Tree Stump "green" Cake
for a green wedding shower.... 3 layers of 10" almond cake and vanilla buttercream. I used carvings to make roots and covered cake with tan colored BC and let crust, then applied brown colored BC than I didn't completely mix (to create some darker and lighter colors) and slathered on the entire cake except top. Circles are painted with dark brown BC after it crusted. completed w/ sugar ladybugs and some cookie/chocolate mushrooms found at Five Below.

Turkey Cupcake
A cake pop on top of a cupcake. Borrowed the general idea from the Wilton FB page and adapted. The tail feather section is chocolate candy melt in the Wilton Global Silicone mold with orange candy melt and orange sugar to highlight. The beak and wattle are also candy melts. The eyes are fondant.

Cherry Blossom Baby Shower Cake
10 x 15 Lemon w/ vanilla buttercream. used the Wilton Fondant and gum paste mold "Nature" for blossom, branch, frozen buttercream transfer for wording. The clients specified the green branch although in the future, I would probably do a brown one. Thanks to berneil for inspiration cake!

Sweet 16 Tiki Hut Cake
All buttercream, tootsie roll palm trees and coconuts, Pirourete cookies, sugar surf boards I saw at the cake store and couldn't resist! Driftwood sign piped white candy melt onto woodgrain impression mat, used brown gel to highlight wood grain and made two triangle candy melt pieces to prop up the sign. had a slight problem and had to re-ice the blue tier and didn't have the time to smooth it very well.

Beer Mug Cake
4 layers of 6" chocolate cake w/ vanilla buttercream and chocolate chips. The bar the mug is sitting on is 9x13 cake with white and milk chocolate melted and slightly mixed together smoothed over. then I ran a toothpick over to expose the chocolate cake underneath for a "woodgrain" effect. It's kinda hard to see in picture unfortunately. I used white chocolate for the handle but was kinda heavy. chocolate covered pretzels and a real, empty can complete the look.

Pikachu Pokemon Cake
10" Chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream. Pokeball is cake and buttercream. Last time I will attempt a ball in buttercream! but my friends aren't fondant fans. Pokemon buttercream transfer and candy melts for the Happy Birthday message with toothpicks adhered to the back like push pins. The Pikachu and standup figures are from a toy that he can play with after.
