Chocolate Covered Strawberries With Piroutte Wafers
Birthday cake for a 58 year old. They wanted something elegant, the second one of these I have made. 8" Vanilla with BC icing (cake was made with 1/2 sugar and 1/2 splenda - new mix out at the stores). Topped with chocolate dipped strawberries with Message on Red Satin Ribbon Banner. Be sure to check the prices of fruit before quoting a price. Didn't realize they were out of season and they cost me $8 just for the strawberries. Didn't make much on this cake. A lesson learned.

This is my first use of the Sugar Veil product. The web was pretty easy to make. My suggestion is to be consistently large with the striping. Sour cream vanilla confetti cake filled with strawberry/buttercream filling. BC icing on 10' and 4", Buildings are hershey bars. Sorry for the spike up his back, but the client provided a spiderman with no "backbone" (no pun intended). This was fun to do!

Vanilla bean cake with raspberry creme filling. BC covered with pink marbled fondant. Accents are all fondant - bows and ribbon roses. This is my first shoe and the fondant is textured at the toe and heel to look like alligator skin. Girl's name JOYE stamped on the insole.

Tattoo Groom's Cake - Stuck For Life!
12" Red Velvet filled and frosted with crusting cream cheese icing. Groom is a tattoo artist. Had him do some original designs for top and front, had them made into edible images, cut them out and applied to top and front of the cake. A model of a tattoo gun was placed on top. First time with edible images, since I waited for the icing to crust, I did a light mist of water before applying the images.
