Hartselle High football cake

I made this cake kind of as an afterthought. I had some leftover cake from the helmet, and I was afraid that cake wouldn't be enough to feed everyone. So I carved a simple football & embellished a little. I thought it turned out pretty good, for an afterthought. ;0)

Hartselle High helmet cake

I made this cake for a tailgating party for Hartselle's first game. It had to feed 50-60 people, so it had to be BIG! Do you know how hard it is to color frosting crimson?! Its almost as bad as navy blue! Anyway, I did enjoy the challenge, and I hope they enjoy the cake.

The Pickle Cake

This is a cake I did for a friend. She wanted it for her best friend's birthday. The concept was an inside joke between the two of them. I didn't really understand it, but I had fun making the cake anyway! ;0)

Perry the Platypus

This cake was done for a baby shower (yes - a baby shower). My cousin allowed her daughter to pick the cake - and this is what she chose. For those of you who don't watch cartoons - this is a character from "Phineas and Ferb". He's their pet platypus who leads a double life as a secret agent. Anyway, it was a lot of fun to do.

Little League Cake

I made this cake (or cakes, really) for a friend's son's little league team party. They liked the Braves cake I had done, so I started with that. I made the field & the hat just as I had done before, but this time I knew it needed more. So I made the bat out of cake, and the sign on the bottom out of the cake I had trimmed from the field. The field & bat are piped with regular icing, the hat & sign are covered with fondant. I used a red icing marker for the outline of the team logo, then filled in with black icing.

Barbie princess cake

The inspiration for this cake came from the invitation - the dress, actually. I made a 2-layer 12 inch round in light pink. Then I added the flowers (made several days ahead), whose colors came from the dress. I had originally planned to put a 6 on top- like I did with Olivia's cake - but then decided to use the image from the invitation. So I just glued her to the 6 I had already made - and it fit perfectly! The final touch was the piping on top, inspired by the jewels on her dress. I made the "jewels" out of fondant, then piped the embellishment with "gold" icing. Its a very girly cake. ;0)

The Transformers Cake

For this cake, I made an 11x15 sheet cake for the base, then made a 9 inch square for the symbol. I printed out an image of the autobot symbol & used it as a template for cutting the shape. After the icing on the base had set up, I placed the symbol in the center & got to piping. Don't ask me what the corners are - I don't know. I just thought it needed something. ;0)
