Country Music Birthday Cake For Stephen
This was made for a gentleman celebrating his 60th birthday, This was a very special day because Stephen has Down's Syndrome and it's rare for the sufferer enjoy a 60th birthday. He loves country music, especially Vince Gill. The order was sort of last minute, so I was fortunate to already have Dolly and Willie, whom I refurbished and added to the cake. The bottom tier is chocolate, filled and frosted with vanilla buttercream, finished with bark made from modeling chocolate. The top tier is strawberry, filled and frosted with vanilla buttercream, finished with white chocolate ganache. The figures are made from modeling chocolate with fondant and gum paste clothes. The Black Eyed Susans were made from Sugarin Flower Paste by Arati Mirji.

Applejack, My Little Pony
Applejack is the 6th year birthday cake for a sweet Icing Smiles sibling. Because the family is traveling for the party, I chose a 2D carved cake which is much easier to transport. The cake is almond and strawberry swirl, filled and frosted with vanilla-almond buttercream, covered and decorated with LMF fondant. I made three My Little Pony models as a keepsake for the birthday girl.
