Elvin Warrior Shield

For Marcus' b'day. Lessons learned from this one. Gumpaste needs a lot longer to dry for something this large. Since the shield had some drooping and cracking problems, we just consider it a "relic" shield - Ha! Also, we have a new favorite frosting thanks to Marcus. Chocolate cake (underneath shield) and cupcakes frosted with Mocha buttercream.

Shield is all gumpaste and "aged" with food coloring and gold pearl dust. Terri - cake and shield; Cameron - "aging effect". Thanks to Shannon for this incredible photo montage. (Also, if you're wondering, that writing is Marcus' name in the Elvish alphabet in mocha buttercream.)

Zane's B'day


I know you're not going to believe this, but I did this one entirely by myself!! Cameron got sick so I was on my own. Reminds me what a wonderful helper she is to me.
Totally copied this pirate from a pic off the web, but I thought it was so cute! Chocolate cake w/chocolate buttercream; pirate - crispy rice treats and fondant. No more crispy rice treats for faces - too bumpy!
