Noah's Ark

This is probably one of the most fun cakes I've made yet.  This was for a friend's baby shower - pre-baby.  (The couple now have a cute baby boy!)  My mom actually helped me a TON with making the boards for all over the cake.  Each board was actually made individually.  Although this cake looks great, there are a few things I will do differently to make it better next time.  All of the animals were fun to make, and yes, I know the turtles are missing eyes.  I didn't forget; time was tight since I made this cake in the Hat and had to drive the cake 4 hours to the shower!  When I got to the shower, the hostess had decorated in a Noah's Ark theme!  Funny, because we had never discussed a theme for the party.  My cake matched the decorations perfectly! :)

This was layered white and red velvet cake with buttercream icing everywhere else.  Of course it was topped off with fondant! 

All done!

Giraffes

Lions, Monkeys, and Pandas

Elephants and blind Turtles

Surprise Carrot Cake

This is a cake that I made for the people who I did my first wedding cake for.  For the wedding cake, the groom's only request was that there was a layer of carrot cake...which he never ended up getting a piece of.  The bride (though they have been married over a year now) asked for this cake for a surprise for her husband.  I thought it was a great idea!  This was the same carrot cake, with the same icing, and the same ribbon from their wedding.  I just added some of the mini fondant roses to it.  I heard it was quite yummy!

For you Trekkies...

I got this cake order for the beginning of January.  I'm not a Star Trek person, but was still looking forward to doing this cake.  (mostly because it was an easier design!! ha!)  It was for a 30th birthday, and was all an all white cake, with yummy buttercream.  You can't tell in the picture, but there is a shine to the cake from the edible silver lustre dust I used all over it.
