Finding Nemo Cake
My first tiered cake! The bottom tier is chocolate and the top is "yellow". The cake is covered in buttercream frosting and the decorations are fondant I got my inspiration from MANY other cakes here on CC but need to give special thanks to dragonflydoces and StacyN. I'm really happy with how my turtle came out, Nemo could have used some work (the birthday boy thought he was delicious though!). I ran out of time putting the finishing touches on the cake. Would have liked to have more sea life and maybe one more character from the movie. I didn't smooth down the frosting for two reasons; I was running out of time and I though it actually looked more "water like" the way it is.

Beach Birthday Cake
Birthday cake for my friend's 7 year old. Half chocolate, half yellow cake. Marshmallow fondant with gumpaste figures. The volcano is made from rice krispie treats covered in fondant with candy melts as the lava. The hut is also made from RKT with a fondant door, cookies and a frosting roof. Round cookies surround the cake and the sand is made from crushed graham crackers. This was the first time I've made anything from gumpaste and I was really pleased with the results.
