The bride picked the cute little bunny topper... of course I managed to integrate some butterflies up there too. Thanks for looking!
All gum paste, except for the heel which is gum paste wrapping a hand molded styrofoam piece that is subsequently hand painted.
This is my cake from the Florida ICED competition-- it was based on a wedding dress picture that I found (as the theme was romantic wedding dresses). The cake featured fondant/ gum paste draping on the bottom tier and string work and brooches between the bottom 2 tiers. The middle tier has string and extension work that was piped with the cake upside down. The floral separator is all gum paste- roses, hydrangea, and teal stephanotis. Board is isomalt. Thanks for looking! Cake took second runner up in the pro division.
Valentine's themed gum paste stiletto-- all gum paste except for one wire in the heel. Thanks for looking!

Thanks for looking! :)

Chocolate cake with chocolate mousse filling, coated with white chocolate ganache and covered in white fondant. Piping is entirely free hand with black royal icing, tips 1, 1.5 and a small leaf. I really didn't have a plan, just wanted to play, so it came out a little busy. :)

This is the 3D cake I created for the 2010 Threadcakes competition. Bear is 9 layers of cake/ buttercream with a cereal treat bottom, arms and legs. He stood about 18" tall. His penguin buddy on his shoulder is also RKT. The other 3 penguins are each 5 layers of cake, and the icebergs are also cake. The board is covered with 2 shades of blue isomalt for a nice water/ icy effect. All the details are fondant/ gumpaste held on with either tylo glue or royal icing. I built my own armature for this cake (so that Mr. Bear could stand on 2 precariously small legs), and all in all I think it took 55+ hours to create. It was a huge cake-. I made 6 batches of durable chocolate cake, 1 batch of Paula Deen's pound cake, and 1 batch of Carlo's cream cheese pound cake. Not to mention the 8 or so batches of buttercream, 3 batches of rice krispie treats, gumpaste, several pounds of fondant, a couple pounds of isomalt, some royal icing, luster dust, and whole lotta love. Thanks for looking!
Cake dummy covered in black fondant. Royal icing lattice rings, royal icing brushed embroidery suspended over the cake surface using a floating collar technique. Royal icing hand piped 'collar' elements. Bridgeless string work and extensions, free hand. Ribbon around the bottom is white fondant with a small fondant bow, royal icing stitching. That's a mouthful! Thanks for looking. :)
I made this cake for a 3 year old girl's birthday. The top pony is made out of cereal treats covered in a mixture of fondant and modeling chocolate. The mane/ tail, etc. are all fondant. The ponies around the outside were molded in fondant using a chocolate mold and then hand painted. The cake is covered in buttercream. Thanks for looking! :)
I made these two shoes by hand from gumpaste. Everything is edible except for a small dowel in each heel for structure. The one on the left is a stiletto-- the heel was made from stacked tip 12 circles. The buckle was made from gumpaste and silver dragees. The shoe on the right features royal icing string work which I hand piped with tip 1 and also used a stacked construction for the heel. Hope you enjoy!

I made this cake for a friend's PhD defense. The thesis is the cake-- covered in fondant and hand painted with the title and author's name with gold luster dust. The screen is fondant over cardboard. The figure and the projector are modeling chocolate, and the projector is equipped with a working LED, which shines on the screen.
Buttercream basketweave, royal icing flowers, color flow birds, luster dust accents.
All fondant/ stiffened fondant. I used the Wilton ribbon cutter/ embosser to stripe the bow and ribbons.
