Cape Cod Wedding
The happy couple eloped on Cape Cod and wanted their cake to reflect the destination for their reception (which was held once they returned home. For the Adirondack chairs, I downloaded a pattern for real full-size wooden chairs..shrunk them...and made a model out of cardboard to make sure it would work before making the final pair out of gumpaste. I was (and still am!) really proud of them.

Sweet Sweet 16
This is a sweet 16 cake I made this summer. The striped layer was made by adding the black fondant stripes first, then airbrushing the lime and turquoise individually. I chose to do it this way because the birthday girl wanted the top ribbon to be black. The raised black stripes evened out the visual "weight" of the black top ribbon and helped the monogram on the middle and the stars on the bottom layer pop, so to speak!
