Tall Tier Wedding Cake
This cake was about 7-1/2 feet tall from floor to the top (includes table). The flowers were added by the mother of the bride. I used the single plate separators with 9" legs to allow for the flowers they wanted to add. Each tier was a different flavor (white almond, chocolate, lemon, strawberry and white again).

"the Barn"
My friends must sit around and think....what can we have her do next??? This one wanted a replica of the barn that they love. The top and sides are fondant made to look like tin. The right side is cake covered in fondant. It turned out to look very much like their barn. The left side of the structure I made with square wooden dowels and new paint stir sticks for the structure, then covered it in fondant "tin" that had dried for several days.

Pretty In Pink And Gold
This was a french vanilla cake with chocolate fudge buttercream filling - completely covered in fondant. The jewels on the top layer are fondant (painted with luster dust) and all of the gold was hand-painted. The design was requested by a friend's daughter. It is two-tiers of a five-tier cake she had found and loved. This was my first time hand-painting a cake, but loved the finished product.

High Tea....
The teapot was made with the sports ball pan. I baked three halves and used the third half that I cut down for the teapot lid. The teacups were baked in coffee mugs, then split open and hollowed out a little bit to hold a chocolate chip buttercream filling. All of the cake was WASC and the buttercream filling was chocolate chip. Thanks for looking!

Tractor/farm Cake
This was a cake for a little boy who wanted a green (John Deere) tractor. Enjoyed adding the bugs and animals. He also loved catching the cicadas that came out here in Mississippi a few weeks ago, so his Mom wanted me to add those. Definitely not "to scale" since the bug is almost as big as the cow and bigger than the ducks.
