Cherry checkered cake



















This is a special request from my co worker Neil. He wanted a cake that had something to do with cherries, (his girlfriend loves them) so this is what i came up with, i feel my design is very origional and i am quite happy with it. :) now the red hands......well i forgot to buy red fondant so i had to make the gumpaste for the cherries red...yep, my hands are still kinda red (2 days later) lol
This cake is a double layer choclate fudge with buttercream icing. I used a 3 inch deep 8 inch round pan.







Autobot cake







Autobot success!!! My friend Vy asked me to make one for her boyfriend for his bday. i think i did pretty well! :) I baked a one layer choclate cake and froze it, cut the face shape out with a Cutco butcher knife and coincidentally, i found a transformers icing color kit while i was buying cake boards. sweet.

Steak anyone?

















I free-handed this steak cutout. Its a double layer red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting. I sketched a steak on top of teh cake with a toothpick and stood over the cake with a butcher knife facing straight down so i could cut around my sketch evenly. then using the cake board that i traced the cake with i was able to make up teh center inlay of the steak.
I bought him a new cutting board (because he hates mine) and got him a never before used vintage cutco butcher knive. I think it made for an awesome presentation!
I included a pic next to Shans cake, seeing as I made them both at once. We had a bbq for the both of them, since their bdays are on teh same day. and man o man, two cakes at once is crazy! o_O



Shan's bday cake :)






A cake I made for Shan. I made her the heart on the last page of posts back in 2007, I'd say I have def made a major improvment! I should have cut the cake board to hide the chocolate mess..oopsie. So can we tell Im a tad bit obsessed with zebra stripes? lol This was also my first attempt at Fondant Roses. :)

Klassic's Chocolate Death










This is my very own version of death by chocolate. Two layer dark chocolate cake, with chocolate icing, chocolate walls and homemade chocoolate truffles! The walls were a happy accident, i completely changed my design based on broken chocolate. mmmmmmmmmmmmm
