Graffiti Cake
Graffiti cake in buttercream without a spray gun. I used a few different colours and had some wilton red and black spray to achieve the coloured brickwork.. The lettering is fondant and to show a better contrast for my hand cut happy birthday sign, I made a wall from styrofoam covered in fondant.

Sewing Themed Buttercream Cake
A sewing themed chocolate buttercream cake for a friend. All decorations are handmade from fondant aside from the lace trim. I suppose that's my next challenge - to master edible lace. The patterns were hand drawn with edible markers and "wash painted" with a little water.

Peter Rabbit Cake
Buttercream cake with handmade fondant decorations. I tried to aim for the more traditional Beatrix Potter Illustrations for Peter.. The buttercream has a water colour effect of white and green to give a landscape effect, then I handprinted grass and used a veining tool to put grooves in the crusted buttercream. A little lost behind the picket fence, but still, happy with the finish and will use it again.

Ravenclaw Harry Potter Cake.
Ravenclaw Harry Potter cake. Buttercream with fondant decorations. Tried a few new things; the hat has marshmallows inside, no rice crispies, the ticket was hand drawn with edible markers on dried fondant and the glasses have Isomalt lenses. While my lenses aren't totally clear, I'm still happy that everything is edible. Cake board is textured fondant. Design is from Pinterest, but could not find original baker to credit. This design has been done quite a few times, so I hope I did it justice.

Sailboat Cake
This design is by Bana Bir Pasta Yap, though I did change the boat size as it's fondant filled with Cocopop/marshmallow mix. The rest is smooth buttercream. very happy I finally found a use for some bird cookie cutters that came in a big pack of random cake decorating stuff!. They are on wires. The bouys are from a wilton mold and the rope is from an extruder.
