Cheetah/zebra Cake
Chocolate and vanilla cake, filled with chocolate buttercream. MMF, gumpaste flower. Hand painted. My cousin wanted this cake for his sister, unfortunately she never came to pick it up :( I've never made cheetah or zebra designs or done much painting so it was good practice for me.

Anniversary Cake
Made for my husband for our 6th anniversary. Inspired by our wedding cake which had fabric ribbon, fabric grape leaves and piped grapes. Did my own twist using gumpaste ribbon, gumpaste grape leaves and piped grapes. Just like our wedding cake, this is german chocolate with whipped cream frosting. Shortly after I took this picture the grapes on the side of the cake slid off. Guess that's what I get for using whipped cream in a warm kitchen. LOL! Still tasted good though.

Monkey Baby Shower
Made for my cousin. Top tier is WASC with a raspberry filling, bottom tier is cookies and cream. MMF. Cut the leaves out with a knife. First time making a monkey....could have been better. I'm self taught and still have so much to learn. Each cake there are some things that get easier but new problems arise....like the MMF on the top tier refused to roll out any thinner. I was a little disappointed in that but overall pleased with the cake. My cousin and his wife were happy with it.

First Wedding Cake
My sister's wedding cake. First wedding cake and first 3 tiered cake. There is a few things that really bug me about this cake but everyone at the wedding seemed to really like it. I was just thrilled that the cake made it safely there (an hour drive).Top and bottom tiers are banana with vanilla BC, middle tier is chocolate with MMF. All tiers are filled with brown sugar BC. I'm a self taught beginner and would appreciate any tips/criticism. Thanks!

Luau Birthday
Made this for my daughter's 11th birthday. This cake was a nightmare for me, I was sick, only had a few hours to work on it, palm tree fell over, didn't really think through the grass skirt (BC showing through) and I remember saying that I was never making another cake again. Birthday girl was happy with her cake though! Devil's food cake, mocha filling, vanilla BC, brown sugar "sand" and MMF decorations. I'm a self taught newbie and learn a lot with every cake that I make and even though I said I wouldn't, I know that I will make more :)
