Twilight/ Edward Cake.
Oooh, sometimes I just go back to this cake just to stare at it. lol (Twilight fans will relate!) Very simple and easy to do. Rice paper images. And Edwards face has sparkle on it and it looked just like it did on the movie!!! the birthday girl took a looong time to cut the cake. Devils food cake with rapsberry filling.

Darth Vader
This was one of the harder cakes I've done. I simply have to give many many thanks to BakingGirl. (CC member) She answered my many questions about making this cake. (Among other tips!) THANKS ANNE!!! I added a music feature to this cake. I ripped out the song piece from a musical card and placed it on the cakeboard hidded by the base paper. It played the march of the bad guys song from Star Wars. (Not sure of the real name.) The birthday boy loved it! It was my first time delivering to a mall. That was an experience! I was so freaked out that I would drop it. But it was very nice to hear total strangers say, "did you MAKE that?!" Oh, and the lower half of the helmet is black tag board. (grrr) I had so much trouble with the fondant and gumpaste its not even funny. And I didn't want the helmet to go all the way to the base and not be anatomically correct, so tag board it is. I am still pleased with the outcome regardless. :)

Shoe Box Cake
believe it or not this is a VERY easy cake to make! Basic rectangle shape, lid is lifted by a higher dowel on one side. Tissue paper is gumpaste. I used the shoe directions from cake central with the diagrams. It was super fast and so fun! The hardest part was getting the heel the right shape to match up with the top and making it long enough to hit the lid. Birthday girl loved it! I imprinted her name inside the shoe with letter stamps!

Mad Hatter!
My first topsy turvey cake! This was made for a mad hatter themed wedding. The cake is for the Bride and Groom. I thought I could make it with regular soft cake. BOY WAS I WRONG! I had to re-do it with an almond cake recipe. All in all, it turned out well. It is difficult to see in the photo, but the entire cake is covered in gold shimmer dust. A very nice effect!
