My Dad and Uncle's Birthday Cake.  Peanutbutter cake with chocolate mousse and chocolate buttercream, very yummy flavor combo!  

A Pirate's Treasure

This is a birthday cake for our 4 year old nephew.  One layer of vanilla, one layer chocolate cake with chocolate mousse filling.   The last picture was my first attempt at the ship, obviously the cake was too soft so I ended up making and sculpting rice cereal treats, then covered in fondant and decorated.  The treasure chest is also sculpted from rice cereal treats.  The colored treasure is ring pops and the clear silver I made from isomault sugar...they were clear and diamond like when I made them but a few days later they turned cloudy.  The sail is gum paste and the pirate/flag is lego toys.  The pirate head is chocolate that I was experimenting with.

Anniversary Cake

40th Wedding Anniversary Cake.  This is an almond cake filled with 3 layers of raspberry filling and almond buttercream!  Yum, the raspberry cuts the sweetness of the buttercream.  The flowers are made from gumpaste (my first attempt at gum paste roses) and this is also my first attempt at piping a swag design.  This cake is traveling 6 hours in the car so I really hope the couple likes it!

I have decided that piped writing is now my biggest challenge....well, other then getting a smooth finish with buttercream.
