Double Baby Boy Shower Cake
This was for a baby shower for 2 cousins, both pregnant with boys. Bottom 10" tier is WASC with strawberry BC filling; top 8" tier is chocolate WASC with cookies & cream filling. Frosted in vanilla BC with MMF accents (sneakers are 50/50). Still working on getting that darn BC perfectly smooth; it's my nemesis! I also made 6 dozen decorated cookies as well. I haven't slept in 3 days, LOL!

Dog-Themed 2Nd Birthday Cake
My 2-year old son is crazy about dogs ("gogs"), so we had to go with a dog theme for his birthday party. I drew lots of inspiration from CC'ers, especially mazdamoose and mooj. Many thanks! 10" deep chocolate version of WASC (YUM!) with raspberry buttercream filling and vanilla buttercream frosting. Decorations are MMF, gumpaste, or 50/50. I made doghouse & dog bone cookie favors as well. Thanks for looking!

Batman Cake
My 4 yr. old nephew wanted a lemon Batman cake. Got lots of inspiration from CC'ers, especially klpint (THANK YOU!). Lemon cake with lemon creme filling & vanilla buttercream. Decorations are fondant/gum paste mix (Batman is an action figure). I also made cookies with Batman's utility belt. My nephew flipped when he saw the cake. :-)

Baby Shower Cake W/converse Sneakers
My FIRST baby shower cake, for a family member; inspired by many on CC. Very challenging making a cake 400 miles away from home. So many things went wrong! The top cake of the bottom tier split everywhere as I was moving it around to fill & ice it -- it looked like an earthquake had struck & I had to do such a patchwork job on it. I just KNEW the bottom tier was going to completely collapse, especially once I stacked the top tier on it. But the cake gods were smiling upon me & it somehow held together! 10" bottom tier is triple chocolate with peanut butter filling, 8" top tier is WASC with lemon creme filling; all covered in vanilla BC with fondant accents. Shoes are 50/50 with gum paste laces. I wish I'd done many things different, but everyone (especially the mom-to-be) was in awe, and that's the most important thing!

Father's Day Bbq Grill Cake
My first attempt at a BBQ grill cake, inspired by others I found here on CC. WASC cake w/cookies & cream filling, iced in BC frosting. Food is RK treats covered w/MMF; mustard bottle & plaque are MMF/gum paste mix. Charcoals are toasted marshmallows sprinkled with powdered sugar. It didn't turn out exactly as I'd planned, but it was still fun & kitschy and everyone enjoyed it. Thanks for looking!

Fondant & Gum Paste Final Cake
This was my final cake for the Wilton Fondant & Gum Paste course. I wasn't too fond of any of the cakes in the course book; I wanted more vibrant color. This is deep fudge cake w/peanut butter filling & frosting, covered in homemade MMF, fondant ribbon (that's harder to do in one piece than I thought it would be!), and fondant/gum paste flowers.
