This cake was designed to mirror a friend's Dallas Cowboys-themed cornhole board. I added rice to the "cornhole bags" so they were more realistic when you picked them up. The cake was elevated about 45 degrees to give the slant the real cornhole board has. Thanks for looking.
The design of this cake was specifically requested to mirror one from Fem Cakes. The bottom tier is a 10-inch with more than 200 ruffled petals in aqua with a subtle ombre effect. The top tier is an 8-inch with quilting and a gumpaste bow. I got the "bling" ribbon from Michael's and the 17 on top is on a circle of fondant with melted candy melts spread on the back to provide strength since I procrastinated in making it! Thanks for looking.
Princess Leia Bird from Angry Birds Star Wars - I made this cake for my friend's daughter's 7th birthday. This is the second year in the she wanted an Angry Birds-themed cake!

The zebra print was fondant and I used fondant/gumpaste mix for the 'CC' and the birthday message on the front. All else is buttercream. I waited until the morning of to make the 'CC,' so I had to use some wire formed in the shape of the 'C' and wrapped in fondant, then stuck in a drinking straw for the backing of the letters. Putting them in the oven with the light on also helped to sturdy them up. Thanks for looking.

The roller skate was cut from gumpaste and the two sides were "glued" together with white chocolate and doweled into the cake. Thanks for looking.
This was an R2D2 cake made for a family member's groom's cake. The legs are not edible. I used Stacked Cakes information on how they did their version as a jumping off point. My friend has a mini-R2D2 robot so I was able to use that to make molds for some of the more intricate accents. Thanks for looking.

Turkey cupcakes inspired by many I have seen online, including ones by MyCakeSchool.com. I used tip 104 for the "feathers" and a small bowling pin mold to make the turkey bodies out of chocolate.

They were pumpkin cupcakes with cinnamon buttercream. Thanks for looking!

I made this cake for my husband's birthday. It is the model of VW bus that was in production the year he was born (1977). It's covered in fondant with edible images for the windows, decals, and license plates. I ended up rushing to get it done and had to put fondant behind the wheels to keep it from tipping over! But it held up pretty good and he really loved it.
