Wine & Cheese Crate
This is inspired by Susan Carberry's design. It's a chocolate marble cake covered with fondant then scored and hand painted to look like a crate. The bottles are chocolate (note to self: don't try this again when it's so hot & humid :-) ). The cheese wheel on top is also cake and all the other items are fondant. The straw is made of Asian noodles which were airbrushed. TFL!! I sure wish I had an edible image printer...it could have looked a lot better :-)

Handy Manny Cake
My customer wanted a Handy Manny cake for her son's birthday. I have to say, I didn't even know who he was but now I do :-) I based this cake design on a toy I saw at the store and then I noticed there are several cakes out there similar to this...so thanks to everyone for their idea :-) Tool box is strawberry cake, wooden layer is white cake, all tools are made from fondant on cookie sticks so the kids could eat them...if they wanted. Thanks for looking!

Fire Truck Cake - Front View
This cake is huge! It's made from (2) 11x15 and (2) 9x13 pans. The client wanted enough to feed 75 people but these are firemen so I thought I would make enough to have some good size servings....it sure was heavy:-). The client loved it and said it looked better than his real fire truck. The lights on top really work too! TFL!!

Deep Dish Pizza
I just got an airbrush today and thought I would test it out by making a Deep Dish Pizza cake. The pizza is probably a little too deep but I think it'll get eaten anyway :-) 2 10" chocolate cakes sculpted into a pizza shape and covered in buttercream then fondant and airbrushed. Fondant toppings.

A Dragon And His Book
This is my version of a Dragon next to his book..certainly not as good as some of the Dragons I've seen on this site :-) His scales were individually cut using the small rose petal cutter. He's made out of 2 8" round strawberry cakes and pieced together with buttercream. The book is made of French Vanilla with fondant accents. Thanks for looking!

Japanese Inspired Cake
I made this cake was made for my niece who loves all things Japanese. The decorations were made to resemble a Kimono she has hanging in her room. This is the first fondant figure I've ever done so she isn't very pretty in the face. :-) Any suggestions or feedback would be greatly appreciated :-)

Course Iii Final
Here's my Wilton Course III final cake. Sadly, I'm missing the last class due to a prior commitment. I was supposed to have Royal icing petunias but we just learned how to do them yesterday and they weren't dry enough to put on the cake. So I made Fondant Roses and other RI flowers instead. Thanks for looking! And as always, your feedback or suggestions are greatly appreciated! :-)
