Chicago Bears 3-D Football Helmet
This was a groom's cake for a friend's wedding. It was my orange cake with vanilla buttercream. The cake layers were (bottom to top) 9,10,10,10,9. I carved it completely and put a board and dowels under layer 3. I didn't have any problems with slipage but the first face mask broke into 8 pieces. So, the night before the wedding i had to make another one out of gumpaste and heavy gauge wire.

Zebra Tiered Cake
This was for the engagement party but I didn't know what other category to use. LOL It was white cake with raspberry filling and BC. I used chocolate plastic with black coloring added for the zebra stripes. Red gumpaste bow and satin ribbon finished the cake. I'm very proud of how this cake turned out and the bride loved it. Hope you do too.

Water Snake And Frogs
My son got creative this year about what he wanted his birthday cake to look like. This is what we came up with. I'm also posting a pick of the frogs because you can't see the details in this pic. This was one dozen vanilla and one dozen strawberry cupcakes with vanilla buttercream. The snake is a lollipop and the lily pads are watermelon licorice tape.

Curious George Cake
This was for my youngest son's 2nd birthday. It was a chocolate fudge cake with chocolate buttercream and also vanilla buttercream for the top and decorations. This was fun and a very new way of decorating for me. He loves it! Hope you like it. (BTW I used FBCT for the face and found out that decorating gel (the black) does not freeze. LOL)

Red Velvet
This was a test run of a new red velvet recipe that I found. I like it but next time I'm going to decrease the cocoa a bit to get a redder result. I loved the frosting! As you can see I was able to get a nice shell design from it. I added 1/2 Tbsp of milk to the rest of the frosting to coat the cake. Its pretty yummy as is, but I want a more vibrant red next time.
