Lady Bug Cake
Took some ideas from several posted cakes here. Thanks!! 1/2 of the Sports ball pan for the body and the mini ball pan for the head. Butter cream frosting, yellow cake, Chenille legs (ends of legs and antennae are stuck into cut off drinking straws stuffed into the cake) /antennae, fondant spots and eyes, gum paste flowers. Cupcakes to match with butter cream frosting.

I do not know the original poster of this cake. My client saw it here and copied the pic. I searched for the cake and could not find it to give proper credit. The original cake was 4 tiers. I changed it a teensy bit. It's butter cream/chocolate buttercream over yellow cake. The chocolate drizzle is the Sara Bernhardt glaze but I did add a tsp. of vanilla. The strawberries are dipped in the glaze also.Each layer is turned to a different angle so the pic looks a little funky. I could not take a straight shot since that huge mirror was behind the cake.

Surfing Cake
I borrowed this idea from some cakes I saw here. TY.. Buttercream frosting, piping gel water, graham cracker beach, fondant feet sticking out of the water. Plastic surfboards. Seashells and sand dollars are candy melts. I laminated the signs they say "Emergency Entrance " for the tiki hut hospital. The other one says "Surfboard and Umbrella rentals". The flags have the number 50 on them.
