Notre Dame College Jersey Groom's Cake/birthday Cake
My niece asked me to make a "surprise" college jersey cake as a surprise Groom's/Birthday cake for her now-hubby. Added initials of a best friend who had passed away the year prior (lower left corner of jersey) Cake was 1/4 sheet cut diagonally top to bottom then flip/stacked for the extra height at shoulders. Used mini wonder mold for shoulders. Torted all and filled/frosted with buttercream then covered in fondant. "ND" letters on shoulders were buttercream, lettering on lower right tag was edible marker. Cake was a hit at the wedding. Groom was surprised/touched and loved it :) TFL

Bridal Shower Cake
A cake I made for my little Sis' Bridal Shower. Book cake on top of 1/2 sheet all covered in BC and then homemade MMF. Top pages are rice paper with writing done by hand in edible food markers. Ribbon is MMF as well as covering on book binding. All flowers were my first time "practice" flowers, fondant/gumpaste cherry blossoms. I will be making more of them for her wedding cake in a couple weeks. TFL

Fondant And Gumpaste Final
This was my "final" cake for the Fondant and Gumpaste class. I improvised a bit on the "Fantasy flower" that they taught (I thought it needed to be fuller LOL) Double layer 8"round w/BC filling and homemade MMF covering and gumpaste flowers and leaves. Love fondant and Gumpaste work!

It's A Pizza Cake ;)
Single layer 12" WASC cake, "crust" made from homemade MMF thinly covering BC frosting. Cut away fondant and made an indentation in top for "sauce and toppings" which consisted of: Sauce: buttercream frosting colored to match pizza sauce Toppings: Pepperoni - milk and red chocolates mixed together with corn syrup to make chocolate plastic, rolled between plastic wrap and cut with small circle cutter the allowed to harden in a flower former in various waves. Cheese, white chocolate shavings Mushrooms, buttercream frosting with striping in bag using dark brown piping gel green peppers and black olives were buttercream frosting as well. This was for my Hubby's Birthday this year, his favorite food is pizza. It's also where I was working when we met (I was a cook for a major Pizza place) :)
