Munich Derby
Munich has two official teams - FC Bayern München and TSV 1860 and you're ONLY either a Bayern Fan or a Löwen Fan, you can't be both. It's sort of like watching the raiders vs the 49ers, only worse, because these guys share the same area code. This cake is for twin boys who will never get along.

Jim Beam Cake
two layers of coca-cola cake filled with jim beam bourbon whiskey vanilla mousse, iced in cola-flavored buttercream. label and cap are made of tinted chocolate. i messed up the letters and the black chocolate bled into the white so it looks kind of messy :P i'll do better next time :) *legal drinking age in germany is 18. **my pictures are still crappy :P my camera's being serviced and i'm using a loaner until it's back.

Vera's Birthday Cake
chocolate-coated chocolate cake decorated with fresh tulips :) my friend vera loves dark chocolate, tulips, and the color pink. i thought i'd combine all these elements to make her a birthday cake. i'm not too happy with the chocolate coating, though. i think it could be much smoother. i hope i can do better next time.

Butterfly Birthday
i made this for my best friend. he loves mariah carey and "butterfly" is one of our favorite songs. yellow cake filled with strawberries and cream, frosted with fresh whipped cream, and decorated with chocolate butterflies and dots. i forgot to put little blobs of cream under the butterflies to prop them up a little bit for a 3D effect :( i messed up some of the cake surface when i tried to fix it.
