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. :)

Heeeeeeeeeeeeloooooo Kitty!

My first Hello Kitty cake! My friend Aimee hired me to make one for her friends bday, it was a challenge, but a cool one! im quite please with teh way it came out! I still have some smoothing issues with the buttercream undercoat, but hey im learning!

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

A cake for some friends at thier BBQ. :)

I made this cake for my friends Shane and Margaret Ann, they threw a BBQ sat and I didnt want to show up empty handed. :) Whoever made the rule that buttercream icing works best with Fondant.....i must say i do not agree. Chocolate icing worked better! and boy this cake was wonderful!

Plain yellow cake with chocolate frosting and white chocolate shavings

I made this yellow cake for my brothers b-day. He wanted just a plain cake with chocolate but i had to add some flair to it with the white chocolate shavings.

Back up cake-After my failed attempt at what i really wanted to do.

So I had made this big elaborate 2 tier cake.........then it started to fall apart. So two tiers turned into one tier...and instead of music notes..............i resorted to basic cookie cutter square cutouts. Im not as pro as i thought i was. lol needless to say I am not proud of this cake, I am just documenting.
