I made this cake for a friend's flamingo party. The body is a strawberry cake decorated with buttercream icing. The neck is made from copper wire covered with marshmallows and then iced with buttercream. The legs are metal pipes covered in orange electrical tape. The tail is plastic canvas iced with buttercream.

Bass Fish Retirement Cake
White cake decorated in buttercream for retirement. The fish is made out of a triangular piece of plastic canvas tied to make something like a half of a cone. I then iced the canvas to look like a fish. The sides say, "Everyone must believe in something. I believe I'll go fishing."

Blue's Clues Cake
I made this Blue's Clues cake for my niece. It is decorated in buttercream. The inside when cut will be a blue and white checkerboard pattern. This is the first time I used the frozen buttercream transfer. (I need to work on getting the lines out but I'm pretty happy for my first try.)

Bass Fish Cake
To make the fish I cut plastic craft canvas into a triangle and then tied 2 corners together to make a modified cone shape. I had planned to make the fish out of rice krispies but that didn't work so I used some rice krispies under the canvas to help hold the shape of the fish. I iced the canvas with buttercream to look like a bass fish. I did use a dowel rod and bought some fishing line to make a fishing pole.

Indiana Jones Set Cake
I used one of the new Indiana Jones play sets as a model for this cake. The cake is iced in buttercream. The back wall is a cake board covered in foil and iced to look somewhat like a stone wall. The Indiana Jones figure is from the play set. The tree is made out of pvc pipe and iced in buttercream. The skulls are just plastic skulls, I tried making some but they didn't turn out the way I wanted them to so I used the plastic ones instead.
