My Anniversary Cake
I decided to experiment with flavors and filling this time. Since it's a cake for my 5th Anniversary it wouldn't hurt to play around some. It's a two layer 9" cake with caramel filling and caramel cream BC. The cake is butter with french vanilla cappucino. It's my first time covering a whole cake in MMF and I need a lot of practice doing it. Our wedding colors were red and gold and the flowers are the ones that I had left over when I made my bridesmaid's bouquets.

My First Cake Order
This is the cake that a co-worker requested for her daughter's birthday. Her daughter attends UMKC in Kansas City and she requested the school colors of blue and yellow. She also liked the style of my Christmas peppermint cake I did. She also wanted some volleyballs and the school mascot, a kangaroo, to be on the cake. The cake is almond buttercream. The bow and curly q's are MMF and painted in luster dust. The volleyballs, writing, and kangaroo are all RI.

Flower Cookie Bouquet
This is the Christmas gift I made for my son's daycare provider. I found this idea for the painted pot on the internet and decided to do it myself. Since it says "Thanks for helping me grow" and has flowers painted on it, I thought it would be cute to make some flower cookies for the pot. I used Antonia's RI recipe and it works wonders!

Christmas Peppermint Cake
This was so much fun to do. Keep in mind that I am still new and learning the ropes. This was my very first attempt to stack a cake and a MMF bow!!!! This cake is for my work's potluck tomorrow (I just made this and my husband's birthday cake yesterday). It's all peppermint BC icing smoothed with the viva towel. I used two 9" cakes and two 6" cakes with crushed peppermint filling. The bow is MMF. I could've taken more time with the holly leaves, but I needed this done for tomorrow.

Camoflauge Birthday Cake
This is one of two cakes I made within the last two days. This is for my husband's birthday tomorrow. He's a former Marine and now in the Air Guard so I wanted to do a military theme. It's all BC with the dog tags made out of MMF. I smoothed the BC with a viva papertowel and my fondant smoother. Special thanks to duckychickenlady on pointers for getting camo colors. I actually took one of my husband's uniform shirts and matched the colors. It's a 9", two layer cake with almond BC filling.

Incredibles Cookie Bouquet
I made these for my son's 3rd b-day to take to his daycare. This was my first time making cookies like these and I had somewhat of a drying/cracking problem. I tried to freehand the emblem the best I could, but my son wanted to help me. I used the Wilton color flow mix for the icing.
