Monster Cake
Butter cream with fondant/gumpaste accents. The 2-d creatures on the side of the cake came from a clip art site, they aren't my own design. This cake was so much fun to put together. This is the second year my son has asked for a monster cake. I hope he grows out of it soon or I may be out of inspiration! :-)

Dragon Cake
The dragon on top was made to look like the birthday boy's favorite stuffed toy. Accents are gumpaste and royal icing. I ran out of my usual cake circles and had to use one that was grease proof. The cake slid half off the cake board during delivery. I had to go back home and redo the border but, thankfully, the cake was undamaged. It was good as new when I handed it over, with one addition... a skewer! It could have been so much worse, I'm thankful.

Star Explosion
This cake was a challenge, mostly because it was done in someone else's kitchen. It was an eggless chocolate cake with chocolate crusting buttercream, fondant and gumpaste accents. He requested a laser gun since his party was at a laser tag place. It was for my dear friend's son who, due to food allergies, could not remember ever having a birthday cake. I really wanted it to be perfect for him and was disappointed with the outcome. He liked it, though. 10 year old boys don't critique cake decoration. :) My son was present and said it tasted good, so kudos to my friend for making a yummy eggless cake.

Luau
Luau cake fashioned after the invite. Butter yellow WASC cake with chocolate buttercream on top tier and plain on the bottom, covered and embellished in MMF with gumpaste flowers and lettering. When I stacked the tiers, before decorations, it was SO ugly! I was pretty worried, but I"m okay with the end result.
