Duck Hunt cake

Duck Hunt cake - It was quite challenging for me to decide exactly what I wanted to do with this cake. A two tier would have been more cake, but you just don't get the real 'hunting boat camouflaged in the water' effect with that. So I went for a larger base. I was not going to put the dead duck on the boat because it made me sad. *grin* But my son insisted and I am glad that I did because it was the little boy's favorite part. Boys! LOL

Ibin Everywhere Gnome cake

Ibin Everywhere Gnome cake - This was just a quick cake for a friend. I only had a few hours so I spent most of the time making sure Ibin was perfect, but it was fun! Chocolate cake with chocolate filling.

Dirt bike cake

This was another quickie, but I had fun with it. She sent me an adorable picture of her son in camo on his dirt bike. I love when I get to make it authentic.

Buttercream Diego cake

Buttercream Diego cake - This is for the same customer as the Dinosaur cake. I learned from that one that heavy fondant figures on a buttercream cake is not a good idea. :) So I decided to make this one with Diego plaques instead of figures. I love doing my figures, but I still liked how this one turned out. I am including a close-up of the Bobos (I think that is how you spell it. *grin*) because I just love these guys.

Cinderella Cake

Cinderella cake - I saw this done somewhere with a Snow White dress and I just had to try it. I really love this one. Once again Kim let me just pick whatever I wanted to do with her theme and it was my favorite cake of the night.

Dinosaur Cake

Dinosaur Cake - Chocolate cake on bottom, rice cereal treats for the volcano.

Guitar Hero cake

Guitar Hero cake - This is a lemon cake and the fist is rice cereal treats. This was a last minute cake for a dear friend of mine. The fist of rock on top was by far the toughest thing I have created so far. Much to my surprise. So someone needs to give me a reason to make a second version of this one. :)

Twilight Cake

Twilight Cake - I have wanted to do one of these for a while, so I was so excited to have the opportunity! This was a last minute cake, so I didn't have a lot of planning time, but I like it anyway!

Ballerina Cake

Ballerina cake - This one was for a party at a beauty college. All the girls wore princess/fancy dresses and got all fixed up and then got their pictures taken. It was super cute. The cake was french vanilla with raspberry filling. The ballerina is a handmade fondant figure.

Cowboy cake

Cowboy cake - This one was especially fun for me since I know this man so well. It makes it all the more fun for me when I know and love the people I am decorating for. The hat is milk chocolate cake and the base is chocolate fudge.

Pony cake

Pony cake - This one was for one of my carpool kids. I didn't have much time (2 hours), but I adore this little girl and wanted to make her something fun. So this is actually rice cereal treats underneath instead of cake. She was totally excited, so it was worth every minute.

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?

Sponge Bob Square Pants cake

Pirate Ship cake

Pirate ship - This is all chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream. I am usually completely against using things that are not edible on my cakes, but I had a sad little girl with an ear infection this same night and I wasn't able to let the sails dry long enough. They were way too weak to attach, so I made do with paper sails. But all in all, this was a super fun cake!

Emily's "Create your own cake" party

Emily's "Create your own cake" party - This was a fun thing to do. Emily my good friend's daughter. I have made her birthday cakes for years now, she plans them months ahead as do all her siblings. This whole year she has been telling me that she wanted to help make her own cake the next time. So they decided to make a whole party of it. I brought stuff to help them make cupcakes and cookies and they had so much fun! I forgot to take pictures of the cake we made...duh! But here are some of their creations. They did their own thing on the cookies and then I showed them how to make roses the easy Duff Goldman way for their cupcakes. They frosted their own cupcakes with the icing bags as well. Way too fun! It was SO much work, but it was worth it for Em. Happy Birthday Em!

Blue's Clues cake & cookies

Blue's Clues cake & cookies - This was chocolate with strawberry filling on top and french vanilla with chocolate filling. I loved doing the matching cookies for this one. You can't see the detail so much on this one, but if you click on it you can see a larger view. So fun!
