Dreamsicle Birthday
Trying something new... new color scheme and my own character(s). The cake is white with orange/vanilla BC... tasted like a dreamsicle! This was also the first birthday cake the birthday girl had ever had that was her own... she's in her 80s and loved it! She's a delight and I am so happy that she was SO happy :) TFL!!!

Mixin' It Up!
My 5th cake since 8/2/9. I'm a newbie & I must say that I'm addicted to CC. For my brother-in-law. Cake is dark chocolate w/ strawberry BC filling and a modified buttercream. (I messed up the recipe but it turned out SO creamy & good!) Figures are fondant. My brother helped me with a few things. He did such a great job on the lil guy. His first time working w/ fondant. (He's hooked now too!!) TFL :)

Down On The Farm...
Dark chocolate/chocolate marble with strawberry buttercream filling and buttercream icing. Made this for my favorite aunt who "never had a special cake made just for her." It made my day to see her light up. :) Used a mix of fondant and gumpaste for the figures. My icing was waaaay too thick and very hard to pipe. Still learning... any comments/suggestions are appreciated and welcomed. Thanks so much for looking!

We'll Miss Ewe!
Ok so this is obviously not my best so far. Cake #3. I had some big issues with icing consistency (road sign). First time writing on a cake (scary) and also first time making a cake for non-family members. I was so upset when I got to the restaurant and the little lambs ears were broke off. I had no way to fix it :( My idea of dissolving fondant in water to use as glue... not so good. lol! It is BC icing, white/dark chocolate marble cake with fondant accents. Someone on CC gave me the idea for this one. I dont remember your name but thank you so much!! :D Also thanks for taking the time to look!! All comments/advice are appreciated. ~b~

My First Cake
Hiya! Im brand new to CC and wanted to share my first attempt with y'all. I used store-bought whipped BC icing... which I now know is way too thin. Also used classic chocolate tootsie rolls to make the bears and fruit tootsies for the lil cake and everything else. White cake mix with strawberry filling... I know, adventurous aren't I? Ive only recently read horror stories about filling cakes with gooey stuffs... explosions and disasters. Had I known that before I tried this... I probably wouldnt have dared attempt this! LOL Any comments would be appreciated! ~bethi
