Surfer Cake
This was for my friend Steve's 50th bday. He has a surfer party and this is the cake that I came up with. This was a fun cake to make. Around the bottom were handpainted surfboards, there were eight fondant girls on the bottom layer with a cookie sand texture. The middle was airbrushed with pretzel palm trees and gumpaste leaves with whomper (sp) for the coconuts, the top was a gumpaste wave with royal icing foam and a sufers with a light that my DH ran up the middle support pole to highlight him at night. Most of the ppl at the party did not even know this was a cake. Oh and my DH had hooked up a small speaker under the cake table and was playing surf music....TFL

Valerie's 19Th Birthday
For my DIL's 19th birthday. Bottom tier is choc cake with buttercream frosting, Top tier is vanilla cake with fresh strawberries. The fondant was a tough one on this cake, it was hot and sticky in California....Not so much fun to work with fondant, glad the cake is done and came out pretty good. TFL

Bodybuilder/weightlifter
Bodybuilder for a friend's boyfriend. Bodybuilder, mirror, weights, and weight bench all from 50/50 gumpaste/fondant. Real learning process on this cake. It was a hot California day and the fondant melted down, had to strip the cake and recover and paint again....was fun once I got it to behave.

Ryan's Graduation Cake
Three tier cake, bottom is vanilla cake with choc fudge filling, middle is dark choc cake with oreo cookie buttercream filling, top is just vanilla cake. The dipolma is RKT covered in fondant and the whole cake is covered in fondant, the little guy at the top is gumpaste with fondant clothes. This was lots of fun for my DD and me to make. A lot of work, but we got it done and are very happy with the results. Thanks for looking.

Bakugan Balls
Eight year old's birthday cakes. One large cake ball, 1/2 vanilla 1/2 choc. Same with the smaller balls. All buttercream with airburshed color and hand piped details. Had to learn something new with these. Went to Wal-Mart just to see what they were and what they looked like. Fun but very time consuming. Thank you for looking.
