Summertime Birthday
Bottom tier is yellow cake, top tier is fudge chocolate, filled with vanilla buttercream, and iced with moss green. I thought I would save time by rough icing the cake, but it really didn't save me time! I fiddled with the swirls just about as long (lol) But I like the look. Daisies are fondant.

Pink And Blue
This is an 8" and 6" cake, lemon and vanilla, all buttercream with fondant accents and bow. I tried to copy a bow I saw here on cc yesterday done by elvis (luv him :), but I didn't do very well. This was for my grandaughter who requested a pink and blue cake. It was a very rushed cake, since I didn't think I'd be able to do it, but turned out pretty cute I guess. The wired flowers were inserted into a straw.

Lego Cake
I made this cake for my Grandson because he LOVES legos. I didn't have too much time to spend on the decorations, but it came out ok. He loved it and that's the main thing. Butter cake with butterfingers chopped up in the buttercream filling between layers, buttercream icing and all fondant decorations.

13Th Birthday
My niece's daughter is really into cake decorating - watches Cake Boss!! She knew she wanted a blue and lime green cake, stripes on bottom, dots on top and a big bow. She plays trumpet , soccer, and volleyball so they are incorporated, but don't match colors so well :) Bottom 10" tier is chocolate with cookies and cream filling, top 6" tier is vanilla, all iced in buttercream, fondant decorations. Thanks for looking.

Daughter's Cake
My daughter's grown up with kids of her own and her birthday is the day after Christmas! So it was hard for me to get into cake-baking mode :) This is a simple 8" golden vanilla cake with buttercream frosting. Fondant bow and flower. She loves cobalt blue but I have yet to achieve that color...

Redskins Birthday Cake
My 9yr old Grandson loves football and the Redskins so I did the football field. Had trouble with goalposts, but he loved it. Scoreboard is his birthday, and age, and beating the Cowboys!!! Lemon and chocolate cake, buttercream icing and fondant accents. Oh, and his name is on the jersey. I saw a similar cake somewhere on CC, so thanks for the inspiration!!

Pink And White Ruffles
Ok, so this is a PRACTICE cake! Good thing. This is a dummy cake and I got the inspiration from someone here on CC, so thanks, but I'm sorry I don't know who it was. It's my first time using a dummy cake, first time covering a cake with fondant, first time frilling. There are nicks in the fondant, pink band is crooked, and well you know, there are lots of flaws. But I will try again :) Thanks for looking

1St Birthday Cake With Bear And Bows
I did this cake for another one of my many grandchildren! Have 15 now and one on the way!!! Bottom tier is carrot cake with cream cheese icing, top tier is vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream with sprinkles in filling. All decorations are fondant or fondant/gumpaste mix. Not too happy with my edges this time. Thanks to Amberlenee for some of the ideas, and someone else on CC, not sure who's cake :) TFL!!
