Lsu Mike The Tiger
Inspired by lalaine's white tiger cake. This is a 10" x 3" WASC cake piped with buttercream. Whiskers are angel hair pasta. Ears are cookies (pecan sandies) covered in BC. Mostly used tip 21...but used smaller star tips to get in the narrow areas. The tip of the nose and eyeballs was done using a 4 tip.

St. Joseph Alter
WASC cake with lemon filling celebrating St. Jospeh Alter. I used 2 large wilton cross cakes. Shaved the top off of one so I could double stack since the pan has a beveled top. I don't know how I iced this so crooked. It was harder than I expected. Will do things differently next time.

Mardi Cookie
This unknown cookie recipe came with my container of 101 cutters, but it is the best cookie! Flooded the cookie with a combination of 2 recipes...Tara1970 & Toba Garrett's. I LOVE how smooth & glossy it is. The mask is a test I bought at Hobby Lobby. I filled it with white chocolate and cut out the eyes and tried painting on chocolate for the first time. My poor nephew gets a girly mask for his birthday, but Mardi Gras is about over and I didn't have anything planned with the chocolate mask.

Starburst & Tootsie Roll Man
This is the figure I am going to use on a cake. I got the idea from a cake here...it's the golfer who is watching his golf ball stop just shy of the hole. I made this in a couple minutes. I had a mold for the face & hands. I was just playing around, but I think I will keep it. The brown is tootsie roll...the colors are starburst.

Hummingbird Cake With Cream Cheese Icing
No really! This is a Hummingbird Cake Recipe with cream cheese icing that is Southern Living's most requested recipe. I have never heard of it before, but when I googled "hummingbird" to see the colors, I saw that there was actually a humminbird cake recipe. So, I baked it. I'll find out what it tastes like tomorrow. This is also my first attempt at brush embroidery. I used too small of a tip (2) because I couldn't pull enough icing to get the correct effect I wanted. Thanks for looking.
