Toomer's Corner
8" square cake iced in orange buttercream (sugarshack) with navy fondant tiger stripes with oak tree form made from skewer, floral wire and floral tape that is covered in modeling chocolate with fondant strips hung over branches. Covering the trees with toilet paper symbolizes a victory for Auburn University. Back when the telegraph was the fastest mode of communication the drug store on Toomer's corner would drape the ticker tape over the branches to let everyone know that Auburn had won whatever game was being played. Made for a HUGE Auburn fan for his 16th birthday!!

Playhouse Cake
Cake for little girl turning three who was getting a playhouse as a gift. Her mother went with that as the theme of the party. I was given a 2D rendering of the playhouse and used that to make it for the cake from gumpaste. Love how it turned out and so did the mother. Thanks to all the house cakes on here for inspiration!! TFL!

Daddy's Baseball Birthday Cake
Mother contacted saying that her boys insisted on getting a birthday cake for their daddy since they were having a small party for him. We decided on baseball since that sport is now being played. Each boy is on a different little league team and the daddy likes the Braves. So, I incorporated the logos of each little league team - Phillies, Red Sox (drawn with edible food markers) and the Astros, as well as the Braves logo. Field painted with canned food spray - made template from card stock. Got inspiration from the MANY baseball diamond cakes here on CC. Thanks everyone!!!

Semi Truck And Tanker Trailer
3D Semi truck and tanker trailer for birthday. His parents gave him a real truck and his wife ordered a cake just like the truck he was getting. Truck is all cake, tires and trailer are rice cereal treats. I am not totally happy with it. The black Satin Ice fondant dried out and cracked really bad. I thought I was doing good by ordering it so I wouldn't have to color it myself, but the performance of the Satin Ice has made me go back to coloring fondant black myself. TFL!
