Scorpion Bowl Cake
So Much fun to do! Did this for a friends birthday; she's a bartender at a local sushi place! Baked the cake in a Pyrex bowl to get the shape, put fondant figures on the frosting, then covered the entire cake in fondant and painted it with Wilton food gel mixed with a little bit of vodka. The top was done with Squeeze tube candy (sour watermelon), crushed up pink rock candy, and rolled out sour patch watermelons. I put an actual shot glass so we could light 151 in the middle just like they do at the restaurant haha. Thanks for looking!

Puggle Cake
Attached a photo the owner wanted me to base the cake off of, didn't add the white muzzle because I didn't want to remind the wife of the man who ordered it that the dog was older :) I did the paisley print with my edible printer and put it onto fondant. This was a gluten-free cake and took a few times to bake right. Thanks for looking!

Bass / Fishing Cake
Had a lot of fun with this one! marbled the fondant with dark and light blue then added the brown sugar ("painted" on a mix of water and corn syrup first) and winged it from there! I had always wanted to do a cake that looked like a picture coming out at you, this was my very first one and I am thrilled with how it came out! The Bass started out white... I made paint with a smidgen of vodka and Wilton gel food coloring. I painted the fish and the rope. To shape the fish I looked at Google images of Bass; I found it easier to work off of an illustration vs. an actual picture of a bass. My boyfriend is an avid fisherman and having him on deck to help me with the coloring was great. I made an impression for the eye then rolled a little ball of fondant for it. The tan gill-thing, the upper lip and the fin were added on after I had formed the basic shape of the body. I used my fondant tools and the smallest circle cookie cutter i had to make the impressions all over the body (before placing it on the cake). I took A LOT of time on the painting to make sure I didn't splatter it on the cake. When I had put the fish on, I sliced a little into the blue fondant so that I could further the idea that the bass was really coming out at you from the water. The line from the bobber to the hook is butter cream icing. The rocks, bobber, hook and lake-weed are fondant. I put paper towels under the back fin to dry it in the position you see here. Thanks for looking and thanks to everyone for the continued inspiration on this site!!! :)

Wiggles Birthday Cake
A family member saw me making the cake and asked if it was a "gay pride star trek themed cake" hahaha. :o) Its actually a 2nd birthday cake for a little girl of who is obsessed with the Children's TV Show "'The Wiggles". The 2 is a candle and I used regular fondant for the first time on my Cricut Cake to write Peyton. I rolled it out thin right on the Cricut cutting mat and then froze it before using it with the machine...now I prefer using regular fondant rather than spending tons of money on those super thin Frosting Sheets that the company markets! Thanks for looking!!!
