I found the idea for these bra and panty cookies online and couldn't resist giving them a try. It was fun coming up with the ideas for all the matching sets.

Gold and Silver Birthday
I was asked to create a 30th birthday cake for a friend who has a birthday close to Christmas. She loves chocolate so I alternated layers of dark chocolate mud cake and white chocolate mud cake with chocolate ganache. The cake is frosted in Swiss Meringue Buttercream. I chose gold and silver because I wanted it to match the christmas decorations but didn't have the heart to make her 30th birthday cake red and green.
Gingerbread Man Cake
A few years ago I started a Gingerbread House Festival in my hometown, Chester. It's taken on a life of its own now. This year I was asked to create a gingerbread man themed cake for them to auction off as a fundraiser. Aren't you tempted to steal a candy or two?
Gingerbread House Presents
I made these sweet little gingerbread houses for my husband to give his work colleagues as Christmas presents this year. They were a huge hit at the office the day he took them in.
Melted Snowman Cookies
My brother-in-law wanted to make something memorable for his work Christmas Cookie Exchange and this is what we came up with - Melted Snowmen Cookies.

Burberry Dogs
A family friend asked me to create a cake for her daughter-in-law's birthday. She wanted the cake to have her daughter-in-law's two cairn terriers and she wanted one of the terrier's to be wearing a Burberry coat. She had a cute story about walking by a dog boutique and the female terrier kept pulling on the least to go in. When they went inside she remembers the Burberry coat they tried on the terrier.
The male terrier is being naughty pulling the ruffles off the cake.

Alligator
My Dad threw a swamp-themed pig roast this summer. He looked everywhere but couldn't find an alligator to use as part of his decorating. I decided to help him out with an edible one. He's made out of carved lemon ginger pound cake covered in fondant.
Playful Pink Flowers
I was testing a new technique for icing the cake with this one. I'm pleased with the way it turned out.

Grand Piano
My husband's birthday cake. The grand piano is hand modelled from sugar paste. The music around the bottom layer is the tune to 'Happy Birthday'.
Cheesecake
My sister asked for a cheesecake for her birthday. Maybe I took her a little too literally? This is a key lime cheesecake covered in fondant.

This was a dummy cake I made to try a few new techniques. I was very pleased with how it turned out.

This was for a birthday party with my girlfriends. It's a four-layer dark chocolate cake with cookies and cream filling. Yum, yum!
