Firefighter's Cake
Chocolate marble cake with fudgie filling and chocolate butter cream icing. Handmade plaque to look like patch on his uniform, bunker boots and helmet. My husband is also a firefighter and got the hose that is wrapped around the stand that he also made for this cake. The strawberries are covered in white, red and milk chocolate to look like bunker gear pants with suspenders. TFL!

Pearls And Swirls
Five tier french vanilla cake with sugarshack's buttercream. Bride picked an Earlene Moore cake design that was used with a couple changes - an additional tier and globe separators under the first tier. All pearls handmade with white luster dust. Used SPS system from Bakery Crafts as support for the first time after reading the forum post and tips and instructions by Leah. It was great and will be what I use from now on - Thanks Leah!!

All Sewn Up!
Made for a lady that works with my sister. The office surprised her with breakfast and cake; her family was even there for the surprise. She is a seamstress and quilter - she LOVED the cake!! The cake is 10" & 6" chocolate with chocolate filling and buttercream icing. Inspired by all the wonderful sewing cakes on CC - Thanks everyone! All decorations are fondant/gumpaste. I enjoyed making this cake as sewing was the very first craft I learned from my grandmother. TFL!!

Mrs. Potts & Chip
From the movie Beauty and the Beast. Mrs. Potts made with Wilton's sports ball pan, iced in BC with fondant/gumpast decorations. Chip is 3 bottom halves of cupcakes iced in BC with fondant handle. This cake was a surprise for the birthday girl from her aunt. I was told she did not want to cut it - now that's the best compliment one can get on a cake!!

Target Antlers Camo Hunting Cake
A mother contacts me about making a cake for her son's target practice/shooting range birthday party. She says he has come up with a design for it - a target with a red bulls eye and deer antlers coming out of it. I thought it was a cute idea and fit the theme of the party well. The antlers are made from white and milk chocolate covering a wire and masking tape armature - thanks to Edibleart for the how to tips with the Mounted Deer cake photo. The mom also told me she was using camo invites and paper products so I added camo to the sides of the 10" chocolate cake. The shotgun shells are made from fondant and gumpaste. I really enjoyed seeing this cake come together. TFL!
