First Communion For A Girl
Cross is chocolate with chocolate SMBC filling. Bottom is vanilla. I ran out of my double batch of SMBC after covering the cake and smoothing it, so I bought Wilton decorator icing for the accents, which gaveit a two tone look. flowers are royal icing and gumpaste and all other decorations are gumpaste.

T-Rex Head With Dinosaur Cupcakes
This was a dinosaur extravaganza for my son's 7th birthday. the T-Rex head was sculpted and molded using a combination of yellow cake with buttercream icing, RKT and covered in fondant. The cupcakes are chocolate with Chocolate SMBC and topped with dinosaurs made of gumpaste using the patchwork cutters. Everything is hand painted with food coloring. I was going to airbrush the dinosaur but my airbrush wasn't working.

Stained Glass Dancing Pig
My first attempt at the "stained glass" technique. I tried to transfer to SMBC using a traced piping gel pattern, but it wouldn't transfer at all, so I ended up using the toothpick method and drawing it directly on the cake with decorator icing. I did this all in one day from baking to decorating (it was for a surprise birthday party and I had to do it on the one day when she wasn't home!). Cake is vanilla with a dash of lemon extract, filled with vanilla buttercream and rasberry preserves.
