Carrot Cake

Cream cheese icing with buttercream decorations using Wilton gel colors willow green and copper with a little yellow and red added. I used a Wilton tip #12 to make the carrots, #5 for the writing and stems, and #352 leaf tip for the leaves.

Knitting Baby Shower Cake

Baby shower cake for a friend who knits. Devil's food cake with vanilla buttercream in white and Wilton cornflower blue. To make the yarn ball, I crumbled four cupcakes in the food processor and mixed with a little buttercream, then rolled them into a ball and piped on layers of buttercream "yarn." The booties are cupcakes cut in half, with buttercream applied with a star tip.

The Pumpkin Patch Cupcakes Were Inspired By The Baker Featured On The Cakecentral E Mail I Got So Cant Take Credit For That The Spider Cu

The pumpkin patch cupcakes were inspired by the baker featured on the CakeCentral e-mail I got, so can't take credit for that. The spider cupcakes are devil's food with dark chocolate buttercream, Whopper body with piped-on face and legs and sprinkles for eyes.

Easy Lego Cake

There are endless possibilities Lego-themed cake, especially if you're doing all fondant. However, we like buttercream, and at the end of the day, I figured a wild pack of 8-year-old boys wouldn't care whether or not there was a ball border or my other idea, Lego brick cutouts, so I did a plain buttercream cake, then made Legos using chewy granola bars cut in half and covered with fondant. I cut out the circles for the bricks with the small end of a Wilton No. 12 tip. I finished with a candle and my son's choice of Lego guys.

Butterfly Cupcakes

Not my greatest floral effort; it was too hot and humid when I made these and I was struggling with the icing texture. But anyway, buttercream with fondant/gum paste butterflies. To make the butterflies, I cut out corners of a cardboard box and laid them in a flower-drying rack. I cut the butterfly shapes with a fondant cutout, folded them slightly, and let them dry in the rack. Then I brushed pearl powder on them and piped on chocolate buttercream bodies.

Mickey And Minnie Cake

I copied Mickey and Minnie Mouse from a coloring book and used piping gel to transfer the image onto the cake, then piped in the coloring. I like the challenge of not using fondant, but any future Mickey and Minnie cakes will be fondant cutouts!

Pointsettia Mini Cupcakes

I used a large leaf tip to pipe red and white poinsettia leaves onto these mini cupcakes, then used yellow and green sugar for the centers.

Kindergarten Graduation Cake

Chocolate sheet cake with vanilla buttercream icing, decorated with a combination of piped icing, sprinkles and fondant cutouts. I thought "Congratulations" was a little much for kindergarten (and took up too much space) so I went with "Yay!"

Santa And Snowman Cupcakes

Yellow cupcakes with vanilla buttercream Santas and Snowmen. Santa's eyes and Snowman's eyes and mouth are chocolate chips. You can't tell from this angle, but I pulled out on the snowman's nose so it looks like a carrot.
