Black And White 50Th Birthday
50th Birthday cake. When I delivered this cake, I almost peed my pants. They said sit it in the laundry room. OH OK, the laundry room was the size of my dining room! It had 3, yes 3 front load washer and dryers. They were small ones, but 3!!! HOLY COW. A 9,000 sq ft. house.

Just found it hanging around my neck.The animals are gumpaste as well as the barn. Now it takes a 2 hour trip across alligator alley in the back of a jeep.

Gone To The Dogs
2 9x13 sheets cakes with Indydeb's icing. French Vanilla layers. My daughter is a Vet Tech for VCA and they are merging with another clinic on Monday. This is for their grand opening. My first attempt at making figures. It was fun, we have Carrot the cat, Raz he is the house cat at the clinic, Dixie the dalmation, Winnie the weiner dog, Scooby and Benelli. I had trouble getting the edges smooth, and I also broke the layer almost completely in half trying to stack it.

Boy 1St Birthday
This cake was inspired by one here on CC This is for a lady my daughter worked with at the Apple. We offered to do his son's b'day cake since things were tight for the young mom. Then she tells us for 50 people. I was exhausted when this was done, but she loved it and I had fun with my daughter doing this. Deviled food chocolate bottom layer, vanilla top layer, with buttercream icing. Cup cakes are all yellow cake, smash cake is a layer of chocolate and yellow. I had left over chocolate! The cake is leaning I know and I've got a bulge in the smash cake. I used a different recipe on the smash one and it was so moist it settled after I took it out of the oven. I am learning.

Stars N Stripes
Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese Icing covered in MM Fondant. This cake has been a holy terror for me today. I am a newbie and I know this is ugly so be kind to me. +) I made this cake from scratch it's a sour cream pound cake recipe turned red velvet. I started to make the cc icing (from scratch) yesterday and saw a can of DH in the pantry, oooh save time. Iced the cake, thought the smell was a little off, but thougt it was just me and my allergies. This morning I was smoothing it out with some more and washed out the container.Saw on the bottom of can "Rec use by date 10-2009!!" OH POOH, I scrap off the icing (cause I'm not throwing away this pound cake) and then wipe off with a paper towel. Make my cc frosting, YUM YUM. Life is good, get out my fondant I made yesterday (first time ever, cause I'm trying to same $$). OH YES it rolls out PERFECT!!!! life is tooling along until, I color me some royal blue fondant I have to get hubby to help me knead it cause my hands hurt so bad. WELL! I get it on the top layer it's not too bad, I figure I can cover the crack with a star, I trim it. FIDDLE STICKS I trim it too short!!!!!!! Can't cover that up. YEAH YEAH you are asking how did you trim it too short. Well, I don't know, I'm having a bad morning...... So I take the fondant off the layer and chuck it in the sink, this layer has already had a bad time cause I tried to level it, by eyeing it. WELL I'm cockeyed!!! get out the leveler now it's a REALLY short layer. Icing is a mess, it's dried and lumpy!! GRRRR I get out my satin ice and color it light blue cause I'm not ruining this $$$ fondant. And here's my mess of a Memorial Day Cake. This is one that I will not forget soon. I'm a newbie mess is progress!

Pool
Square 9" devils food cake. Butter cream icing with fondant accents. This cake was inspired by a cake posted by Jaeger. I am a newbie so it's not where as nice as hers. This is a thank you for a pool company that helped me recently when I accidently drained the spa on my boss' pool. I was in a panic.
