1St Birthday
Ok, so I know in the photo the cake looks like its kinda leaning, but its just a bad camera angle, that thing was ramrod straight. A cake for my godson's 1st birthday, MacsMom's rainbowlicious cake inside and all about stars on the outside. He loved it. Decorations are all made out of fondant. Stars had some tylose added to make them dry a bit harder. The number 1 on top, same thing, tylose to make it dry harder. Next thing is to take some photo classes, cause darn it I was lovin this cake until I see that it looks like its leaning in the picture.

Christening Cake
Ok, so it is not really a Communion cake, but it fits in this folder better than anywhere else. The animals are made with the help of Lorraine (Aine2)'s youtube video on the 'cheeky sheep' (I just love her accent) the lion was a creation of my own. The cake was cut from a quarter sheet, iced, and covered in fondant. All of the letters, animals, and flowers are fondant with tylose added to harden the fondant. The lamb also has royal icing for fur, in case you were wondering what those little piped balls were. Hand rolled pearls at the bottom with pearl dust for a bit of shine. The flavors are vanilla bean BC and french vanilla bean cake.

The Lion And The Lamb
A lion and a lamb made for a Chrsitening cake. The lion I tweaked on my own, but Aine2's lamb tutorial on youtube was the inspiration for the lamb. The lion is a little smaller than the lamb, but I think thats mostly because I had to pipe on top of him and didnt really take that into account when I was sizing the figures. Ahh well, live and learn...

Cinderelly's Mouse Friend
Ok, so I am hooked! Aine2 makes figurines look so easy, that I just had to apply her methods to this mouse. She gave me great advice on this one, and was really supportive. Fondant spiked with some Tylose Powder to make it dry harder. Made for a 4 year old's Cinderella birthday cake. The cake itself was inspired by freubelmuisje, who did a beautiful job. I hope to half that good one day. TFL!

Scrub top nurse cake, cut from a 6X10 pan. Vanilla bean cake with fudgy chocolate frosting. Covered in MMF, with MMF accents like the stethoscope and the scissors. I made it for my best friend's suprise birthday party, she just became a nurse this year, that I threw her at a small restaurant, she was so suprised and thrilled she cried! Best compliment ever!

Princess Castle Cake
Dark chocolate cake filled with fudge frosting. Covered in MMF. The towers are paper towel rolls covered in fondant, the spires are ice cream cones covered in MMF shingles. BC grass and water. It was a lot of hard work, but the birthday girl LOVED it, and I really learned a lot. I would do a few things differently, but all in all I am pretty pleased. TFL!

Bucket O' Beer
I want to say first and foremost that I couldnt have done this without Doug, Jan and Sue! You guys are WONDERFUL! Chocolate cake filled with peanut butter filling, and frosted with chocolate ganache. The actual cake is a circle around a styrofoam bucket in the middle where there is REAL beer and ice cubes. Covered with MMF, chocolate MMF panels on the sides, clear hard rock candy to represent ice on the top edges, and a GP sign on the front. It was a lot of hard work, but turned out so well! Thanks!

Pineapple Under The Sea
Its Spongebob's House! Made for a good friend's son's first birthday. This was his personal smash cake. The pineapple was carved from 2 4-inch rounds and a mini ball for the top. Chocolate cake with chocolate BC. Covered in fondant. Spongebob and Patrick are chocolate transfers (my first ones!). The seaweed is RI, the rocks are marbled fondant, and the bushes/flowers are chocolate. . I am sorry that I forgot to take out the toothpicks before I took a picture of the cake. Thanks for Looking!

First Birthday Cake
Chocolate tier filled with chocolate ganache, vanilla tier filled with vanilla bean buttercream. The top is the giant cupcake, injected with chocolate ganache. First of all, I forgot my camera so this is someone else's photo, and its out of focus, and looks like my cake is leaning, it wasnt I promise! I got lots of inspiration for the cake from everyone here. The mom loved the photos that she saw here. The cake turned out ok, but I wasnt super crazy about it. Thanks for Looking!

30Th Birthday Cake
A cinnamon bun cake, frosted with cream cheese icing. Covered with MMF. All of the decorations are MMF. Jeans on the bottom, his volleyball tee-shirt oin the middle, and his Kentucky Wildcats hat on top. The hat gave me the most trouble, the fondant would just not cooperate! The jeans has a better view from the front, but the tee-shirt kinds gets lost, maybe one of these days I will have time to make collages. Thanks for Looking!

Disney Cars Cake
Disney Cars cake made for my sons 2nd birthday. Fudgy chocolate cake, filled with chocolate ganache. Covered with MMF, and MMF decorations. The cars are a set that I got at the Disney store, but all of the rest of the decorations are MMF including the traffic light. There are a couple of things that I would change, but all in all I am pretty proud. Thanks for looking!

Flower Garden
My first 3 tier cake! The supports werent that great, so it sagged a little on the bottom layer, but still I was pretty proud. Strawberry tier filled with strawberry whipped cream icing, chocolate tier filled with chocolate ganache icing, and a french vanilla tier filled with a vanilla bean buttercream. Covered with MMF, and MMF accents. No I did not make the flowers, I didnt have the time, they are silk, but the bugs are fondant.
