Monster's Inc 2Nd Birthday Cake
Monster's Inc Theme 2nd' Birthday for my daughter. She absolutely loves Mike Wazowski from this movie and I saw so many cute Monsters Inc cakes on CC that I had to give it a whirl. The cake was three layers on the bottom of french vanilla pound cake and inbetween the first layer was a cream filling that I use for cream puffs, then the other layer had a strawberry lime mascarpone cheese filling. Top tier was triple chocolate cake with chocolate whipped filling. Mike was made of RKT, fondant, gum paste and edible airbrush paint. Thanks for looking! :)

Peanut Butter Chocolate Ganache Cake
Peanut Butter loving client... Dark Chocolate cake filled with whipped peanut butter cream, then frosted in peanut butter icing, then frosted in whipped milk chocolate ganache, then doubled poured chocolate ganached on top. Little balls surrounding the cake are just cake balls made from left over cake and PB frosting dipped in chocolate ganache. Yum! Serves 16.

Fixed 30Th Birthday Cake
This was the first time I ever had to "fix" someone else's cake. She brought it to me with the frosting just sliding off all over the place. I ended up wiping it clean and just starting fresh with some whipped frosting and fondant. I tried to stay as close to the original as I could.

Sports Theme Birthday Cake
The client requested a cake for her granddaughter and all she could tell me was that her favorite color was green and she played basketball, softball and soccer. This was a blast to make and I ended up carving out areas of the cake for the balls to fit into for better effect. Red Velvet cake with chocolate cherry filling, covered in fondant. Balls are rice crispy treats covered in fondant.

Manolo Blahnik Blue Shoe Cake
Shoe is made from gum paste/fondant mix and edible airbrush paint. I didn't have a mold or form, so I bought a cheap shoe that had a similar arch, cut away all of the shoe except for the sole and used that as the form for the gum paste sole, then built the shoe up from there.

Tinkerbell Cake
Tinkerbell theme cake for a friends daughter's 4th birthday. Cake was 3 tiers, covered in marshmallow fondant and all decorations are made of fondant and gumpaste. Tinkerbells wings are made of gelatin and she was 9 inches from head to toe. I have seen a lot of similar cakes, so I'm not sure who to give direct credit to, but I took a lot of ideas from the cakes I've seen on this site.
