Janey's Birthday
I made this for our neighbor's daughter. Bottom layer is in my favorite - WASC and the small top layer is in chocolate. All buttercream with fondant/gumpaste accents. This has been one of my favorite type of decorating styles lately. I got the idea for a "glittery #3" from another cc'er and thought it turned out pretty good for my first attempt. We had a difficult time finding Dora decorations-so printed out pictures and then laminated. This was fun putting together!

Jessies Birthday Cake
Zebra cake - WASC, Pink cake - chocolate, small cake - banana. All iced in buttercream with gumpaste and fondant decorations. This was for a glamour, makeup and dressup party for my granddaughter and 6 girls at a photo studio for her 7th birthday. A lot of cake, but Mom and Dad wanted extras and for all the parents later. After all this, Jessie was looking for her Zombie cake - couldn't see that at this party - so she is getting that one on her actual birthday - LOL

Cornelli Lace Birthday
Lemon cake with a raspberry filling covered in Buttercream made for MIL birthday. The filling was a little tart, but the combinatiion of the lemon cake and the sweetness of the icing was a good combination that everyone seemed to enjoy. Need to do a little more practice with the cornelli lace.

1St Tiered Cake
My finale cake for Wilton Course 3. I got the inspiration for this cake from another cake I saw in the gallery (sorry I can't remember who). I loved the fact that our instructor just let us do our own thing. The bottom cake was lemon with a raspberry filling and the top cake was cosmopolitan. By this time, I was getting pretty good at using the "viva" method and had several people ask if I used fondant. The only thing/problem I had was that the icing seemed to get white spots through out, and don't know why - still tasted good though.

1St Stacked Square Wedding
1st square stacked wedding cake! Bride wanted simple with ribbon color to match the bridesmaids dresses. Found that simple wasn't that easy - can't hide any flaws by using some type of piping, borders etc. WASC and used Indy's buttercream 1st time as well since it was an outdoor wedding and reception that held up wonderful.

Pirate Ship
Needed to have a pirate themed cake for a birthday and this is what I came up with. I made the "1st cake" Thursday night - next morning it had split in half (had my own shipwreck)LOL. Luckily I had another 9 x 13 that I was able to use. I was able to salvage the backend of the cake and piece in the front and middle. Over all, the 2nd one came out better than the first and everyone was happy with it.

Icarly Birthday!
Bottom layer is chocolate and the square is a wasc all covered in buttercream with some fondant cutouts. The ICarly banner was made with colorflow. The wasc was a special cake just for DIL (she had sworn off of sweets/desserts for 6 weeks and said that on the birthday she was splurging!!. Overall, the cake was a big success!
