is actually a styrofoam cake dummy made for a friend who doesn't eat sweets. She collects and loves anything Seuss so this was my Christmas gift to her. Covered in fondant with gumpaste decorations.

Chocolate Textured Purse Cake
Chocolate squares cakes stood on end, iced in chocolate icng and wrapped in pink chocolate texture sheets with gumpaste Orchid and keys. The texture sheets are not the same as transfer sheets. These are sheets of clear plastic with an embossed design texture in the plastic. This one was Crocodile hide pattern.

Whimsy On Whimsical Cake Plate
Not sure what category this should go in, it is a whimsy cake but not a wedding cake. Made for my daughters birthday and displayed on a wonderful, wacky cake plate my best friend gave to me at Christmas. All fondant decorations except the shoe ornament on top and the gumpaste bows.
