Welcome Baby/we'll Miss You
I was asked to make a cake for a girl's last day of work before her maternity leave. The only instructions I was given was "Make something for a baby boy and can you make it a goodbye cake too?" This is what I came up with. The green, fence and grass is all BC, the figures and rolled roses are fondant/gumpaste. This was my first attempt at gumpaste figures, and I like how they turned out!

Reunion Family Crest Cake
Made for my family reunion, the image is our family crest. Tried to do a royal icing transfer, but the pattern was too delicate to do it without breaking. Did a transfer of the outline, and freehanded the rest right onto the cake. Held my breath the whole time, black and red leave no room for mistakes! The cake is large, used four 9x13 cakes. Roses handmade from gumpaste/fondant, no cutters. Cake covered in Fondariffic buttercream fondant (tasted great!), borders piped in buttercream, letters done with gumpaste and tappits, crest done with royal icing.
