My Favorite Things
Three Tiered Square cake. Fondant numerals brushed with luster dust for topper. Fondant drape down front of cake. Corners decorated with this woman's hobbies as a tribute to her full life. Most decortions made out of fondant or gumpaste with exception of the chrysanthemums which are royal icing.

A Nightmare Before Christmas
Buttercream iced topsy turvy cake with Jack and Sally figures on top. I made the archway out black pipe-cleaners wrapped around heavier gauge wire. The center pin-striped tier is supposed to represent Jack's suit. The pinstripes are made from black fondant. The buttercream patchwork crazy quilt tier is inspired by Sally's dress. This was my first topsy turvy cake. Wow! It was a lot of work!

Baby Stroller Shower
Cupcake Shower. Top tier is cake with fondant BABY letters on side and a gumpaste stroller and baby on top. Idea of stroller design came from a Wilton catalog. Each cupcake is decorated with a design from the party plate: moon, star, stroller and butterfly to denote different flavors of cupcakes.

Each cupcake is filled with raspberry filling and garnished with a chocolate scroll and raspberry,
