Blue and Gold Banquet

For our pack's Blue and Gold Banquet:




T-Rex

A friend asked if I could do a dinosaur cake for her son. I had a little bit of fondant left over from another cake, so I used it to shape the tail. I then covered it with frosting.








Cupcake Joint Party

I did a joint party for a friend. Her daughter was turning 10 and her husband was turning 40. The daughter had cupcakes:



And her husband had a cupcake cake. I didn't have the new big cupcake pan from Wilton, so my husband helped carve the cake for me.


The stars and numbers are fondant.

Witchingly Bootiful!

For a Halloween birthday. She was torn between getting the witch cake she wanted and having a beautiful (traditional) cake. I found this stained glass pattern and kept the colours traditional but made them softer. I carved this out of two sheet cakes: the top half is white cake, and the bottom half is chocolate.













Bakugan and Ben 10

We had a triple birthday for my nephew and sons this year:

A Bakugan ball:





Alien X from Ben 10:

This Little Piggy Turned 9

This cake was for a 9 year-old's birthday. He's covered in fondant with gum paste ears. The mud is buttercream frosting. A big thank you to my husband for the design idea and the carving.








Pickles and Ice Cream

This was for a baby shower. The cake is hand-painted fondant. The cherries are fondant with gum paste stems.



I had no idea on how to do the ice cream. I happened to Tivo a Food Network Challenge that featured food stylists and one of their challenges was to make a banana split. It turns out that fake ice cream is just a modified stiff frosting. I love how it turned out!
