Love In Bloom
Took me forever to get all these stupid flowers on there! It was my first time trying marshmallow fondant, and I didn't like the way it looked rolled, so at the last minutes I decided to do a field of blossoms... Then half way through I got frustrated with the look at came up with the heart. Felt much better after that. Cake was for a "Trash the Dress" photo shoot.

Aubrey's 1St Birthday
Was supposed to be a pillow cake, but the square cake I'd baked had to be used for a friend's cake at the last minute, so I had to use circles instead. My first attempt and I learned a lot. RI tiara was fun once I got the hang of it (and after I broke a few). Normally I only work on dummies, so it's interesting what a difference it is working on actual cake.

No Cake Is An Island...
Palm trees are RI piped onto kebab skewers. I originally made 4 and picked the best 2 (the first I did looked like it belonged in a Dr. Seuss book). Island is a digestive cookie with a little brown sugar and the ocean blue mousseline buttercream with white occasionally spattered in. Think it turned out pretty well for a last minute idea.
