Spongebob
2 8x3 inch rounds stacked up. Vanilla madeira with 3 layers of jam and buttercream and crumbcoated liberally with more buttercream. all fondant decoration. Had to sink some straws through the cake to keep it from falling over and it settled a bit but I was happy and the birthday girl (who is in her mid 30's lol) loved it.

Loopy Bow Present
Didn't really have much to go on with this, friend just wanted a present cake for his mums 50th. First attempt at making a loopy bow and now I think I have gray hair! Just got some diamond cutters so thought I would make a checkerboard of sorts. Lustre dust on the diamonds which were lilac. I used roses to cover the joins in the rope at the bottom as I also thought it needed something. They were the same lilac as the diamonds and i brushed them with a little lustre as well. Some green leaves just for a bit more colour

Dora Cake For 1St Birthday
Made for a friends daughters birthday. Fondant Dora and boots stuck on with royal icing. Had to prop them up with cocktail sticks whilst the "glue" dried. Gumpaste rainbow and some fondant some gumpaste clouds hiding the cocktail sticks jammed into the cake holding it up. Base icing all blue for the sky and then layered on the purple mountain hills, ivy leaves for jungle with boots on. Palm trees. My 2 year old nephew managed to find the cake (after candles but before cutting) and ate the monkey, bees, trees and took the "magic" clouds home to show his mum. He was helping the birthday girl.

Embellished on top of the fondant cut outs.

Real flowers, RI scroll work and writing on Vanilla Madeira jam and buttercream. 8" square and an 8" round cut in haldf like the instructions on here somewhere. Covered in fondant.
