Space
This one was so neat in person. The space ship is an oval shaped cake that I put onto a square cake. The whole thing is covered with mmf and then airbrushed with the lustre powder to make it look sparly like space. The planets are actually styrophome balls covered with the fondant and then painted. The smoke and fire are buttercream.
Car crash
I had a lady call and tell me that they were having a party because they totaled their car. Kind of strange I know, but it was an older car and they were happy to be rid of it and get a new one. So for their party I made them this one. The car itself is cake that I cut and shaped into a car and then covered it with mmf and crushed in the side of it and colored it all with buttercream, then I put the car on a regular 9x13 cake and made it look kind of like an icy road.
Girl Scouts
One of my neighbors was a troop leader and asked me to do a cake for a ceremony they were having. This one I had a hard time covering the whole thing with the fondant, so I had to improvise. The top is chocolate mmf with buttercream for the picture, the sides are buttercream and then I pressed into it chopped up chocolate chips. I think it looks like a big ice cream sandwich!
Butterfly
I used a half sheet cake and then cut it in the shape of the butterfly then covered it with mmf. Then I airbrushed the whole thing with the lustre powder to make it look sparkly . All little girls like sparkle!
BumbleBee
Okay I know youre thinking "yeah right that thing is not a cake!" Well it is not ALL cake but it is all edible. It was actually a lot easier than you might think, my genious of a husband came up with the great idea to use the bumblebee mask that you can buy at the store. So I covered the mask with gumpaste and let it harden, then I took it off of the mask and placed it over the cake and added all the detail out of mmf. This one truly received the jaw dropping response I hoped for!
Pirate
I think this one was super cute! It was a marble cake covered in chocolate buttercream, which is sooooo good by the way! The sand is crushed up chocolate chip cookies, the coins are mmf that I cut with round cutters and then indented the letters to make their names. The words, chest, boy and trees are all color flow that I made a pattern from and just filled in with the icing. It looked so awesome!

Slumber party
This is one of my favorites! It was a last minute order for a slumber party.
For the little girl I used mmf and shaped it into her body and then covered with mmf that I colored and cut it into squares to make the quilt. The hair is also mmf that I cut into small strips and braided together. The flowers were done using a flower cutter.
Las Vegas
This was my first really big order and was so fun to make. My sister was in town so I had her helping me and she was very stressed out and nervous, but she was a great helper!
All three tiers are covered in mmf, the dice were cut with small cookie cutters and painted with food coloring, all other shapes were cut using a pattern that I made and then painted, the dice were just hand shaped into squares, and the cards were made from colorflow icing.
