The Amazing Spider-Man

Each 'stack' was one layer of cake covered in vanilla butter cream, then fondant. (Two white, two chocolate.) I used a pasta machine to cut the strips of fondant to make the spines of the books. Spider-Man's face and speech bubble were frozen butte cream transfer. After two failed attempts at doing the logo with that technique, I ended up just doing pinprick to transfer the logo.

Little Pink House - Housewarming Cake

I used 1 9x13 cake sliced and stacked for the base and 2 8x8 layers sliced and stacked for the top. This turned out to be not enough cake and I actually had to fill in with another that I had lying around. Chocolate Cake (mostly) with whipped ganache filling. All details are fondant. Royal Icing grass and flowers.

Wow Wow Wubbzy

8" square, 2 layers white cake with strawberry filling and vanilla buttercream. The client requested a Wubbzy theme including the 'Kickety-kick ball'. I found a coloring sheet online with this picture and I used this as a pattern to cut out the fondant applique. I also made 24 coordinating cupcakes with fondant cut-outs that spelled out "Happy Birthday Sarah" and "5".

Airstream Cake

This was an anniversary cake for a couple who are Airstream enthusiasts. I had several photos of the model that was requested, a 1953 Airstream Flying Cloud. I attempted to make it as accurate as possible. I baked the cake in 2 8 x8 pans then cut them in half. I stacked 3 of those 4x8 layers and added about an inch of cake scraps to each end then sculpted to create the shape. I cut the remaining 4x8 piece down to approx. 3x6x1 and frosted it with black buttercream and used that to raise the trailer. I used grey tinted fondant and brushed with dry silver pearl dust.
