Volcano

I made this cake for my oldest son's 6th birthday. There is a tube inside the volcano to hold the dry ice for the smoky effect, otherwise everything is edible. I used a wide variety of cookies, sprinkles, and dessert toppings to decorate the cake and board. The dinosaurs are made from fondant.

pirate birthday cupcakes

I made these cupcakes for my oldest son's 5th birthday. Part of them are chocolate and the others are vanilla. They are iced with a vanilla buttercream and topped with chocolates and a pirate flag.

Pirate Ship

I made this ship for my son's 3rd birthday. It's a homemade funfetti cake with vanilla buttercream icing covered in Satin Ice chocolate fondant. The decorations are fondant or royal icing. Everything is edible except for the wooden mast.

Hungry Monkey

I made this cake for my sister-in-law's baby shower. This was my first attempt at sculpting a large figure from fondant. Everything is edible except the base.

campfire

I made this cake for my husband and son when I thought they were missing their father-son camp-out. I thought I'd give them the next best thing to a real camp fire- a cake that looks like one.

 

The cake is a chocolate roll with whipped cream filling covered in ganache. The flames are hard candy.
