Crikee! The elusive leopard-print wedding cake. She's a beaut!

Leopard print wedding cake

This reception was held in a very exclusive banquet facility called the Capital City Club. I was super excited about this one. The wedding cake is a 12in, 10in, and 8in, buttercream fondant covered red velvet cake surrounded by 50 red velvet cupcakes and 50 sour cream pound cake cupcakes.

He's alive

Stand up fondant Spongebob

My latest fondant figure is a stand up fondant sponge bob. He has wire supports glued to the back and thus is able to stand upright.

Adam in Wonderland

The Mad Hatter's Hat and the Cheshire Cat

My lastest fondant shapes are the Mad Hatter's hat and the face of the Cheshire cat from the cartoon version of Disney's Alice in Wonderland.

Cletus Mouse

Fondant Mickey Mouse Head

This is my attempt at making a recreation of Mickey Mouse's head. It is made out of fondant and measures 3 in tall and 2 1/2 in wide. As an aside, I remarked to my wife that if Mickey had a cousin Cletus from the South, this would be a good representation of him!

Our Solar System

Solar system cake for Nephew

This was for my 7 year old nephew who like space things, meterology, etc.

The cake is WASC which is colored like a rainbow with 6 different colors. The icing is black airbrushed butter cream. The planets are handpainted fondant. This was a very cool cake and it turned out great.

Purple in bloom

My sister's birthday cake

This is my sisters birthday cake. The carnations, calla lilles, and roses are made of fondant.  The cake is white buttercream with green "vine" scrollwork along the sides.

Dead on Target

My brother's birthday cake

My brother is very hard to get any info from, so when I asked him what kind of birthday cake he wanted he said I don’t care- just a plain cake. So I said, "ok... plain cake with roses?" and he said that was fine. Anyway, the more I thought about it since he likes target shooting, why not do a target cake with a gun and bullets? It turned out well and the gun was awesome. It was one of my best.

Spring is in the air

Display cake for JoAnn's

The 2nd Saturday of every month JoAnn's has an open house and since I’m the WMI I have to be there. I always bring an iced plain cake decorate in the store. I never know exactly what I will be doing. This is what I came up with this past open house

My 1st class

I posted awhile back that I'm a Wilton Method Instructor (WMI) and I'm glad to say that my 1st class will meet tonight. I'm excited about getting started. Woohoo!

Egg in a Basket

Easter Egg in a Basket

This was made for my Grandmother's Easter get-together. I think it turned out rather well. Everything is white cake with buttercream and the small eggs are fondant covered in sprinkles. Happy Easter!

Coming up Daisies

Fondant Daisies and Vase

This was my second attempt at flowers. Since I try to do everything as detailed as possible, this was going to be no different. I was very pleased with this piece.

Smells sweet

Red Fondant Rose

I was going to make a dozen fondant roses for my wife on Valentine's Day but decided not to.  I still wanted to make one though, so this is how it turned out.

A lot to live up to

The cake

The logo

Blink 182 logo cake

My co-worker (the one I did the F-150 cake for) wanted me to do her son’s 17th birthday cake. She said since the 1st one (the f-150 cake) was outstanding I had a lot to live up to. She wanted a logo from the band Blink 182 on his cake, so, the best way I could think of to do it was airbrush it. Two problems with that though: 1) I haven’t used my airbrush in almost a year so I was out of practice, and 2) I had to cut out a logo with a razor knife which was tough to do. But after about 10 hours arguing with and cussing at this cake, it was complete and he loved it when he came with his mother to pick it up. She was happy and said his friends were jealous. My job here is done.

The New WMI

I filled out a prescreen form about 3 months ago for a WMI (Wilton Method Instructor) and have been sitting in on classes with the WMI that taught me to gain some insight on teaching cake decorating. I did an interview on Wedensday with the EC (education instructor) at the new Joann's and just got a call that my hard work paid off.

Use up icing

Cake for wife's office

I had some green icing left over from Drew's b'day cake so i made my wife a cake to take to work

Anniversary cake for My son's 2nd b'day

Drew's 2nd b'day cake

This was for Drew's 2nd b'day party which marks the 1st anniversary of me and my cake adventures. The reason I started doing cakes was becasue of Drew's 1st b'day cake so I wanted to make this one a special one.

A "wooden" cake with storage space

Boss's retirement cake

This was the perfect opportunity to do something special for my boss who is retiring soon. She has done so much for me and I wanted to do something personal and special for her. Since she buys and sells antique furniture I thought, "why not do a furniture cake?"

The real story behind Frosty the snowman

Cake for Grandmother's christmas party

My grandmother always has a Christmas party and she wanted me to make a special cake this year. So I wanted something that fit the season and was somewhat challenging and Frosty was born!

I'm a big Turkey

Turkey cake for office party

This is my 1st Thanksgiving cake, which I made for an office party. I think it turned out very well.

Waaarrr EEaaaggglleeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Flying Eagle Fondant Figure

Since I’m a big time Auburn fan I decided my next fondant piece should be the above. The A is orange fondant brushed with a mixture of red, yellow and bronze pearl dust. The U is blue fondant brushed with a mixture of blue and silver pearl dust. The wings and head are brown fondant brushed with bronze pearl dust and the beak is brushed with gold pearl dust. I was originally going to leave the head and wings brown, I’m glad I didn’t do that.

Pumpkin Patch Kids

Cake for my sister's baby shower

This is my latest creation...my sister's baby shower cake. Boy was I excited about this one and as always, with my head full of ideas, I went to it. This will be my little sister's 1st baby and since she is always so encouraging about my decorating I put everything I had into this one. It turned out great and my sister loved it.

Where I wish I was

Fondant Bass Boat figure

This sculpture was a challenge not because of the difficulty but like I said before I’m not satisfied with doing the norm. So as my mind started to work and more and more ideas popped up and a little turned into a lot. I was very proud of this one just because it all turned out just like my mind pictured.

Grandmama’s rose garden

Grandmother's 97th b'day cake

The next one was one was for my Grandmothers 97th b’day. I was very pleased by the outcome and the way the roses surrounded the cake.

Tinker-licious

Tinkerbell Cake

The mother of one of my wife’s co-workers asked if I would do a Tinkerbell cake for her daughter. As per usual, I made a small project bigger than it should have been. The cake has royal icing flowers around the outer edges of each tier, and a fondant bow. When I was done with this cake I was surprised (I shouldn’t have been since I normally over-do my cakes) at how big the cake turned out, but the lady loved it and so did the birthday girl.

Sweet pork

Fondant Roasted Pig

This was my next attempt at a sugar sculpture. I worked on this one for about 3 weeks. I wanted it to be just right so I redid the silver tray he sits on 4 times. All in all I was pleased with the way it turned out.
