Love Birds
This is our second cake published in a wedding magazine. :) Our task was to do something wintery and of course I did not want it to be overally white. It's all fondant covered with wire and fondant branches and then the owls are gumpaste. Cake is styrofoam flavored but should be good for a long time. :)

Sesame Street/ Star Wars
Two of my sons, my ten year old and my four year old, have a birthday three days apart. I didn't have time to make two cakes so I made one big one. One side was Sesame Street and the other side was Star Wars. All cutouts were done with fondant and figures are fondant with royal icing. Too fun.

Cub Scouts Blue And Gold Cake
This is a cake that I made for my packs Blue and Gold ceremony. In cub scouts the B&G is a huge deal because it marks the fifth graders journey from cub scout to boy scout. The cake was completely hand drawn and hand sculpted. All the figures are made out of fondant. I had probably 80 hours in on this cake and felt pretty proud of it in the end.

Cub Scout Cake
This is the biggest cake disaster I have ever had. :( I had 40 hours of work in this cake. All four sides and the top were hand painted to show places that each of the cub scout dens had gone to throughout the year. After finishing the cake I left it on the counter next to the window. Through the course of the night the cake got invaded by hundreds of ANTS!! I picked it up to put it on top of the other two layers and ants poured out of it. My three teired cake instantly turned into a two teired cake. Luckily the paintings were done on fondant and ended up being okay once I scraped off the buttercream and threw away the cake.
