Pooh And Friends Party Tree
I made this for my son's first birthday. It was fun to go to Lowe's and get the supplies for the support system of the tree. It is a chocolate cake on the bottom and yellow cake on top. The tree trunk, gifts, and blanket are made out of modeling chocolate. Pooh and his friends are toys.

Pink Shoe And Roses
My mother LOVES shoes so I just had to try and make a gumpaste shoe. This was my first try at using gumpaste. I used the tutorial here on CC to make the shoe and aine2's videos to teach me how to make the roses. This is a chocolate cake with caramel filling. Thanks to all for your help, and thanks for looking!

Go Tigers!!
A cake for a church member's son. I made the letters by pressing some fondant into a chocolate mold. It was a lot easier than cutting the letters out by hand. This was also my first time covering my board with fondant. Thanks to all those in the forum who gave me great ideas and help, you are all the best. I loved the football idea, they are chocolate covered almonds! I just had to do it!!!

Witches Fingers
So fun to make. A nonspreading sugar cookie dyed green and rolled and shaped to look like a finger. I put a red almond on the end for the finger tip. I dyed them red by putting them in a plastic bag with some red gel food color. You could up the yuck factor by dipping them in red melted chocolate for the bloody look. Happy Halloween!

Ohio State Football Cake
I made this cake for a friend's surprise birthday celebration. The bottom cake is a 9X13 and the top is a 9 inch round that I cut a 1 1/2 inch strip out the middle to make the football shape. The O is a frozen buttercream transfer. I loved how easy it was to make the grass with my new grass tip!

Snow White Doll Cake
First of all I would like to thank lecrn for the help in making this cake. :) Once again I learned a lot making this cake. I learned that making the cake in your Kitchenaid Mixer Bowl is a bad idea, that I love to work with MMF but not real fondant, and that you don't flip your fondant over or you get dusty fondant. That said I am happy with the way she came out. My daughter, our princess, loved it.

Stain Glass Flowers
This is the decoration on my Grandma's 80th birthday cake. I decided I wanted to make a stain glass type design. The biggest challenge was getting the outline on the cake. I tried a FBCT method that did not work real well so I ended up free handing the black outline. The colors are piping gel that I made and colored and then I used a paint brush to fill in the areas. Grandma refused to let me cut into the stain glass part of the cake. Hope you enjoy!

30Th Birthday Cake
This is my 30th Birthday Cake. It was my first ever tier cake and I learned a lot. The cake is Darn Good Chocolate cake with espresso in place of the water. In between the layers is coffee flavored buttercream. On top are chocolate buttercream roses, and around the bottom are chocolate covered coffee beans. This cake meets all of my daily needs coffee and chocolate! To make the flowers and butterflies I pressed gel stamps into the crusted buttercream and filled in the lines. Very easy!!!

A Gold Star For You
I made these gold stars for the staff at my school. I thought that we all deservied a gold star for making it to the end of another great year. The cookies are made out of The World's Best Sugar Cookies and Toba's Glace and then painted with gold luster dust. This was my second time using Toba's Glace. I love that it dries shiny and glossy, It was perfect for a shiny gold star!

Milestone Birthdays
This was made for my SIL's 30th birthday. The concept is the Grim Reaper is looking over her past milestone birthdays. The Grim Reaper is a action figure covered with modeling chocolate dyed black. The tombstones are sugar cookies covered in MMF that I then "engraved" and then painted in the lines with black gel color. The rolled roses are MMF and Black Chocolate modeling clay. (They are also her wedding colors.) The cake is half chocolate and half white. Covered with chocolate butter cream.
