More cakes at random

My friend Nicole and I made this together for her annual pumpkin carving party in 2007. The bottom tier was chocolate cake with Peanut Butter Cheesecake Mousse and the top tier was white cake with Pumpkin Spice mousse. The cake was iced in whipped cream with fondant details (pumpkins, bones, bats, cat, hat, RIP, ghost, tree, bird). The border is whipped cream with our favorite tip, the grass tip. The spider and web are black buttercream.

Yet another german chocolate cake for my father in law. This was for fathers day 2008, the cake was iced in whipped cream and topped with blue piping gel for water. The fish was 1lb of chocolate with chocolate rocks for detail. He enjoyed the cake and my SIL Shana enjoyed the fish.

I was contacted by a local organization that helps with relief for families who have lost someone in the war. They were holding a fundraiser and needed a few cakes. The cake with the eagle is an edible image of a painting the gentleman who contacted me had made. The cake was a carrot cake iced in buttercream with a buttercream border. The second cake was donated, chocolate cake w/ raspberry mousse filling, iced in buttercream with fondant details.

This was made for a girls night gathering at a friends house in the fall of 2007. It was a chocolate cake with caramel filling and iced in chocolate whipped cream frosting. The leaves, pumpkins acorns, etc are made from chocolate clay (think of a tootsie roll but yummier!)

These were made in a class designed especially for cupcakes. My favorite is the "Latte" in the mini Starbucks cup, it has a mini chocolate cupcake in the bottom of the cup, topped with espresso ganache, whipped cream frosting and a chocolate drizzle. These were given to my nephew Austin to share with his basketball team after their game.

A last minute cake for a friends birthday. A couple of her favorite colors are red and black, so the combination seemed perfect for a classic birthday cake. This was my first attempt at a fondant bow. I was very pleased with the way it turned out. Unfortunately, I wasnt thinking about the rain and it made some spots on the fondant but I dont think anyone by myself noticed :-)

This was a ordered from a friend of mine who was giving it to the mom to be as her gift. It was my first baby shower cake (and maybe my only now that I think of it). It was also a first with chocolate blocks and modeling things from fondant. The cake is iced in buttercream with fondant details (bears, stars, sports balls).
