Pig In Mud
Baked the body and the head in 2 different size Pyrex bowls, added the snout out of a small square of cake and shaped it a little. Covered the whole thing in fondant and added the ears and tail separately. Iced the board with brown buttercream for mud. Customer sent me a pic she had found somewhere and I was nervous about doing this one. It was actually very easy and I was happy with it.

Mother's Day Mini Cupcake Flower Bouquet
Mini cupcakes with buttercream flowers. My first cupcake bouquets for Mother's Day. Mom & Mother in law loved them. I thought they turned about pretty well. I don't like the pink too much. I have a hard time with Wilton's pinks. They are so bright! I used half styrofoam balls and 2 toothpicks per cupcake

Chocolate Buttercream Wedding Cake W/ Red Tulips
This was my first wedding cake. Had a some trouble with stacking it because of the kind of cake I used. Bottom layer is chocolate, 2nd layer is strawberry, 3rd layer is cappucino and top layer is chocolate covered with buttercream icing. The strawberry layer was too soft to support the weight of the other layers. I'll know next time! Lucky the bride was very laid back! I didn't make the sugar flowers, they were ordered but I did make the leaves. Bride and groom are both in law enforcement hence the cake topper. Glad the first one is out of the way!
