Superhero Cake
11", 9" & 7". Vanilla Cake with cookies and creme filling, choc. chip cake with choc. buttercream filling. Cake spackle and buttercream under fondant. Blue & grey fondant was NuWrap, a little soft to work with, had some trouble with top edges. Red and black was Elite and a dream to work with. To cut Batman logo, rolled the fondant, then covered with plastic wrap to keep from drying out and put in freezer for 10 minutes, so much easier to cut with Exacto knife when fondant is frozen.

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse
12x18" Choc. cake, raspberry meringue buttercream filling, Sugarshack buttercream grass & under fondant. Clubhouse base (Wilton half ball pan, 6"), hand & foot are RKT, head is styrofoam (3" & 1.5") covered in fondant. Made this for my son's birthday, he was adamant about wanting a cake with MM Clubhouse on it when I showed him pics of various MM themed cakes on here - even my 2 year old expects an elaborate cake :). My older kids helped a bit, so it was a fun family activity.

Icing Smiles Cake
We made this cake for an Icing Smiles family. My son spent hours painting the butterflies with petal and luster dusts and then helped to deliver the cake. It was an amazing experience, Sydnie is such a beautiful, sweet little girl, I even got a hug from her :). Cake is 5", 7", 9" based on a sketch Sydnie drew of her "dream cake". 5" & 9" are vanilla cake with oreo filling, 7" is chocolate cake with oreo filling, decorations are fondant, butterflies are fondant/gum paste. Icing Smiles is an amazing organization, you can find them online (.org) and on Facebook, check them out.

Two Toned Roses
I loved this design when I saw it on here. I loved it even more when I needed a quick but pretty design for my family's Easter Dinner. Tip 1M rosettes. Start on top center, then sides from top down. I was in a huge rush getting ready for Easter so I didn't bother to cut my 10" cardboard though the cake was 9". One of the benefits of making a cake for just family :).

Kyle's Kyle Cake
S'mores Cake (graham cake filled with whipped chocolate ganache, graham cracker & mini marshmallows). Car is piped in buttercream, black squares are fondant. Birthday boy loves Kyle Busch because they share a first name. He wanted his last name on the cake but I blocked it out from the photo to post on here - the icing is NOT smeared red :).

Charlotte's Web
I made this cast party cake for my son's middle school production of Charlotte's Web. Chocolate cake, fondant icing, figures & details. Clouds are buttercream, web says "Some Play", my son's idea, and is made of flexible Royal Icing using Wilton gum paste mix (2 cups mix, 1/3 cup hot water, mix until combined, piped using tip #3).

Black Belt Cake
I made this for my son, he received his Black Belt today. 13x9 Vanilla Caramel half chocolate fudge, half with coffee cream filling; thick layer of buttercream covered with MFF. Black Belt and collar are fondant w/tylose, lettering is hand piped RI then painted gold. I used THE MAT for the first time covering this cake and it worked like a dream. This batch of fondant was really tempermental, I had to knead it forever and covering it the normal way would have left me with cracks everywhere, this had NONE. It was perfect smooth coverage!!!

Halloween Cupcakes
I made these as the display for the parent/child Halloween Cupcake class I taught. Apple spice and Pumpkin spice cupcakes, Kat'sTwinkie filling, Sugarshack buttercream. I also made some others for home with Caramel Apple SMBC icing/filling and Brown Sugar Pumpkin SMBC (to die for) - recipes from the Domestic Goddess blog. Toppers are fondant, ghosts are 4" fondant circles on unwrapped DumDums - soooo easy.

Laptop Cake
The monitor is foam board covered with fondant, the screen is just a computer screen print inside a report cover. I propped up the monitor using L brackets, the brackets are tacked into the cake base, then the keyboard sits on top of the bottom part of the bracket, leaving enough space to place the monitor between the top of the bracket and back of the cake, with it angled back slightly. All keys are individual fondant pieces, painted with Americolor white and very thin artist brush, then attached to cake. Cake is 13x9. All accessories are carved cake, with fondant details.

Birthday/graduation
8" & 10" rounds. Caramel cake, chocolate filling, fondant icing, fondant/gumpaste decorations. I REALLY wish I could take better pictures, the blue stars & letters had disco dust on them and I loved the effect but it isn't really showing up. Also, white fondant was airbrushed with Pearl. This was for 2 of my son's: 3rd birthday and elementary school "graduation". The blue and orange were his school colors, he drew out this cake design right down to the party & graduation hats. I followed his sketch exactly.
