Pirate ship cake for my son's 5th birthday. Sails are made out of gumpaste and everything else fondant. Has a disaster the day before him party when the entire bow of the ship fell off (cake was just not strong enough to support decorations despite dowel supports). I used approximate 23 rice krispy treat bars to reconstruct the bow of the ship and attach it to the cake. Thank goodness it worked!

This cake was for a lady who is into astrology and is a Taurus. She wanted a bull on the cake. She wanted it to be an astrological looking bull (not a cartoon), but still somehow be cute.

This was a cake I did for a breast cancer fundraiser. A representative from the Susan G. Komen foundation was there and they are going to put a picture of it on the official website - what an honor! I have a couple close friends who won the battle against breast cancer so I was more than happy to do this cake. Hears to all you strong women out there! :)
My first shot at a bubblegum machine cake for a friend who loves gum. The weather was 111F and super humid so I think that caused some buckling and cracking of the fondant. Would like to give this cake another shot when the weather is better.
