Kitchen (Cleaning) Fairy
I made this just for fun after reading a thread about a month ago and a few of the members wished they had a kitchen fairy to clean up all the mess for baking/decorating. Well, here she is!!! LOL :D She's made from gumpaste, wings are rice paper, cloth & pot are fondant. I stuck her in a cup so I could take the pics. :)

Ian's 9Th
Cakes are a carved baseball bat and a ball pan baseball cake. Cakes are lemon with lemon curd filling, lemon BC icing. Scoreboard is royal icing. ...... Sorry for the poor quality pic. It is another I found while rooting through old snapshots (pre- digital camera & computer). Sorry too for reflection from flash on foil. Not a good shot of bat either, it wasn't quite that chunky looking like that. Should have taken a side shot.

Family Reunion
Our 1st reunion held at a niece's home. I used the Wilton 18'' half round pan. First cake was chocolate cake/icing with icing & nutella filling. Second half was strawberry cake/icing with icing/strawberry filling (from can). I put the cakes together to make one huge cake then covered it with fondant. Leaves were royal icing, faces were tinted white chocolate, writing was icing, fondant lace around base.

Birthday Cake - Masonic
My son's 43rd b'day. Another lemon explosion cake; lemon cake, lemon BC icing, lemon MMF fondant & decorations, sparkle dust. I used a cutter for the leaves but had to draw & cut out the Masonic symbol. The leaves are painted antique gold. The symbol too is painted with luster dust antique gold and super blue. The symbol was difficult for me, since it was the first time I had to draw & cut it. I'm happy with it.

Aidan's First Birthday Cake
My son, father of Aidan, made this cake. I think he did a great job carving the shape correctly. He carved it to look the same shape as Aidan's bottles with the curve at the top. All lemon cake, buttercream, & filling. We found out Aidan loved lemon when he took a fresh lemon from my cart, bit it & like it! MMMMMmmmmmmmmmWOW Grammy helped by tracing Adidan's hands & feet then doing them with fondant. What a job tracing his hands & feet!!!

I have so much love and respect for all who fought & gave their lives and for all who are still fighting for it that I created this cake in their honor. The 12", two layer spice cake is iced & filled with BC. I made the soldier, flag, swags and ribbons using fondant.

Castle Cake
White cake and vanilla icing. My granddaughter's choice (YUCK . . I hate vanilla). Her 18th birthday! Yikes! Fondant covers cakes & towers/turrets. Large candles were used for the towers. Antique bronze luster dust for the cone tops and a few other places. Soft black and brown petal dust was used to give an aged appearance. Unfortunately I didn't finsh decorating and rushed the last of what I did. I didn't think it would take so long to do! Good thing it was a free family cake!
