Candyland
I actually made this cake at Christmas time since mini candy canes for the Peppermint Forest were easy to find. It is a 12 inch square cake iced in buttercream. The gingerbread people and cards are Rolled Buttercream (dried several days). The road is starburst candy. The characters are pictures I printed, laminated and attached to toothpicks. You cant see it very well because its in the back but I cut out the letters of Candyland with red and white marbled Rolled Buttercream.

Family Tree
I made this cake for my husbands grandmother on her 87th birthday. Tree trunk is chocolate cake iced with chocolate BC and cut from a template I made out of posterboard. Cupcakes are yellow with BC frosting. Each cupcake has fall colored leaves at the top to designate the leaves of the tree. Faces are mini Nilla Wafer cookies (they were the perfect size, shape and color I needed!) and personalized with the name and specific hair color/style of that family member (or NOT, as in the case of Uncle Bob!!). This was SO much fun to make!

Soccer Team Cupcakes
I made these for my daughters end of soccer season party. Their shirts were maroon with light blue lettering and the icing was the same even though it may not look like it in the picture. I used the grass tip and foil wrapped chocolate soccer balls. I put each girls shirt number at the top. The reason some of them dont have a number is because I couldnt remember some of them so I made note of the numbers during the game and added them in the car after the game!

Lid is cardboard painted with black food coloring and propped up with a dowel rod. Piano and bench are supported with Grecian Pillars spray painted black. Foot pedals and rose are MMF. Foot pedals are dry brushed with silver dust.

Coin Cake
This is a birthday cake I made for my FIL who is a coin collector. It is a 10 inch chocolate cake iced in buttercream. The image on the cake is an edible image of his face. My DH used a photoshop type program to give the photo an embossed appearance before I had it made into an edible image. The date is his birth year. I used a decorating comb to make vertical ridges around the edge and dry brushed with Nu Silver luster dust
