I made this cake for a young lady turning 6. She is very girly and loves Hello Kitty and pink. This was my first time doing a Buttercream cake without covering it in fondant. It was more time consuming but well worth it! The cake is half chocolate half vanilla. Just baked 2 13x9's and cut them in half and stacked on each other.

In preperation for the PS3 cake I knew was coming I wanted to carve a cake. My mom and my aunt's birthdays are on the same day and we were having a little get together. I decided I would make them a purse cake since both of them love purses and shopping. The zebra stripes on the purse are painted on and the ones on the board are fondant. I think I am digging the painted stripes a lot more! 
I had been wanting to make a "Wedding" cake for a long time. I had an idea in my head for a 3 tier cake with a middle tier that was red and sparkley with some kind of red flowers on top. This is what I ended up with. The skirted effect was not in my original design idea but when the fondant wouldnt flatten on the bottom of the cake I improvised and made the while thing skirted. If I did it again I would make the size differences in the tiers larger. Overall I am very pleased, especially since it was my first time making real looking roses!
