Monster Cake And Cupcakes
For my sons birthday we decided to do a "make your own monster" cupcake theme. I created many different shapes out of colored chocolate. I made 1 larger cake for the candles and one example cupcake. The kids loved this! They made one for themselves and then one for their parents.

Purple Cake With Tiara
So this was my first cake using some of the techniques I learned here. The bottom layer is buttercream smoothed with the VIVA method. I tried the top layer the same but when I darkened the purple the color turned out pretty ugly. So I covered with fondant. I had some issues with the fondant...you can seee some of the sugar on the top that just never incorporated, but I couldn't roll it without it sticking and ended up with some sugar on it. Oh well. The tiara is made of white chocolate and I got the template from here. Overall I'm pretty happy with my first serious cake, since I never took a class.
