I'm Back!!!!

Well, the past two weeks have been pretty crazy! But I'll spare you.....

This weekend I'm uploading a cake from last weekend, as well as two projects from this weekend.

This Alice in Wonderland cake was actually for a Thanksgiving birthday party, and was picked up the day before. The figurines are mostly toys (except the caterpillar/mushroom, and card guys, which are gumpaste) but everything else is edible (except the wire in the tree):

I totally had "We're painting the roses red" stuck in my head for a whole day and a half with that cake!!!!

The next was a project that I ended up doing for a wedding planner I know....they were going to order an entire cake from me but due to some changes in plans, someone else had already ordered the cake...but they still wanted me to do the topper. They sent me a photo of a similar topper made from clothespins for a wedding...but they wanted it done in gumpaste, and for an "Up" themed baby shower. So this is what I came up with, for this little couple, a soon-to-come baby, and their little white dog:

Lastly....an "Atlantis" themed cake (not Disney, but just the mythological city itself). This theme was just infinite...I could have worked on this for a MONTH if I had the time. There were so many details that could have gone into this but staying with time and budget (and room on the board!), this is what I ended up with:

Due to space restraints (the actual cake only serves about 20-25) I was not able to make a large temple to the scale of the people....but I put a smaller one there to represent the temple and other hints of things that would have been in and around the city.

I hope you are all having a GREAT December so far!!!!
