Anniversary Cake
I did this 55th Anniversary cake for my parents. Chocolate WASC with Raspberry buttercream icing and filling, chocolate fondant on top. The images were wedding picture, engagement pictures, as well as previous 'significant' anniversaries). The images were put on plaques and then placed all around the cake. They loved it!

Oil Derrick
I made this for my son's birthday. He is taking Petroleum Engineering at University, so this was his request. (Actually, he requested a little pump that would pump chocolate out of the top to represent the oil, but it seemed like that could end up being messy!) He was still happy with this. Stacked vanilla and marble cakes, then carved. Vanilla buttercream icing. The derrick is grey fondant brushed with silver lustre dust and the 'oil' is black fondant.
