Tenn Tech Grad Cake
Tenn Tech are the Golden Eagles. I copied it from the printer then took an exacto knife and trimmed down to the outter yellow, placed it over the yellow fondant. Then cut it out. I took my template and cut it where the purple was and cut it out of fondant. Then I did it to the yellow and white. made yellow and purple diamonds and placed sugar pearls at the edge

Bird Feeder And Squirrel
Choc. cake with choc icing layers and buttercream covering the cake. Airbrushed rice cereal yellow and brown and had choc. sprinkles for birdseed. Roof airbrushed brown and green. Squirrel is 50/50 gumpaste and fondant. Mix was colored light brown then I airbrushed him brown in areas. I made the mistake of making his tail all out of the gumpaste and fondant mix and it was really heavy and knocked him over so I proped his tail on the feeder. This was for someone who hates squirrels getting into his birdfeeder. I gave him a napkin tied around his neck and the sign that says thanks for the food.

First Wedding Cake
Creamcheese buttercream. With fondant flowers and green ribbon. My sister did this cake together. (scruffyandstuff) We decided to not stack it until we got to the venue. It was a good thing too because we had to hit the breaks at a stoplight. The middle tier flipped over. We quickly took the cake to the kitchen they had and reiced and airbrushed the cake. I guess that is why you always bring a fix it kit.

Wall-E Birthday Cake
This cake was for my son's 4th birthday. Chocolate cake with vanilla BC and fondant too. The FIRST time I iced the cake I used an icing tip and bag I put on way too much icing on the cake. (about 1 1/2 cups too much) After I iced it I put on the fondant and airbrushed it. So the next morning I woke up to a very slanted cake. So I ripped off the fondant and did it all over again. This one looked much better than the first. So I was happier. The rest of the cake was rice cereal treats. My son was so happy he took everyone who came into the house over to his cake to look at it.

Boston Red Sox Grooms Cake
I offered to make this grooms cake for my new brother-in-law for their wedding. (since his family refused to buy one) In all honesty I was excited to make it for Joe. He is from Boston. Surprise. The cake is yellow, with chocolate fudge filling, and vanilla bc. The cake is covered in green fondant then airbrushed over it to give it texture. The stadium is cake as well with large sprinkles. The sign was rice cereal with fondant and RI. The hats are gumpaste. His hat warped a bit from drying and I didn't have enough time to make another. I took a foam Ball (florist foam) and cut it into a head shape covered it with plastic wrap so I could pull the foam out of the hat. The bride and groom are all fondant.

Spiderman Cake
This is a birthday cake for a 4 year old. They are 8 & 12 inch cakes. White cake mix but took food coloring and made it red and blue. I used my new airbrush machine on this cake, I colored the red and blue with it. I still have alot to learn about the airbrushing. The buildings are fondant, I airbrushed them too. Everything else is bc. The white over the buildings are supposed to be clouds. I'm not thrilled with the spider on top but there will be a spiderman candle on top! Thanks for looking, comments are welcome.

Xbox 360 Cake
My husbands birthday cake, an X-box 360. Cake is half choc. and the other is funfetti. Vanilla bc and fondant. I bought a new airbrush machine and this cake was my first attempt. The controler is made from the leftover cake, I squished it together and mixed it with bc then froze it so I could put fondant on it easily. An easy cake

I made this cake for my sister-in-laws bridal shower. the top layer is strawberry cake with strawberry bc. The bottom lalyer is white cake with vanilla and coconut bc. It's covered in fondant and the flowers are gumpaste. I'm very slow making the roses I could make 2 an hour. Many of the guests were surprised that I made it and didn't buy it from a bakery. I was thrilled.

My nephew Trey (Treyson is his nickname) grad. cake. Three different cake layers the top was white cake with buttercream the middle was strawberry with strawberry bc and the bottom was lemon with lemon bc. Fondant and a chocolate icing that my mom makes. The guy on top is Trey and he is all fondant. He was thrilled with it, it was just going to be a cap and tassle on top but the navy fondant was taking a very long time to dry, so I made him instead. That's the first person I've ever made and I'm happy with the results. BUT this cake was made by Mom and sister Cherie, so I can only take part of the credit. Let me know what you think

Wilton Class 3
I had done my stacked cake in class and took it apart at home and sent this bottom part of the with my hubbie this morning. (the top of my cake was a dummy) So I took off the fondant roses and put them on this cake, and then made buttercream roses, drop flowers and tons of leaves. The colors are a little bit off the fondant roses are mauve and the buttercream are peach.

First Fondant Cake
This is my first try with fondant. It was a dark chocolate cake with buttercream icing, and the Wilton fondant. The fondant was yucky, next time I'll try the MMF. The roses are buttercream too. I used gold pearl dust on the band of the cake. My father-in-law loved his cake. I thought fondant was really fun and plan on making more cakes with.
