Louis Vuitton Purse & Louboutin Shoe
Wanted to share my version of a purse and shoe since they both had some unique/difficult properties. The purse is a LV Fleur De Jais - which has a black floral pattern (with some grey) and sequins. I made the purse, then painted black & grey in the pattern. For sequins, I bought gelatin sheets, hole punched them and added lustre dust and black glitter. I then painted the LV logo on the cake. Should probably have painted the logos first and then gone over them with the black because it was difficult since much of the logo pattern was covered partially. (I was afraid of the gold luster dust coming through the black, though.). For the shoe, I had a hard time finding the best way to make a closed toe (which I find so much more difficult!). I bought a cheap shoe to use as my model and to dry my base (thanks PinkCakeBox turorial). After that dried, I sculpted the toe area out of Sculpey clay and saran wrapped it. I used this "mold" to dry a piece of gum paste on top. One my gum paste mold toe area was dry, I attached it to my shoe base. After good and dry, I was able to wrap the shoe in 1 piece of gum paste for the shoe top. My gum paste toe mold" underneath was a perfect support for the over laying shoe cover. Hope this makes sense! Thanks for looking!

Yo Gabba Gabba Cupcake Tower
I made this cupcake tower with dummies & cake drums. I painted paper strips like the backgrounds of each of the Yo Gabba Gabba characters and glued them to the drums. Then I added cupcakes the color of that particular character on the show to that tier. I thought it turned out really cute! (Total of 51 cupcakes)

Birthday Train
This cake was made to match the birthday boy's invitation. Used wooden blocks to build up underneath the train. The cattle-pusher/snowplow and gifts were fondant covered Rice Krispy Treats. The #1 and elepant with balloons were painted clay. Train is cake. The dirt is crushed graham crackers. Thanks for all the inspiration here on CC and thanks for looking!

Baptism Cake
5", 8", 11", 14" spice cake with cream cheese pastry filling and caramel buttercream fillings. This was my first 4-tier cake (I'm now on the SPS bandwagon - love it!). Crystal buckle and monogram cake topper. Royal icing scrollwork (I still need practice on that!), edible diamonds in the flower centers (disapointing!), silver dragees and sugar pearls. This was for a huge Baptism celebration - unfortunately, the cake was to be set on the bar of the restaurant so not the best background. Thanks for looking!
