Beer Bucket
I made this cake for my mother in law's 50th birthday. It's a 3 layer 10" chocolate cake, iced with chocolate buttercream then covered in fondant painted with food coloring. The handle and sign were made from gumpaste. The ice is rock candy. The bottles are sugar, but the lables and caps were taken from real beer bottles. A big THANK YOU to SweetResults for her tutorial because without it, I'd have never tried a beer bottle cake.

Pirate Ship Cake
I made this cake for my son's (who is a huge "Pirates of the Caribbean" fan) 10th birthday. Cake is butter pecan at the bow and chocolate aft all layered with buttercream icing. Cake is covered in fondant. Windows, lanterns, Cannons and steps are rolled buttercream. Railing and rudder are fondant. All is edible except for the mast's (Wooden Dowels) and the sails (Felt Paper). Also cake was 34" long and 32 high. Rigging around mast was twine. Cargo net up to mast was royal icing.

A lot of inspiration came from multiple cakes of this site. With out all of you i would have never known where to start.

Swinging Babies
I got this idea from a Wilton Book. The cake ia all buttercream with plastic babies blocks and rocking horses. The Wilton version calls for the "tall tier cake stand", which I don't have. So I cut the middle 8" layer in half, forming the two halfs around an 18" column. This was surprisingly very sturdy though harder to ice.
