Happy Birthday
I made this for my husbands 40th b-day. I had no idea what to make for him so i decided to include some of the things he likes. He loves the Lions, U of M, computers, and sports. Also because he is in school earning his master's degree I added the books and he is also in a fraternity so I put his greek letters on there. He loved it and I am also happy with the way it turned out.

Baby Shower
Thank you to whoever was the first one to design the diaper bag with the bows, there are many versions of this cake on the internet as well as this site and I appreciate the inspiration. The cake is strawberry with cream cheese buttercream frosting covered in fondant. all of the accessories are made with fondant. This cake took me forever to complete but I am happy with the way it turned out.

Coach Purse And Shoe Cake
Thanks to the over 1600 coach purse cakes on this site I was able to make my first purse and shoe. This was very fun to make and I am pleased with the way it turned out which is unusual for me because I never think my cakes turn out well. The cake is covered in MMF and the shoe is gumpaste, the makeup is fondant and gumpaste. Can't wait to make another purse:)

Rosette Cake
I see these cakes on this site daily so I thought I would try it. Did not turn out that good because my hand started shaking after the 4th rosette. I also think these cakes are much prettier white. Also my buttercream was too soft. I'll try this again soon, maybe it will turn out better.

Movie Night
Another movie cake! I have been wanting to do one for a while and I was able to get some great ideas from this site. I have been decorating cakes for 5 months now and I am self taught. Can anyone tell me how I can get my layers from leaning and sagging to one side? this popcorn bucket looks ok from the front however from the side it looks like its going to fall over.

Colored Rose Anniversary Cake
made this for my wedding anniversary. My first time making roses and I owe it to a lady in Michael's that told me all I needed was a plastic bag n 7-8 little balls of fondant and it worked out pretty good. I think I'm getting better at this cake thing and can only hope i get as good as some of you pros one day!

Football Birthday Cake
I made this for my son who turns 16 today. He hates fondant so I used buttercream and I am not that good with it yet. He just returned from U of M football camp so I decided to co with those colors. This cake was fun to make but the helmet gave me a headache. I read that most people use gumpaste so i will try that next time. Besides the fact that my 10 year old is jealous, all my boys love this cake.

Graduation Laptop Cake
I made this for my husband when he graduated from college. This was a disaster and I know it. It took me so long to try and get the monitor to stand up I was too tired to put letters on the keys. The laptop is rkt and I made a monitor out of rkt also however when it didn't work I decided to just cover cardboard in fondant. If anyone has any ideas how I can successfully make a laptop cake I would love to hear them. I atleast have two years to get it right because that is when my husband will be done with grad school.

Graduation Cake
I made this cake for a cousin who graduated from college and loves motorcycles. I recently started making cakes so I still have a lot to learn about. This was my first time making books and probably my last because I had a hard time covering them with fondant. I have gotten a few ideas off of this site and I am excited to learn more in the future from some of you cake pros!
