Elmo Cake for Twins

Elmo's head had to be done twice. The first time I used rice tries stuck in the cake with a skewer, but the skewer totally split the head apart, so then I had to resort once again to a styrofoam ball.

Eyes are candy clay, nose is fondant, cake is fudge marble with vanilla buttercream. Hands were made out of candy clay also.

Happy Birthday, Bill!

This is one of those unique requests for a man's birthday who apparently goes all over the place running errands and helping people. He drives a 2002 Nissan Maxima which is what that is supposed to be.

The cake was lemon with cream cheese frosting. Car was made out of white candy clay.

3D Dinosaur Cake

Dino got back! Everything was pretty much fondant except the underpart of the tail was candy clay. Cake was marble fudge with chocolate buttercream.

His accompanying egg for the birthday boy.

Phew, this cake was super tough! The body seemed okay, the arms were a little small because I was running out of the fondant. Then I got to the head, and what a disaster! I had planned on using candy clay but it seemed way too heavy, so I ended up using a foam ball. I'm not super happy with the face. It's one of those faces that a kid will either love or have nightmares about later on.

Tractor Cake

This design was created from the invitation which had a red, yellow, and green tractor. I have them wrapping around the cake, although the red one is the only one that shows in the pics.

Cake was chocolate with vanilla buttercream, covered in Wilton fondant.

Purse Cake

My first purse cake, complete with chocolate candy clay pearls, fingernail polish, keychain, and lipgloss.

The cake was chocolate with chocolate swiss buttercream. I didn't make any plans or calculate dimensions before and I really should have. While delivering the cake, the handle completely melted and fell off and the fingernail polish fell down. Stressful delivery to say the least!!

40th Birthday Cake

Another Butterfly Flower Cake

Vanilla on vanilla, this was for a little girl's 1st birthday, I love doing these. I really hate my pics of this cake, that's okay, the bottom two tiers are covered in fondant, but the top is simply buttercream so the child can get messy! Flowers and butterflies are all fondant.
