One of my best friend's wedding cake! Got the idea off of Pinterst. She's allergic to almost all flowers so used she used Hens&chicks (Sempervivum) succulents in bouquets, center pieces and decorations. Each Succulent was hand made out of a mixture of fondant and gumpaste. I used several different tutorials and then pretty much winged it. The bride supplied the purchased topper.

Fondant and gumpaste gerbera daisies I made for the top of a wedding cake. Used Duff's red fondant and white gumpaste for the pinker ones(matched David's Bridal's Guava perfectly) and Wilton's copper and white for the oranger ones. She loved Gerbera's wanted several different colors on her cake :)
A very casual wedding cake I made for a friend of a co-worker. Very country casual wedding in the parent's back yard. Five layers on graduated levels that the bride set up herself. They wanted each cake to be different and loved polka dots and stars so they were very happy with it.

Tiki cake for our Father's Day BBQ. I used 4 6in rounds(separated and supported in the middle) of dark chocolate wasc filled with whipped ganache and covered in ganache fondant accents and royal icing flowers. I was going to cover the whole thing in fondant with the ganache underneath but decided to leave it with just ganache at the last minute. I think it turned out better that way.
A steampunk style cuckoo clock, inspired by my Great Grandmother's. All edible fondant and gum-paste except Popsicle sticks for the bird's stand and the pendulum. Such a fun theme and fun to make cake!
I cake I made for my aunt, who collects teapots. Ganache under fondant with fondant accents.
