A wonderful beginning

This cake was made for my good friend Kamal and his wife Karuna who recently married in India and was served at a reception held in their honor.  I was able to try out several new decorating techniques including making gelatin butterflies.  I hope they liked it!!

Speaking of Monkeys

I made this cake for a friend at work who wanted something related to the Wizard of Oz...specifically the flying monkeys.  Her only other request was to have some legs coming out of the side of the cake just like the first witch in the movie.  I also tried using rice paper for the witch. It's a little hard to see, but the yellow around the side is the 'yellow brick road'.

Fancy

This was a wedding cake with ivory and black as the colors.  I was pretty happy with how the 'brooch' came out.
