Just playing around with textures last night.

For a fundraiser for our local art center tonight! Rice paper, gold gilding, sea shells, sanding sugar, etc.

One cake, two looks! A mix of fresh and gumpaste flowers.

Lots of gold detailing! I designed this a couple years ago for a bridal show, and got to make it for a bride this weekend.

Made for my son, this is RKT, fondant and gum paste, and the hill is cake.

Hand painted flowers, antiqued gold, green and yellow monogram.

Hay is small extruded ropes, and everything is hand cut and modeled.

For a first birthday.

Hand cut plaque, extruded lettering, gold gilding. Pinks, blues, greens, and purples. Lovely!

For a Velentine’s Day wedding.

Jolly Roger with a pacifier, tediously crafted gumpaste pirate ship, graham cracker covered top tier, and fondant waves.

Double barrel tier, half tall tier, gold accents, peanuts holding drapery. Fun!

For a get together with some cake friends. Giant gumpaste rose, highlighted with a bit of green in areas, gold splatter, and fondant bands.

Double barrel, half tall tiers, and a regular tier.

Banana cake bread and fondant detailing.

Some of the Christmas cakes before pickup by their owners today.

For a 12-12-12 wedding.

All handmade details. See the wise man carrying balloons?

GP tiara encrusted with isomalt jewels and beads and sugar pearls. Red fondant sash, gold braided shoulder rope, and large isomalt sapphire choker around tier.

Handpainting to match the couples invitations.
