Tinkerbelle Doll Birthday Cake
My 2yr old niece loves Tink so...this was perfect for her. Tinkerbelle doll in a cake, strawberry, confetti cake with vanilla mousse filling and buttercream frosting. MMF leaves and accents. I absolutely LOVED doing this cake. It was so fun to do the details. The Cake is made by baking your mixes in a 8cup glass/pyrex measuring cup. I also used a 9" round for more cake, on the very bottom. Removed Tinks clothes and wrapped her in plastic wrap, covered her head until I was completely finished. I forgot to attach her wings in these pics because the cake was going to be transported.

Pot House Cake
Birthday for my little sister...she own the Pot House Garden Center..and one of the buildings is designed like an upside down flower pot. This took lots of my patience, getting the correct slope on the pot and then the MMF covering was not cooperating. Chocolate layers, french vanilla layer and White Choc pudding mousse filling. This was one on the moistest cakes! The little figure is made of polymer clay..easier to keep that way :-)

Detail Ducky In Barrel
Double layer New York Style Cheesecake 9" x3" thick each layer. Mother to be does not like cake so I made this wonderful alternative. the top water and duck are on cardboard so they could be lifted off, set aside. the bubbles are very large pearl like beads. ducky is one that you can use to tell you if baby's bath water is too hot.

Tiki Totem Cake
This was my very first 'different' shaped cake and first time using fondant. The design/idea came from a yahoo image search...I think I've seen the original on CC, too. Friends recommended making MMF (marshmallow Fondant). it was sooo easy and fun. The chocolate fondant tasted like tootsie roll...mmm. The cake is made with 2.5 mixes, totaling 5 8" round cakes, cut in half, so now there is ten. White icing inside covered with MMF. The sand is made from brown sugar, graham crker crumbs and gingersnaps. I made this for my sister's Tiki Opener party and her birthday. She loved it.. and now I love using MMF....oh the possibilities!

Skiing Over The Hill
A good friend is an avid skier and turning 40... This is my first cake with buttercream icing (thank you to the AgentCakeBaker for the buttercream dream recipe) This was soo much fun. The trees are sugar cones, the skier is MMF marshmellow fondant. Hand painted signs. Many thanks to all the wonderful ideas that others have posted! a few silly details..the bunny, squirrel and a beer can. all MMF there are skewers in the sskiier...to keep him on the cake..he had a 2.5 hr drive...didn't want him to crash.
