Fairytale Wedding Cake
this dummy wedding cake was a result of a cake class with Swank Cakes in Cary NC that i took this weekend. I blinged up the cake when i got home. These beads are acrylic but they taught us how to make the sugar beads. If anyone has a chance to take a class with Wayne and Chuck - DO IT!

Tie Dye Candy Cake
we are traveling so my birthday girl needed a cake for her birthday tomorrow to blow out candles - 6" 3 layer cake covered with Airhead Extremes (her favorite candy!) and tie dye technique from Bird on a Cake blog. Didn't have any of my tools with me so this worked great, and the birthday girl said "it's the best cake EVER!!"

Signed Yearbook Graduation Cake
This was inspired by "Covered with Icing" post i found. The "yearbook" is cake covered in fondant that the partiers used edible markers to write in. The books were also covered in fondant with her picture in an icing image with her old high school , as well as the school colors of the college the graduate is off to. the graduation cap is rice krispie treat and fondant tassels.

Minnie Last Minute Baby Shower Cake
this cake was done in less than 24 hours and is not my best i will admit. The icing wouldn't crust at all so its not smooth, and had a blow out on the back but like i said, it was last minute to bring to an impromptu shower. It's buttercream, used a pancake mold for the mickey head and put sparkly sugar on it.

Crossing The Bridge To The Good Life!
this cake is for a friend who this week quit the working world and will do things for herself and her family that are more satisfying. Tried to capture the essence of her new life with the words and her party is on St Patrick's day so we worked in the rainbow and the gold... anyway, rainbow is gumpaste, words and chair are fondant. (awesome chair tutorial online!) wanted to do the words on my cricut but couldn't get it to work...gold are foil wrapped m&m's. all else stole from the kids polly pockets...:)

Manly Gift Box Birthday Cake
all i had to go on was that he, the guy wanted a chocolate cake so figured these were manly enough colors...anyway, it's all buttercream iced, fondant bow and ribbon strips and circles. It was a new icing and it looks like the blue bled a bit in the pictures but it doesn't look like that in real life...
