Volcano Cake
Two 16 inch round layers create the base for the hand-scuplted cake volcano. The base is decorated with edible sand and buttercream "water". The volcano is made of red velvet cake covered in rolled fondant. The top of the volcano was hollowed out and a small wooden torch was inserted. Blowing out the burning volcano was much more interesting than using a traditional birthday candle.

Wiggles Music Cake
This 12 inch, 2-layer cake is based on The Wiggles party accessories. The music note is a separate 2 inch cake on top of the base cake. A second small cake was made just for the birthday girl, so she could blow out her candles.

Fisher Price Little People Cake
This is my daughter's birthday cake. She wanted a FP Little People party this year. The grass is made using tip 233. The house is a separate cake covered in buttercream with fondant siding and roofing that I made in advance. The tree, shrubs, door/windows, and butterfly pinata(just like at her party), and table are all cookies covered in glace' icing. The mini cake on the picnic table is a round of cake covered in fondant and real candle thins. The gifts are cookies covered in glace' icing. The Little People are obviouly not edible, and were "borrowed" from a few of her new playsets. The option of cookies or cake was a hit with both children and adults.

Baby Bottle
This cake was made with side-stacked 10 inch rounds, covered in rolled fondant. Each part of the bottle was a different cake flavor.

My daughter requested this cake for her birthday. At the time, there wasn't a sculpted Nemo pan available commercially, so I drew the design and transferred it to a rectagular cake, then piped the icing accordimg to my pattern.
