Dads Root Beer Mug
This is the cake I made for Father's Day this year. I got the idea from Bakery Crafts 2009 issue. Their picture does not have the Dad's Root Beer can suspended above it. I added that to mine based on all the beer mugs I have seen. The pouring RB is chocolate fondant rapped around a dowel with a little gold lust dust brushed on.

Leopard Print
6"x10" fondant covered. Fondant sides and fondant top were cut and applied separate because of the 10" height. A top seam and back seam are visable but look o.k. Hand cut leopard spots, which took a ton of time. Small flowers and leaves in the center to cover up an issue. Hope it looks o.k. TFL

Shavon's Wedding Cake
I used an embossed rolling pin for the texture on the fondant, and used my favorite recipe, the Better White Scratch Cake, crumbcoated with vanilla bc and filled with strawberry filling. Bride made no requests except to say her colors were green/ black/white. She was so thrilled!

Whimsical Flower
My niece gave me a darling card for making a cake for her. The card had such a cute design that I saved it so that I could make a cake like it someday. This is the cake I made to match the card. (The cake is a fake cake covered in fondant. I wanted to be able to have it displayed on my counter, for fun, in my cute new cake pedistal). I loved how the cake turned out and love my new pedistal!

Nfsc Easter Bunnies
The print on these cookies were made with some kind of metal template I bought on sale at the craft store. I'm not sure what they were suposed to be used for, maybe card making,. I set the template on top of a piece of fondant and rolled a rolling pin over the top. I wasn't sure how to finish the sides of the cookie. Not sure I like how I did finish the sides. Any suggestions on that are welcome.

Football Player Birthday/halloween
Made this for my neighbors son's 18th birhtday. He plays football for the local high school. I was disapointed with the green color I used for the grass but the party was also at Halloween time so I guess it could have been worse. I do like how the football turned out. The cake seemed a little juvenile with the cupcakes and color but I didn't have a lot of notice to come up with lots of ideas. Anyway they seemed to like the cake. Please pm me and let me know what you would have charged for the cake. It was a chocolate 12x18 with oreo filling plus the oreo filled cupcakes. I made it to serve 39 I believe. (I don't follow the wilton chart. I use another chart that yeilds bigger servings. I like it that way) Also the picture was taken before I added his name made with dark blue fondant and funky tappits. TFL
