Puppies In Carry Bag

I did this cake as a donation to the auction to benefit my local Humane society. I made a basic 'bag' cake and covered just the sides with white chocolate fondant panels. The puppies (one pekingese and a maltese modeled after my own baby, Max) were made from cake baked in the wilton small teddy bear 3D cake pan. I cut the teddy bear in hlf and used the bear head for the Maltese and for the Pekingese, I turned the lower half of the bear upside down (to give me a wide, flat shape for it's head). I piped buttercream icing faces and 'fur' on each and added a small strip of fondant for collars and larger strips for soft handles/shoulder straps. I carefully placed fondant 'blankets' around the doggies and added fondant ruffle to trim it out.

Yule Log Cake

Christmas yule log cake. Rich, moist chocolate sponge cake with my real chocolate buttercream icing filling. Chocolate ganache 'bark' created by spreading roughly with offset spatula. Mushrooms are baked piped merengue, stems and caps glued togather with melted, cooled chocolate. A gumpaste poinsettia adds color, and dusted powdered sugar around the cake represents snow. My kids LOVE this cake. You can make it a purely nature cake by using icing or rice paper butterflies or birds and hand molded creatures instead of mushrooms and poinsettia.

Gala Cake In Lights

Over the top cake for I did for a private school benefit auction. Tiers are in the school colors (blue and orange) But client wanted the Red/white and blue theme on it as well. (This cake would be better in purist Red, White and Blue). Tiers are varying flavors , all covered in white chocolate fondant with white chocolate fondant swags and decorations, plaques and trim. Between some tiers, there are hand made roses made from tissue paper with disposable LED lights in each one. They are placed on the separator plates, then snaked with battery operated floral light strings that flash. Topper is an LED light spray that also changes colors. A fun cake for those wanting to go over the top.
