Number 60 Birthday Cake
was going for an antique look which is not my strong suit but turned out ok in the end, i really had a hell of a time finding the right color for this though lol. Anyway both number are carved from two 1/2 sheet cakes, the 6 is a pineapple cake torted w/ pineapple filling, the 0 is a chocolate cake torted w/ strawberry filling, iced in both MMF and MFF the color is airbrushed (i found that airbrushing really dries out and hardens the fondant more than kneading in color) also dry brushed some gold pearl dust over the whole thing, used RI for the pattern on top, roses are gumpaste and airbrushed ( i used tonedna's tutorial, thx Edna!) pearl border is fondant i used the 8mm size mold, side decoration is fondant i used leaf cutter for the shape. TFL!

Mmf Birthday Cake
8" round, all MMF including all decorations except for the dragees. I used strawberry marshmallows for the fondant and didn't have to add any coloring to get that pink color. I also added some strawberry flavoring to it. Inside is a yellow cake torted wtih strawberry creme filling and I used strawberrys n cream icing to crumb coat.

Spivey Baby Shower
MMF 10" bottom, 8" top, everything is fondant including bow, bears, and all decorations, used floral wire for the shooting stars, dusted a few things with pearl dust (need to work on that technique). This is my second fondant cake and clearly still have much to learn. Bow and whole top layer needs work (esp the bow), i rolled the fondant too thin on the top layer which reveals too many imperfections but i made it for a friend's baby shower so i guess a few imperfections aren't too big a deal =)~

Mmf 3D Figures
My first attempt at making 3D figures to put on a baby shower cake I am making, although they now gave me a theme to go by so I won't be using these little fellas for this cake, not sure if I can save em for another, They're both made of MMF, all parts except the eyes are just Wilton black gel color that I put on with a toothpick. I followed Lorraine's tutorials to the tee, I'm pretty pleased with how they turned out although not nearly as good as Lorraine's!

1St Fondant Cake
This is my very first shot at making a fondant cake, i also made the fondant i'ts marshmallow. it was originally for practice but happened to be someone's birthday the next day so it turned into a birthday cake, i had no plan for what this one would look like i just went with the flow and it kinda went in a Tiffany&Co. theme direction. I learned a lot with this one, what to do / what not to do and i can't wait to make more and learn more.
