Jungle Cake

I made this cake for my Fondant and Gum Paste class final cake. I loved making it. It was a ton of fun and, as always, learned a lot while doing it.
The tree trunks are Pretzel Rods and the "sand" they are in is brown sugar. I tried making the animal figures, but it was pretty tough, so I found these little figures at Party City for $0.25 each.

The bottom layer is Swiss Chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream icing. The top layer is strawberry cake with vanilla buttercream icing. The filling on both cakes is whipped cream with crushed oreos. I also made marshmallow fondant for the first time and used that on my cake. I am so excited to taste this. Yummy!

Valentines Cake

I made this cake for my husband for Valentines Day. I really liked how it turned out.

Fondant Sampler

This was my very first cake using fondant. Once I got past the frustration of rolling it out, I loved working with it. I worked my fondant too much that I layed over my cake, so it got a little dried out, but I know how to fix that next time.
I call it the sampler because we learned a bunch of different designs and put them all on one cake.

Temple Cake

This is a cake I decorated for my brother-in-law when he went through the temple for the first time.

Definitely looks like an amateur decorated this cake (which I am one), but it was a lot of fun and I now know how to make it look great if I ever do one of these again.
