New Moon Book In 3D
This cake is red velvet with raspberry filling to give the most "blood-like" effect. I crumb coated it with chocolate buttercream. White fondant for the pages. Chocolate fondant colored with black incing gel. I made a gumpaste tulip with red and white colors. I then piped the lettering with buttercream and used silver glaze to paint over the title of the book.

The Island Of Maui
This 3D Maui cake was constructed using a 1/2 sheet cake carved and stacked iced with buttercream and covered with rolled fondant. I used gel colors mixed with almond extract to paint the colors onto the cake. I don't have an airbrush machine yet, so I use what I have! I crushed graham crackers for the beach, and buttercream icing for the ocean. The interenet research I performed on this cake has made me want to vacation there someday!
