Relay for Life Bake Sale Cakes

This is a cake I made for a bake sale fundraiser at work to support our Relay for Life team. It's a two tier 8 inch chocolate cake with buttercream frosting. It is covered in fondant. The tree trunk is chocolate fondant and the remaining decorations are vanilla fondant.
This is another fundraiser cake I made for the bake sale. It's a two tier 8 inch white vanilla lemon sour cream cake with a lemon curd filling and buttercream frosting. It is covered in fondant. All decorations are vanilla fondant.
This is the final fundraiser cake I made for the bake sale. It's a two tier 8 inch red velvet cake with buttercream frosting. It is covered in light blue fondant with chocolate brown and white vanilla circle decorations.

Hokie Bird Graduate

A friend of mine's daughter is graduating from Virginia Tech this week.
So, of course being a Hokie myself, I had to make her a Hokie Bird Cake!
The cake is a double layer Lemon-Almond-Awesome Pound Cake covered in buttercream frosting.
I then covered the cake in fondant. The wording and "Hokie Feet" are royal icing.
The Congratulations banner and graduation hat are gumpaste.

Thomas the Train Cake

This is a cake I made for my son's friend's birthday.
It's a two tier yellow sponge cake covered in buttercream frosting. The decorations are all fondant (except for the train....that's not edible :-) ).
The clouds and name were made with royal icing.
