3D Monkey Cake
This was a monkey cake I made for my daughters 1st birthday party. It was made to look like her monkey that she carries around with her everywhere. It is made from WASC cake and frosted first with buttercream dream. Then, I covered it in a chocolate fondant recipe which I found on here. It tasted like a tootsie roll but was hard to get not to tear. I had to sort of piece it together and smooth it out. The head and legs are rice krispie treat and the body is a 5 round 8 inch cakes carved to a body.

Elmo Ice Cream Birthday Cake
This is the first time I have ever made an ice cream cake. It was a brownie layer, french vanilla ice cream in the center and then brownie on top. Almost like a brownie ice cream sandwich... yum! It was good, a little hard to cut but good. I frosted it in buttercream dream and the cake decorations are made from chocolate.

40Th Anniversary Cake- Practice
This is a practice cake I made for a larger cake I need to make at the end of June. I never worked with ganache before and wanted to try it before the actual party. The cake is being made for my fiances parents surprise 40th anniversary party. Its chocolate buttercream-I used the buttercream dream recipe and added 3/4 c of cocoa (everyone keeps commenting the icing taste like mousse) and the WASC cake. covered in ganache with chocolate covered strawberries.
