Elephant Cake
This was for a lady's birthday from her children. She had nine kids and loved to collect elephants. The theme for the party was a safari theme, so I thought it would be cool to put nine elephants around the cake for the kids and "mama" elephant on top. I put some vines and used the light brown to stay with the safari colors.

Retirement Cake
This is a cake I made for a retirement party. The person retiring likes golfing and fly fishing so I was asked to try to combine the two in one cake. I covered the cake with fondant. Used an airbrush to get the basic blue and greens on the fondant. I made the flags out of fondant. The fisherman was sculpted out of rice crispie treats and covered with fondant. I hand painted the trees and golf greens using food coloring. The water was made with the homemade piping gel recipe from this site.

Fall Festival Autumn Cake
This is a cake I made for a cake auction at my daughter's school for a fall festival fund raiser. It was a big hit. I made an italian cream cake and covered it with MMF. I made the leaves and acorns out of MMF as well. I wish I had more time when I made the cake so I could have put some veining on the leaves.

First Wedding Cake Order
What a relief! My first wedding cake order completed and delivered. This cake was italian cream for the first 2 tiers and WASC for the bottom tiers. It was covered in ivory MMF since the bride's dress was ivory. The calas are made out of gumpaste. It was the first time I worked with gumpaste.

Skateboard Birthday Cake
This was a chocolate cake covered in buttercream. This was for a boy's 10th birthday and he loves to skateboard. He gave me the magazine and asked for something similar to what was on the cover. I tried to get a better picture of the book next to the cake but that was the best I could do.
