My Fair Lady
this was done with inspiration by the Merci Beacoup cake which was inspired by the movie My Fair Lady. i used the garland marker to mark where my swags were going to go, but it didn't line up very well. i didn't use the marks and now i'm stuck with the holes. the bow and balls on the bottom are made of gumpaste. the balls were airbrushed with a pearl sheen to look like actual pearls. i'm not very pleased with this cake, but still learning new techniques.

Ganache Cake
this was a 6" yellow cake with raspberry filling covered in a semisweet chocolate ganahce. i'm kind of obsessed with this combo right now :D all piping was also done in ganache. STILL working on smoothing... but on the bright side: my wax paper came out from underneath very easily this time around. progress!

Mini Ice Cream Cones
these were made just because i wanted some cake and i hadn't used this pan yet. it's the mini ice cream cone pan from wilton. i don't think they sell them anymore. i think they came out pretty cute! i was too lazy to "really" decorate them, so i just dipped the tops in ganache and threw some sprinkles on them. also, the cake is just the recipe on the back of the cake pan box! it was surprisingly REALLY good!

Card Game Cake
this is a cake i made for my gran's weekly bridge game. yellow doctored cake mix, raspberry filling, milk chocolate ganache covering, MMF card accents. the cards were horrific to do. almost all of them are cracked. my wax paper got stuck under the cake (that's the mess you see on the left). and i'm still working on smoothing my ganache better. always a work in progress!

To Wong Foo
this cake is based on the movie "to wong foo, thanks for everything, julie newmar" and it's for my friend's birthday. there's a shoe, wig, false eyelashes, lipstick, a julie newmar picture, a badge that says "dullard", a strawberry, a bow, and sunglasses all made out of gumpaste. there's also a sign that says "welcome to snydersville" that's not edible. you can't really tell in the picture but mostly everything is covered with pearl luster dust and there are little rhinestones on a lot of stuff. no, the feathers are not edible, but it's just for a close friend and it's only going to be us two celebrating. this cake was just too much fun!

Trial Run Purse
As the title says, this was a trial run for a cake a friend has asked me to make for her sister. I've never carved or done anything even remotely close to this. It's a very rough draft, I'll for sure do another run through because this is obviously not okay to send out... I learned what I need to work on, which was the whole purpose :)
