Go Team To!
This cake is for a hockey team on which my 8-yr-old Grandson plays. They are at a tournament this weekend and are having a Friday night team & family party. The main body of the jersey is 12x18" vanilla cake and the sleeves are cut from a 9x13" chocolate fudge cake. The whole thing is frosted in buttercream, with the black and gold accents being fondant. I had someone print the edible image of the team logo.

Summer Pansies
This is a carrot and pineapple cake with cream cheese frosting. The pansies were to match the ones grown by the birthday couple. I hadn't done pansies before and didn't have the proper cutters, so just googled and found a tutorial. The "banner" is fondant, and the pansies were made from fondant with a little gum tragacanth added. This was a fun project to do!

Movember is coming, and I wanted to try out this set of cutters by Fred. It's a combination stamper & cutter and names the 5 different styles. These are a chocolate sugar cookie and I tinted various shades of fondant and applied to the back of the stamped baked cookies (making them reversible).

This Couple Wanted A Winter Wedding And Chose Penguins As The Cake Topper Because They Said Penguins Mate For Life Bride And Groom Penguin
This couple wanted a winter wedding and chose penguins as the cake topper because they said penguins mate for life. Bride and Groom penguins were molded from gumpaste and fondant. The groom designed and sketched the cake for me. 6" white, 10" marble, & 14" chocolate fudge, all iced in buttercream. Fondant blue ribbon, and various shades of snowflakes. After travelling several hundred miles, I had some trouble with assembly, so added the sprinkling of coarse sugar to cover and flaws.

Retirement Wine
Retirement party for a high school principal who collects wine. The label on the bottle was designed using the school mascot. First time trying to make a wine bottle, following an on-line tutorial, They needed a large cake, so it was a 12x18" cut lengthwise and stacked. It was probably too large for the size of the bottle. Covered in buttercream, then fondant for the crate, gumpaste leaves, and chocolate shavings. Fun to try, and would like to try again sometime.

Beach Holiday
Chocolate fudge cake for a woman who loves to stay at fancy resorts, but whose children love the beach. The chair is made of gumpaste, as are the palm branches. The branches have a wire in them, the tree trunks have a hollow pastic tube down the center, and the little drink on the chair has a piece of toothpick in the stem. Otherwise everything is edible made from fondant. The blue water area is buttercream. The "sand" is graham crackers mixed with butter and sugar, spread over buttercream icing, and sprinkled with cinnamon. The rock wall in the resort area are candy coated chocolate (purchased). The "dirt" is oreo cookie crumbs. Rolled up towels and an iphone in the beach bag. The recipient was thrilled with it! I didn't realize that she has a pink iphone.
