Graduation - Lions Pride
Twin girls are graduating from elementary school to middle school. The bottom tier represents their elementary school with the mascot. The top tier is the middle school where they will be going. The lions are RKT covered in MMF and hand paint. The megaphone and basketball are MMF; colored then hand painted. Thanks for looking.

School Bus Birthday Cake
This was for a friend's grandmother's 80th birthday. Grandma is a retired school bus driver. This is the largest cake I've ever made; it was 2-ft long and 10-inches high. It wouldn't have been so lumpy however as construction proceeded it became too large to get in my refrig - OOPS! Oh Well! Grandma and everybody at the party loved that cake and that's what counts.

What A Disaster
This was the cake from H-E-double toothpicks. The humidity and heat had gone up and fondant trouble came with it. The fondant kept drying out quickly and cracking. After having to tear the fondant off and replacing it 3 times the basketball came out lumpy; the back of the ball is an abject disaster. I finally had decent lines on the ball however because the netting kept drying out and cracking and falling off the cake quicker than I could make it, the lines were smeared on the ball. I also had to use toothpicks to get the nettting to stay on the ball. The only saving grace is the child it was for thinks it's the greatest cake ever. Glad she was happy, I'm not. :(

Green Bay Packers Super Bowl Xlv Champions
My Dad is the biggest Green Bay fan ever. I just got home for our Super Bowl party, my Dad is elated. While there is very little left of the cake, what was left he is taking to work with him tomorrow. By the way, that's all butter cream, except for the logos, the towel and the teeth; those are gum paste.
