Trying Buttercream
Cake is WASP filled and covered with Sharon Zambito's wonderful buttercream recipe and trying her method of getting buttercream smooth after watching her awsome DVD. Still have a lot to practice but have never gotten my buttercream so smooth. Thanks Sharon. The fondant flowers and birds were made with the new Wilton mould and dusts.

Thomas Train
Strawberry cake with strawberry/buttercream filling covered with almond buttercream. Train and tracks made out of fondant mixed with gumpaste. The face took quite a few tries and quite a while to make. My friend's grandson who the cake was made for was just thrilled. Inspiration came from many pictures seen here on CC. Thank you all

Teddy Bears Picnic
Made two cakes for my grand daughter's third birthday. This was the Teddy Bears Picnic. Made all the teddy bears and other decorations ahead of time and was able to assemble blanket and all picnic items on day of birthday as well as doing the side of the cake. Lots of time but lots of fun also. This was my fourth cake.
