Strawberry Margarita Luau Cake
This cake was a lot of firsts for me. It was my first time working with gumpaste (the trees and coconuts) , my first time working with or making piping gel (which I only ended up using in the waves), largest cake I've made (14inches), and my first time with this particular recipe. 14 inch strawberry margarita cake with lime curd filling and tequila lime buttercream. Trees and coconuts are gumpaste, the sun is candy clay, and the sand is a mixture of brown sugar, nilla wafers, and graham crackers. For my sister in law's 40th birthday luau. Thanks for looking!!!

85Th Birthday Cake
Dark Chocolate Cake (recipe from the back of the Hershey Special Dark cocoa box) with Marshmallow Twinkie-style filing and vanilla buttercream for my Grandmother's 85th birthday. These are my first royal icing flowers, it was just too hot to make them in buttercream, no matter how thick or cold it was. I have a TON to learn about royal, it made me crazy!!! Anyway... Thanks for looking!!

6Th Anniversary
Red Velvet Cake with vanilla buttercream and candy clay roses. For my parent's six anniversary..last year's ended in the cake disasters, so I'm not complaining about this one! The lettering is pretty mushed..I used (for the first time) one of those script kits, but I traced it with too large of a tip (#4). Live and learn.

Flower Cuppies
These are a few of the flower cupcakes I made for my aunt who is in the hospital with metastasized renal cell carcinoma. Fudgy chocolate cupcakes with marshmallow filling and vanilla buttercream. The ladybugs are candy clay. For some reason I've become completely incapable of making buttercream roses..I just seem to have forgotten.

(Wo)Man In The Moon
I made this cake for my mother's 58th birthday after she saw and fell in love with CakesUnleashed's absolutely gorgeous Celestial Moon Cake. Having neither the incredible skill nor the materials used the the original, I gave it my best shot and it made my mom smile. :-) The moon is candy clay over mmf, the stars are candy clay, the buttercream was colored with wilton violet with added blue, and the moon faces was colored with petal dust and shimmer dust. Thanks for looking!
