Cow Cake Up For Bids
First, Thank you Lambshack for the inspiration for this cake. Mine is much smaller but I think your wow-factor is still there. My neice is a senior and a member of her high school FFA (Future Farmers of America). They are holding a cake & pie auction and she asked me to make a cake for it. Cow was made from Rice Krispie treat mix covered in fondant - reverse marble cake with buttercream icing. Fondant blue accent and gumpaste flowers.

Retirement Cake
Cake I made for my BIL. BC icing on vanilla cake. Living room scene and clock numbers all done with gumpaste. His nickname is "Recliner Man" so - he REALLY enjoyed the cake along with his favorite pet "Shamrock" by his side. Thanks to Aine2 for her tutorials on the tea and toast and dog. I really love gumpaste now

Here's a cake I made for the town fire chief who was retiring. Many thanks to TheCakeWizard for helping me and for inspiring me. Cake was vanilla with BC icing. All details on truck including the ladder were royal icing. Tires were gumpaste. Cake in background was covered with fondant flames and had a molded firecheif sitting on top with a hose leading to the truck.

Another Dog Lovers Cake
Here's a cake I made for a friend who just LOVES her dog. Thank you to Aine2 for her help with the dogs. I'd never done any form of modeling but she made it possible and the recipient thought they were just the cutest. Cake was vanilla with BC icing. Dogs, present, and bones were gumpaste. Flowers and paw prints were fondant.

Airforce Farewell
Here's a cake I did for my nephew who's going into the air force. I can't find the original cake that I copied here on CC (if anyone knows who did the original one with an eagle in the front - please let me know so I can give proper credit). Flag, rope border, cake plate, and ball are fondant. Cake was chocolate (requested) iced in BC.

Child's Tiara Cake
This cake was for a friends daughter turning 8. She wanted a princess cake and with many thanks to Karateka for her help with the tiara - she was the happiest little girl in the world. I wasn't pleased with the look after I put the pearls on the cake - I pressed them too hard. I put heart shaped cut outs around the base of the cake too. The cake is vanilla with rainbow sprinkles mixed into the batter for a colorful surprise inside. Icing is BC with a gumpaste tiara and bow - ribbon & pearls are fondant

Gold pieces on crown are gumpaste painted with gold luster dust. Bottom cake is reverse marble covered in BC. Coin pouch is fondant. Coins are chocolate candies.

Christmas Party Cake
This was a cake I did for hubbies Holiday party. BC icing on yellow cake. Squares are filled with colored coconut and foil wrapped chocolate kisses. I did a rendition of this for easter (thanks again Ladycake) and thought I could encorporate a christmas theme. Very versatile design.

Bridal Gown - Another View
Here is a cake I did for my SIL. She's a pastry chef in NYC so I was under a little pressure on this one. I'm very happy with how it came out and everyone loved it - they had never seen one like this before. I must thank Cakeconfections and Tripletmom for their help and inspiration for this cake. You guys are the best!
