This is my first attempt at a life size 3D bust of John Wayne. The cake is the body from the next down. I purchased a styrofoam wig stand for the head and shaped it over a 3 day period to look as close to John Wayne as possible. The hat is the client's real hat. Humidity in the area recently caused my prior 6 hats to break. Thanks for looking!

Bride wanted a cake with a lot of bling on it and found this one on the internet. The cakes are 8", 10" and 12" tiers covered in buttercream. The "bling ribbon" was purchased by the bride, cut to fit, and secured with royal icing (it was a bit heavy). Edible sugar diamonds were also put on the two bottom tiers. I would probably not combine these with that ribbon again since they are so contrasting. Flowers are gum paste and sprayed with lustre spray for a pearl look.
