Lavender Fields
Another mini cake made for fun/practice. I wanted to try painting with food colors and figured I'd start with something simple, like grass ;o). This is a two tier mini almond layer cake (3 inches diameter and 1.5 inches high) filled with strawberries and almond flavored swiss meringue buttercream and covered with fondant. Flowers and grass were painted with gel food colors.

Cookie Monster Cake
Made this mini cake for fun. It was inspired by a number of cakes and cupcakes I've seen on Cake Central. This is a two tier mini layer cake (3 inches diameter and 2.5 inches high) filled with strawberries and vanilla buttercream and covered with fondant. Fur is royal icing, cookies and eyes are fondant.

Miniature Majestic Peacock
This was inspired by a cake I saw on this site but now I can't find the original so I can't credit the cake artist. Thank you though!! The cake is actually a miniature layer cake - without the peacock, the cakes are only 3 inches high! The cake is chocolate buttermilk filled with vanilla SMBC. All decorations are fondant.

Beauty And The Beast Figures
I made a cake for a friend's daughter and the theme was Beauty and the Beast. These are figures I made for the cake. They are all made from Wilton fondant. The Belle figure isn't an exact (obviously ;o)) replica, because I'm not that good yet ;o) but it is meant to convey a likeness.

Chinese Take Out
I made this after having Chinese take our for dinner and being inspired...LOL. Cake underneath is chocolate with cream cheese frosting. I made a template for the box using an actual take out box and then carved cake into the basic shape. All fondant used is Wilton. The box is made of fondant with hand drawn decorations ('Thank You' and temple design on side) using a food safe marker. I made the 'food' using an extruder to make the noodles. The chopsticks are also made of fondant and then decorated with food safe markers. The bowl is a real bowl :o) I just made the cake for myself for practice.

Apple Bushel
Made this for a dinner party I went to. It's a spice cake with cream cheese frosting underneath. Apples are rice cereal treat covered with buttercream and then fondant (Wilton). All the other decorations ('wood' plants, leaves, acorn, etc) are also made from Wilton fondant. The hay/sawdust is shredded wheat cereal.
