This was a 1st anniversary cake, 6" round, MFF, gumpaste Eiffel Tower and roses. Thanks SO MUCH to Weirkd, Confectionista, Lelka, and Doug for their help with the pattern and instructions, I couldn't have done it w/o your help. I wound up doing the Eiffel tower out of gumpaste with the black details out of gumpaste as well because the couple wanted to save the topper. It took WAY longer than I had expected to get all of that detail on and very hard on the eyes, wound up wishing I had painted it instead, but was happy with the end effect. Can't wait try one out of RI.
NFSC w/Antonia74 RI. Shipped 65 of these 600 miles via UPS 2nd day, I was so relieved all of the cookies made it there in one piece.
Gift for a friend. Wilton 1/2 ball on top of standard cupcakes.
Wilton 1/2 ball pan cakes on top of standard cupcakes (levelled). Fondant & RI. Inspired by all the beautiful ornament cupcakes here on CC.

Customer emailed me a picture of Lily Pulitzer inspired mini purse cakes that she wanted replicated as one larger cake. I think she found the original photo here on CC, I would love to credit original designer if anyone knows who it is. Caramel cake with mocha filling, serves approx. 18-20 people. Hand carved and covered in fondant to resemble a clutch purse. Sculpted gumpaste beads dusted in luster dust are strung for the sparkling beaded handle, the clasp is also gumpaste, hand painted in a shimmery gold. TFL.
This is my 1st car cake. I've been wanting to learn how to make one and ran across a forum thread last week that gave me courage to try. Thanks to everyone who shares their knowledge on here!!! This cake is modeled to look like DH's first car/first love, he still remembers every little detail and guided me on that for his car. It took FOREVER and I definitely learned a lot from the process. Peanut butter cake, choc. pb filling/frosing. Modeling choc. & fondant decorations, airbrushed. 11x15 cake cut in half (11x7.5), stacked & carved. Almost 1/2 the cake wound up being carved away, I'm hoping to find a less wasteful way of doing this as it would barely give 15-18 servings.
Wow, these took a long time, I definitely have an appreciation for those of you who decorate cookies on a regular basis and with such perfection! NFSC with Antonia74's RI - used creme bouquet flavoring in both and loved the taste. TFL.
Thanks to the wonderful inspiration on this site, I feel in love with this design and made it for my dear friend's bridal shower. She loved it! 10" square choc. cake, cookies & cream filling, fondant dress w/luster dust on skirt (wish my camera showed the luster dust better). This was my last cake until November, I promised my DH I will take a "maternity leave". TFL.
12" x 6", yellow cake with peanut butter filling, fondant covered. Box lid is fondant w/tylose using Sugar Shack's directions, lettering and zebra stripes are handpainted using Americolor black & vodka, shoe is gumpaste, rhinstones are jewelry stickers.
10" chocolate cake with cookies and cream filling, Sugarshack's buttercream icing & fondant accents, gumpaste booties.
Characters and sign done with chocolate transfers. Bert and Ernie took a LONG time to do, b/c of all the detail in their clothing. This was for my son's 2nd birthday.

9" round Stawberry Coconut cake with strawberry cream cheese filling, iced with WBH's house buttercream for my youngest's 2nd birthday. 1st time using chocolate transfer technique and I love it. Instructions and animal template are in the Whimsical Bakehouse book.
3, 6" rounds cut in half and covered in fondant to resemble beer can for 21st birthday.
10" choc. cake, choc. filling, Michelle Foster's Fondant, bc border, all accents are fondant except for the front rim of the nurses hat which is gumpaste. This was for a friend, so my 9yr old son wanted to help, he made the pill bottles. Thanks to those on CC who provided inspiration.
A gift for my son's close friend. Mario FBCT, drawing done by birthday boy's father who is a video game artist, I did the transfer from his drawing. 11x15" Choc. cake, buttercream icing, fondant accents. I was so excited that the family loved it, they just asked for Mario and they are good friends, so I surprised them with the game board around the sides and they were thrilled. I love making cakes and seeing the big smiles on their faces :). My almost 7 yr. old made the 1ups (little red mushrooms), he had wanted to help with his friend's cake. I was so convinced that I wouldn't be able to use what he made I had told him he should put what he makes aside especially for the bday boy.
6" chocolate cake as gift to friend for her birthday. Michelle Foster's Fondant, brush embroidery with BC on fondant plaque, BC borders. All critiques welcome. TFL.

I made this cake for my son to celebrate his 1st piano recital. 8" square chocolate cake, fondant background and keys, buttercream borders & writing. I used the Wilton black tubed icing for writing and that didn't work out too well, I think it is less of a headache to just color a bit of my own black. I was able to use a few other piano cakes on this site for guidance, thanks to the other cc'ers for sharing. TFL.
Buttercream icing, 2 toned. RI flowers for a little girl's birthday.
More NFSC designs using colors from the bright Americolor "electric" set with Antonia74's RI. TFL.
Half are chocolate, half are yellow cake. 2 toned Buttercream icing swirls. Hand molded fondant frogs, RI flowers. This was for a combined birthday party for my niece & nephew so I wanted to come up with something non gender specific. TFL.
NFSC with Antonia's RI, my kids chose these bright colors and helped come up with the design. Made these to take on a trip we went on last week with a few other families & their kids. TFL.
Red Velvet cakes w/cream cheese filling, buttercream crumb coat, MMF. My 9 year old son designed this cake, we baked 2 - 8" rounds, torted both, used an 8" round for base and cut the 2nd in half, then stacked and carved for the hearth and chimney. My 9 & 6 year old sons made all the decorations (17 month old watched). DH and I helped. This was how we spent our Christmas Eve after going to mass. We had a great time doing this project together. This was the first time I was sad to cut a cake. TFL.
For my parents 40th Wedding Anniversary. They refused to let me have a party for them, didn't want to impose on anyone; so I made them a 6" cake for them to enjoy together. Red Velvet (their current favorite), cream cheese filling, MMF fondant, RI scrollwork, gumpaste roses & leaves. I really loved doing this one, just wish I could have done it larger scale and tiered in a wedding cake style for a party. TFL.
