Private Eye Briefcase Cake

Kale's Birthday Cake - This cake was made up of four 10 inch square cakes, cut to make the shape of briefcase. It consisted of red velvet cake and butter cream filling due to Kale preferring not to go with the traditional cream cheese frosting. The cake is covered in fondant, and gumpaste makes up the decoration. The cake was airbrushed with edible silver coloring. As, a special surprise, his "real" birthday money was hidden inside the cake protected by a zip-lock bag.

Santa Claus Cake - Christmas

Bronwen Weber from Food Network hosted a class and this is my first stand up cake figure. He stood about 18 inches tall. He was made up of white cake with butter cream filling, and fondant and gumpaste. The entire cake is edible except for the structure, but really only his body has cake. The colors used here are red, leaf green, edible gold, baby blue, white and black.
