This was for a co-ed shower held at a really nice restaurant . They're a little hard to see in this photo but the cake has chocolate baby items that I molded (pacifier, rattle, blocks, etc.). There's also a weird black mark on my camera lens that shows up in the lower left area - that's not really a mark on my cake :)
the cosmetics bag and gift box are snickerdoodle cake with cream cheese frosting and vanilla fondant; the make up pieces are all fondant with some pearl dust for sheen, the face powder is acutally cinnamon because her makeup really is that color. The flower is gumpaste and the necklace is the only inedible part of this cake. This was for my sister's 39th birthday...she was getting down about being so close to 40 but this cheered her right up! She refused to cut it so nobody but my Mom & me had any idea how good it was because we ate all the cake scraps. I intended to make cake truffles with them but it was sooooo tasty that the scraps just didn't make it that far.
fondant monogram, fabric ribbon
This was another summertime cake that I had trouble with my buttercream doing weird things like buckling and being a bit shiny.
My husband turned 40 this year and he's a lifelong Skins fan.
buttercream with fondant details
One of the "turrets" moved on me and you can see where the purple sparkling sugar attached itself to the side of the cake...I did get a chance to repair it before the birthday girl saw it. The little girls at the party went crazy...it was so much fun for me!
Buttercream iced with fondant details; vanilla cake with dulce de leche filling - yum yum...
These were for a group of preschoolers who were learning about Autumn. I think their teachers were more excited about eating acorns and leaves than they were!
Wilton star pan and cake picks
fondant pumpins, sunflowers, and leaves, caramel acorns, chocolate buttercream icing
My husband and I always disagree on which tie he should wear. He always ask me if he should wear the ugly paisley one and I ALWAYS say no, so for Father's Day I decided to give him an ugly paisley tie!
This is one of my first attempts at figure modeling. I have a looonnnngggg way to go. He's still cute, though...he makes me laugh!
This was for a cake walk at my son's school...Winterfest Celebration RI tree, fondant snowman & ribbon
This was for an older bride/groom who decided they didn't want anything too traditional. All buttercream and fun to make, it was also fun to eat...especially the strawberries!
Gumpaste calla lilies (thanks Tonedna1 for the tutorial), buttercream covered cake...it was August and I had some problems with the buttercream in the South Carolina summer heat.

This cake features the graduate's high school mascot, a photo of her, and the logo of the University she chose to attend.
vanilla buttercream, cookies 'n cream flavored cake ~you can see where my little one picked up a cookie and tried to get a cookie off the top!~
BC iced cake with gumpaste roses and fondant leaves/rope border/dots
gumpaste tiara with silver sparkling sugar and pearlized sprinkles, gumpaste flag/doors/windows/ As you can see here, one of the sugar cone towers hit the side of the castle before it went on but I didn't have any time to try to repair it any better than this before I had to leave for the party 2 hours away. The guest of honor was still very happy with her pretty pink princess castle (those are her exact words!!)!
