Pastel Cupcake Bouquets
Made these as "thank yous" for my daughters' religious ed teachers. Cupcakes were mix of white and chocolate cake with Melvira's cream filling (yummo) and frosted in buttercream. Put together using plastic cups per KHalstead's wonderful instructions. Small pieces of tulle used to fill in the bouquet. Thanks to the many lovely CC cupcake bouquets that were inspiration : )

Pink And Orange Birthday
Request was for a pink and orange birthday cake for a girl who likes shopping. They said to do whatever I wanted. Well I wanted to try painting on fondant and wanted to practice making a loopy bow, so this is what I did. Added shopping bags go personalize it a bit. They loved it. I love it when people tell me to do "whatever"!!

Pink And Green Tiers
This was a graduation cake - the graduate didn't want her school colors or any typical "graduation stuff"...and NO chocolate! It is all WASC with BC filling, covered in MMF with MMF accents. This is my first big stacked cake - I used SPS. It looks a little crooked in the picture, but it was level (they said their deck was not level).

Penguin And Puppy Pool
I made this for my twin daughters' birthday swimming party. One is crazy for penguins, the other for puppies, so I put them in a swimming pool. My first attempt at making figures. Got idea for penguin in "floaty" from a cake here on CC (sorry I don't remember whose it was). MMF with gumpaste figures and flowers. Water is blue BC underneath a little blue-tinted (and vanilla flavored) piping gel. Thanks for looking!
