Hobby Gone Wild

I've just been baking cakes...  Here's some pictures to bring you up to speed

                                                                Icy has his hat on! 
                                White cake with butter cream icing & marshmallow fondant "coal"

My Mom said "don't make petit fours they are a ROYAL PAIN"  As usual I have to do everything my Mom tells me not to do and learn the hard way...

                          golden vanilla cake with raspberry jam filling, raspberry flavored poured 
                                               fondant & royal icing holly & berries

They came out beautiful but... as usual, Mom was right.

My dearest friend & her husband are celebrating their 28th Anniversary so hubby and I surprised them with the Fred Flintstone "Happy Anniversary" song and an anniversary cake... I must say I think we took them by total surprise.

             Dark chocolate fudge cake with chocolate fudge filling covered in white butter cream icing.

My son TJ needed a desert to bring to a dinner at work so he suckered his Momma into making a cake for him...

Golden vanilla almond cake with butter cream icing, berries & snow.  The cardinal and lettering is marshmallow fondant.  The snowflakes are raspberry flavored royal icing and dusted with pearl dust.  The branches are hand painted with food color & vanilla.

Needless to say I think it looks pretty good despite a few minor bumps in the road.  I hope it "passes' inspection and hopefully someone will take my number from TJ and order a cake sometime.  I seriously need to start supporting this hobby!
