Baby Onesies
SOOO Cute! I hated to give them away! Made for a friend...she and her husband are having their first. Sent them off in the mail. Can't wait to hear how she likes them! I Loved them! :) NFSC w/bc and fondant. Used piping tips to make the seam impressions. :) UPDATE: she said she and her husband fought over them...he wanted to eat them and she wanted to show them to everyone! i'm happy!

Seeing Spots
Cake for my dh's birthday. Know next time to make it taller rather than wider...with the sides tapered, it would be MUCH easier to ice and therefore smooth! :) My bow loops were nice and hard when I went to bed...and soft and droopy when I got up...GRRR! Blackberry buttermilk cake...took it to the restaurant...we gave a couple pieces to the watiress and she shared with some kitchen staff. They raved about it so much we left them the rest! Didn't need that tempation at home anyway! It was YUMMY!!!!

Marine Corps Cake
A guy my DH works with is part of a Marine group that gets together. He needed two cakes the same two weeks apart...These are them...not an original design, but my rendition. One has a black band...he wanted a dark blue on the second. And I found my cutters that were hiding from me the first go 'round! Vanilla cake with raspberry bc filling. They were a BIG hit apparently! Yay!

Mom's "hydrangea"
I realized too late that the royal icing I thought I had to do the brushed embroidery was dried out and didn't have time to make more so I used some of the bc I had...doesn't work very well...oh well. My mom loved it because it looks like a hydrangea, her favorite...even though I don't know what it is. :) Vanilla cake with mocha bc under fondant.

Snoopy Baby Shower
Let me just say...I hate fondant. There...I feel better. :) It's a good thing there were stars to cover up the owies. I need a bigger workspace! LOL. Anyway...design a combination of a couple cakes she liked, and the invitation. Vanilla cake with raspberry cream filling. BC under fondant with FBCT...which was fun and easy to do even if a bit time consuming.

Sara's Big Splash
My daughters's b'day cake. She designed it...we just made a couple of changes. DH said...are you nuts? She originally wanted a Colette Peters cake...this was much easier! I've included her sketch. VERY fun to do, and we worked on it together! The sand is teddy grahams in the food processor.

Taylor's Rainbow
Birthday cake for one of my daughter's best friends. I asked her what her fave color was, she said "the rainbow" and she loves peace signs and guitars, so this is what she got! I should have thought out the topper a little more...kind of all blends together. Oh well. She loved it. BC w/fondant/gumpaste accents TFL.

Tuxedo Topper
A Wedding Shower... My mom asked me to do a cake topper knowing I would be out of town when she needed a cake for her supervisor's wedding shower. I wanted to do one of those cute dress cakes, but she told me her supervisor was the GROOM not the bride...so I came up with this... she was going to make a sheet cake and place this on top and pipe around the edges. Yellow and Blue were the wedding colors. TFL.
