This is based on the previous WoW Druid Tree of Life form (pre-Cata). The head, hands and legs are made of RKT and the body is all cake. The bark "effect" was merely chance because the fondant ripped and tore and I had a hard time with it. My mom started patching it up and it turned out better than my original idea. :)
The client asked for a simple wedding cake and I came up with this design (obviously not something unique and unusual). The inspiration was the bride's ring, which is a sapphire with diamonds on either side. I used crystal cake banding and sugar pearls for decoration.
My co-worker ordered this cake for his wife's birthday and he wanted a cello/music themed cake.
The bride asked for an eyelet lace look for a border and muted colors for the mums.
Chocolate cake with peanut butter icing and decorated with KitKats and Reese's Pieces.
Carrot cake with cream cheese icing and chocolate with chocolate icing with fondant leaves for a fall theme.
Chocolate cupcakes with chocolate buttercream icing in an Up theme. Colors to coordinate with the carrot cake with cream cheese cupcakes in my albums.
My client wanted an Up theme for her son's birthday. These are carrot cake with colored cream cheese icing. The client would add the house at home.
This is my attempt at a cantilever cake. I made this cake for my own birthday, and I wanted it to be something different and WoW-themed. My husband and I both play World of Warcraft (as do many of our friends). This cake was a labor of love, but I think it turned out pretty fantastic. I don't have a background in art, and all the painting and cutouts were done freehand. The structure is: 1/2" plywood base, flange, pvs adapter (I call it a screwcap), PVC pipe for center support, and dowel rods for support under each tier. Only one tier was fake, and I only did that to minimize the amount of leftover cake. One side was my character, another was a zoomed in shot of her weapon, the bottom was her pet (a wolf) with the Kill Command icon, and the rest were other shots and aspects related to hunters in the game.
A 6-inch chocolate cake with chocolate fudge buttercream icing filling. The cake was then iced in vanilla buttercream, decorated with fondant stars, a fabric ribbon and gray buttercream dots. This cake was inspired by a two-tiered caked made by Pink Cake Box.
This cake is the chocolate version of the WASC cake. The recipe was found on this site. :) I decorated the cake with everything but the flowers and boarder, then I cut the wedge out and put the piece on its own board for support. I then used chocolate fondant to cover the edges.
I made this cake to take to work to celebrate our student employee's graduation from Purdue. We were sad that she was leaving, but excited for her to begin her life. The cake is a 6" round, iced in butter cream. It is decorated with gumpaste decoration (rose and bow) and a black satin ribbon border. The roses were my first ever attempt!! The bow is yellow fondant with tylose added, and painted with gold luster dust mixed with clear vanilla. Thanks for looking!

I took the idea to wire the blossoms from Lexia's cherry blossom cake here: http://www.cakecentral.com/cake-photo_1561254.html . The apple blossoms were made using the blossom kit sold by Jennifer Dontz. I used wire through the center of the blossom, and used yellow royal icing to help adhere and for the appearance of stamens. I used green floral tape, and brown ribbon (couldn't find brown floral tape in time) for the branch. The cake is 12", 10" and 6" tiers, with black satin ribbon around the base, and a thinner black satin ribbon above. This cake traveled 9.5 hours, un-stacked.
I made this cake for my mom's birthday, which also fell on Mother's Day this year. I blatantly took the overall design look from Lexia's cherry blossom cake. She is truly the talent here. :) The apple blossoms were made using the blossom kit sold by Jennifer Dontz. I used wire through the center of the blossom, and used yellow royal icing to help adhere and for the appearance of stamens.

I just made this for my father in law's birthday. It's a Cleveland Browns helmet. The face mask was made with fondant and tylose powder, pushed through a clay extruder.
I made this for my boss, who absolutely loves tuna.
This is about 7 cake layers, measuring at around 10" tall. I learned some lessons on this, but I'm pleased with the results. I should have added supports for every two layers, but I just had the dowel through the middle (my father made the very stable structure). I started with 4" and 5" cakes, and carved to get a more gradual cut in at the bottom. The word Guinness and the harp were cut out of fondant, though I would have had better results with gumpaste. I painted on the rest with luster dust and food coloring. The cake is covered in dark chocolate fondant, and ivory. My DH loved it, and was very happy with his birthday cake.
Iced in butter cream, I made this for my nephew's 11th birthday. He said he wanted a camo cake, so I obliged. I thought about smoothing it all out, but I thought it looked cool this way too. I had a small piece of fondant on top to write his name on.
Iced in butter cream with dark chocolate fondant accents. I used the Makins clay extruder gun to form the letters on top of the cake. Just something simple for my coworker's birthday.
I used fondant to cut out the head and face, butter cream to ice, and fondant for the flowers. The flowers were just cut from the small and medium Wilton Daisy cutters, nothing extra done to them.
Based of a poster for the movie. The cake is iced in tinted butter cream, and the image of Lawrence is made with white and chocolate fondant, painted with food coloring diluted with vodka. The cake itself is WASC cake torted with raspberry filling.
My nephew wanted a chocolate, rectangle cake with a Hawaiian theme, so I came up with this. Iced in white butter cream, covered in blue Satin Ice fondant. White fondant strip with hibiscus stenciling for decoration.
The cake is iced in butter cream with fondant decorations.
I made this cake for a coworker whose friend was having a baby. The decorations were inspired by the baby bedding her friend is using. The board and decorations are fondant or fondant with tylose. The cake is iced in butter cream icing. The baby booties were created with the JEM cutters, and the name was created with the Wilton fondant and gumpaste letter set.
I made this cupcake bouquet at the request of my mother-in-law for my sister-in-law. It is to celebrate her starting her second year of Vet school. This one was a bit of trial and error, but managed to make it work. :) I used nut cups loosely wrapped with green cellophane and two toothpicks per cupcake. The base is a terra-cotta pot wrapped with pieces (had to cut it in pieces in order to get it to wrap around nicely) of fabric ribbon (got a great deal!).
I made this cake for a bridal shower for my sister-in-law's best friend. Everyone loved it, and thought it was yummy. The base was lilac butter cream, and the dress and ribbon roses were fondant. I used First Impressions molds for the beads at the base and for the straps.
