Gears Of War 3 Cake
Well, I am not sure if this was a fail or a success for me. I wanted the guy holding his gun.. uh?? well that gun is at his feet. He looks more defeated than a warrior yet I was just proud I got a face carved out! He is made from all fondant. He has a wooden dowel running through him that went all the way to the bottom of the cake. flames where hand painted on.. and boy did this cake make me dream of owning a cake airbrush set.( this is getting to be an expensive hobby!! ) I did love my logo. I hand painted it on fondant then cut it out , then applied to cake. lettering I cute each letter out my self..

Big Al, Alabama Cake
Big Al was made from rice krispies covered in fondant.. everything else covered in fondant. strawberry cake with cream cheese icing! Still waiting to hear if he loved it.. SHe did! took me for ever to cut out each black image to get it to look like a houndstooth patern. I think I will be making me a stencil in my free time. Unless you know where I can find one.

Owl Smash Cake
this was the little smash cake I made to match up the owl cake. She had many owls so did not match this one to the topper, Just made it to go with it. I kept it all buttercream and just added the little fondant petals and deatials right on the buttercream. She plucked each feather off and ate till she just picked the owl up and took a bite. worked out pretty good!

Under The Sea
Everything was made from fondant, I either sculpted, shaped, painted each creature. I did use a shell candy mold to make the shells, I used a texture mat to make the flowing leafy looking coral with gumpaste and cut and shapped the best i could. I kept it preschool looking as much as I could because the little girl was only turning 4. I used the wiltons spray on color for the back ground of blue and green. ( I regret now that I did not add a little splash of pink here and there.) But I live and learning this as I go. For the stick coral I used the wiltons fondant mat that are coming out now. they where suppose to be tree limbs. Uh make them marbled red and yellow, some green and blue, a little shapping and ta da.. stick coral. Enjoyed making this one!
