Jimmy Buffet Margaritaville Cake
This cake was created for my husbands boss who is a huge parrothead! The cake is red velvet covered in vanilla buttercream. 1/2 the cake is covered in blue tinted frosting while the other 1/2 is covered in grounded cookie crumbs to look like a beach. The palm tree is wrapped in chocolate fondant and rolled around a wooden dowel rod. I used scissors to snip around the base of the palm tree to give it a textured look. There are also shark fins in the water along with a life preserver, a cheeseburger from paradise complete with a lost shaker of salt, fries, pickle & a beer- the limes are made of fondant and the shells are made from white chocolate. The margarita glass is a plastic cup- I took yellow fondant and folded it over the edge of the cup and added yellow sanding sugar to give it a salted rim look- the margarita glass is filled with cake/frosting.

Pink & White Farm Theme
Yes! You are seeing double! These two farm cakes were made for "smash" cakes for a set of twin's 2nd birthday- matching farm animal cupcakes were created to go along with the smash cakes. The cupcake farm animal faces (except for the sheep) were made of fondant- all hand cut/designed- Theres cows, pigs, chicks & sheep :)

Facebook Birthday Cake
This is a sheetcake covered in fondant and adorned with an edible image, royal icing and fondant cut outs. I took the birthday girl's facebook page, copied it over to an excel sheet, removed all previous comments and added pictures of friends and family saying happy birthday-printed it out and took it to a local bakery to be printed out as an edible image. The cake is also decorated with "doodle" designs as the mother called it using purple royal frosting and various fondant cut outs.

Ice Cream Cake
This is a Peanut Butter & Oreo ice cream cake. I used a cheesecake pan, wrapped it in plastic wrap, put the cookie crust in, than added peanut butter ice cream- added another layer of plastic wrap and let it sit in the freezer for a couple of hours. Once good and solid- I removed the sides of the cheesecake pan, and using the plastic wrap as the handles I transferred it to a plate where I drizzled with chocolate sauce and sprinkled additional peanut butter candies on top with whipped cream!

Monster/dirt Truck Birthday Cake
The cake is vanilla and covered in chocolate frosting! The sides are covered in fondant racing type checkers. The hills are made from a mix of leftover cake from the leveling process, vanilla/chocolate cookies and some frosting- all molded together. The rocks are made of fondant, the grass is green buttercream- even the trees are edible- the only thing not edible are the toy cars used as keepsakes for aftewards.

Flower Birthday Cake
This was a first try to only decorate using buttercream/royal icing since all my special occasion cakes have been decorated with fondant up until this point. I learned to be very careful mixing purple and yellow- sometimes you get a grayish brownish color-lol. But all and all I was very happy with this being my first try.
