This high school graduation cake was also a going away cake for the graduate. In a few short weeks, the graduate will be heading to Marine Boot Camp. The cake is a 10-, 8-, and 6-inch round fondant colored in the high school colors. Band was a big part of this guy’s high school. I copied his letter from his jacket and put musical notes on it to depict that. The Bulldog is cereal treat covered in fondant. The ammo is fondant made from a mold that I made for these.

I always love learning something new. This was my first attempt at a gumpaste Peony. This was also my first attempt at the Chevron pattern that is so popular right now. I was amazed at how simple the Chevron was. I had been looking forward to and dreading it. It definitely will not be the last time I try it.

I made this cake for my mother-in-law for Mother’s Day. I had to practically make her cut it. Green is her favorite color, then any shade of pink would be next. She did not want to “mess up” the cake. I told her if she wanted one to just look at I would make her one on styrofoam and she would be able to just look at it and not cut.

This is a cake I made for my youngest son’s birthday. His father and I nicknamed him “Boo” when he was very young because he kept getting boo boos. Ironically, today he is a Paramedic. I guess all those trips to ER and doctors’ offices he got an early start.

12-,10-,6-inch cake made of the send-off dinner the night before the bikers leave to ride over 210 miles. They are riding in memorium to all the EMS workers who passed away last year. This year’s theme is “Always In Our Hearts.” That is one reason I chose to do the modified EKG on the bottom tier. They start their ride in the central part of South Carolina and finish their ride at the beach. That is the reason behind the beach painting and seashells. Their emblem is represented on the top tier. Of course, no bike ride would be complete without a few bicyclists.

This cake was done specifically by detail from the birthday girl. She knew exactly what she wanted. She first said she wanted black cake with the pink stripes and I put the monogram on top. I drew that out for her. After she saw the sketch, she decided she wanted monogram on the side and white cake instead of black. You have got to love it when someone at this age is so specific in what she wants.

I made this cake for a sixth grade Sunday school celebration. I made a stencil from a nativity scene silhouette. The baby Jesus, the name and star are made from fondant. The rest is Buttercream and “old school” shells.
