Christening Present Cake for Joseph

Here's a Christening Cake for a friend. The bottom tier is a 10" square pound cake.
The gift box is made up of 2-8" square pound cakes stacked with raspberry filling between the layers. It is iced in buttercream with homemade marshmallow fondant. Everything is handmade. The box top is made of foam core and covered with fondant. Other than the top of the box, the entire cake is edible. The tissue paper is gum paste rolled VERY thin.

Precious little one...

Okay... this speaks for itself. I'm ready to do a baby shower cake. Just itching to do a baby shower cake. Is this not the most precious cake topper you ever saw???

This baby is all made of gum paste with a fondant blanket and gum paste bow. I have another little guy drying that I'll show you later. Can't wait to see how that one turns out. Maybe I'll make that one a girl... Stay tuned!

Pre-School Teacher Thank You

I made this cake for the kids end of year picnic at pre-school. It's a Thank You for the teachers. Garrick especially came out of his shell this year and has become a social butterfly. Pre-School was huge for him! I can't believe he will be in kindergarten in the fall. Anyway, this is my very first stacked cake and the first cake to see sculpted 3D figures.

This cake is dark chocolate fudge on the bottom with mint chocolate chip butter cream between the layers. The top cake is vanilla with chocolate between the layers. The cake is iced in butter cream and covered with home made fondant (which tastes better than the Wilton fondant I had been getting at the store). Everything you see is edible except the wires holding the stars in the top of the cake. The picture on the top of the cake is the schools logo.
