50Th Anniversary Cupcakes/cake
50th Anniversary cupcakes & cake with gold accents. 145 cupcakes but not all of them fit on the stand. I LOVE the stand that was built using Antonia74's directions so a big thank you to her! The B&G topper is the original from their wedding 50 yrs ago. I topped each cupcake with a chocolate heart that I dusted with edible gold dust or three gold sugar pearls. This was a lot of fun and I felt honored to be part of such a special occasion!

Ducky Baby Shower Giftbox Cake
Baby shower cake for my friends! The cake is iced in buttercream with a MMF bow, ducky and lots of bubbles. The bubbles are accented with edible pearl dust to make them look more bubbly :-) The cake is lemon with lemon filling. My first gift box cake, and square cake for that matter although I have done a couple sheet cakes. I got the design from Sugary Goodness.

Monkey Birthday Cake
Here is a bday cake that I made for me, my twin sis & a friend when we turned 29. My sis & her bf helped a ton by making 550 fondant bananas! Don't ask how long it took to make all those & for the 3 of us to put them on the cake & paint the brown accents. I made the monkeys out of chocolate mmf with regular mmf for the accents. My sis requested chocolate chocolate chip cake w/ peanut butter cream filling & sliced bananas. It was soo yummy! I was inspired by bmote1 & maimerbaker's adorable cakes.

Giant Cupcake Cake
Had a hard time getting a good picture of this cake because of the contrast between the top and bottom but it is a giant cupcake cake using the Wilton pan. The bottom is iced in chocolate buttercream and the top with vanilla buttercream. Topped with a fondant cherry and sprinkles.

Sunflower Cake
Sunflower cake for my co-workers birthday. I think this would make a really nice Mother's Day cake too. Darn Good Chocolate Cake with chocolate filling. Cake is iced in buttercream. Sunflower petals are MMF. The butterfly is store bought. I wanted to make one out of fondant but didn't have enough time. The design is based on a daisy from one of Lindy Smith's books, but I copied Lizbvic's idea of making it into a sunflower by coloring the petals yellow and using a store bought butterfly.

Red Sox Birthday Cake
Red Sox themed birthday cake for my Mom's 60th Bday (she is fanatic about her Red Sox!). The tiers are tapered and covered in MMF. The numbers are fondant that I cut out in a Red Sox font. The logo & pennant are fondant plaques w/edible images. There are two more logos that you can't see. The 3D baseballs are two of the 63 that we made as party favors for all the guests. They are white choc w/ red colored choc stitches. Thanks to mamacc for inspiring me with her Red Sox vs. Yankees cake.

Chocolate Overload Cake For Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving cake for my family. I needed something that I could stack, fill and ice at home but decorate after driving to L.A. This is Darn Good Chocolate Cake with chocolate filling and chocolate icing. Kit Kat bars around the sides and Reese's Pieces filling the top. I got the idea after seeing similar ones by Kiwi Cakes and Twinsline7.

Chocolate Birthday Cake For Dad
My dad requested an all chocolate cake for his birthday and isn't a fan of fondant so I had a hard time figuring out how to decorate it. This is what I came up with for a simple, cute cake. He loved it! Darn Good Chocolate Cake with chocolate filling and icing. Fondant letters painted with gold luster dust and cake sides covered with jimmies (aka sprinkles). That was a bit of a challenge to get those to stick on the sides but fun. The heart is red piping gel with sanding sugar.

Baby Girl Shopper Cake
This is a baby shower cake I made for my co-worker's wife who is expecting her first girl. She has been shopping like crazy since she found out she was having a girl so we thought this would be an appropriate cake. It is lemon cake with lemon filling and bc icing. The baby and details are MMF. The design is from the Wilton 2007 Yearbook ("Buggy of Bargains" - also on the wilton website). The design cracked me up when I first saw it. I followed the design except for adding more detail to the cell phone

Steak Cake!
This is my version of adven68's awesome steak cake. But, I forgot the USDA stamp, d'oh! and didn't quite do it justice since b/c I was really rushed. This was for a going away party for a friend we affectionately call "Mike the Meatman" because he works for a meat company and always shares with us. It is "Darn Good Choc Cake" w/peanut butter filling and choc bc icing covered in MMF. I painted the MMF w/icing colors. Thanks to adven68 for the design and tips!

M&m Birthday Cake
This is my version of Jellygirl's M&M cake. I made these for my husband's Mom and Aunt who are identical twins. They are chocoholics and we always catch them picking all the M&M's out of Costco trail mix so I thought this would be perfect. Yellow the Peanut M&M is "Darn Good Chocolate Cake" with peanut butter frosting. Red the plain M&M is the same cake w/o the filling. Both are covered in bc w/mmf accents. Thanks Jellygirl for letting me use your design! I will post closeups...
