Star Wars & Rainbow Brite theme cake for a joint birthday party. * Please see my other photos for pictures of the Rainbow Brite side.* Featuring Obi Wan Kenobi and Grand Admiral Thrawn with his ysalamiri (from the book series) with Rebel Alliance and Federation symbols, as well as design elements inspired by a star destroyer spacecraft. All figures and details made from modeling chocolate. Top platform under Obi Wan is RKT; cake itself is red velvet with dark chocolate buttercream. All covered in MMF. This was my first attempt at scuplting any kind of figures, and also my first time making and working with modeling chocolate (love this stuff!) Thanks for looking!

Zebra And Hot Pink Birthday Cake

Hot pink and zebra stripes to match the theme for a little girl's 3rd birthday party! (The birthday girl wore a zebra print tutu and wings, and hot pink ruffled top -- too adorable!) Everything is MMF, except the bow -- used Wilton fondant & gumpaste to give it more strength.

Butter Yellow And Periwinkle Flower Cake

This cake was made to complement the table decor at a tea party I hosted, but I think it would be perfect for Mother's Day, also. Chocolate cake with coconut buttercream filling, iced in chocolate ganache and covered in fondant. My favorite cake so far. :)

Racetrack Birthday Cake

I was asked to do this cake for my cousin's birthday... They had bought the little cars and some other accessories(not pictured) for the top and requested the cake be made to look like a portion of the racetrack and pit area.

Wilton 3 Present Cake

The ubiquitous present cake, from Wilton class 3. First time using fondant. :) This was a "creamsicle" cake -- orange with vanilla buttercream -- so I decided the decorations should be colored accordingly.

Damask Buttercream

Needed a cake for my final Wilton 3 class, but had no time for the elaborate fondant project I had planned. Good ol' buttercream! I figured I'd take the opportunity to practice piping, and thought a damask pattern and a few leftover royal icing roses would add a little elegance (thanks to the amazing CrazyCakeLady for inspiration!) Everything is piped freehand. Bottom cake is white chocolate with blackberry puree filling; top is lemon with blueberry. Thanks for looking!

Thomas The Tank Engine Cake

Thomas the Tank Engine cake to match the theme for a little girl's birthday. This was my first stacked cake. Many thanks to all the CC members whose cakes provided inspiration! (Forgive me -- I can't remember the names!) Thomas is a candle -- everything else is BC. TFL!

Lord Of The Rings Birthday Cake

Lord of the Rings cake, made for my husband's birthday. This was only my 2nd attempt at cake decorating. :) The design on top is the White Tree of Gondor; the writing on the sides reads "Happy Birthday Joshua" translated into Elvish and written in Sindarin Tengwar. Piped entirely freehand in BC. TFL!

70Th Anniversary Cake - First Tiered Cake!

Three weeks into my Wilton 1 class, my grandparents had their 70th anniversary. They wanted a 3 tier cake separated by pillars, so I decided to be brave and give it a shot! There are a lot of "firsts" here for me, and it was such fun to make. Yellow cake w/ BC icing and accents. The cake topper and little silk floral arrangements in the center of the tiers were made by my mom. :) TFL!
