Call of Duty


This cake is for a 10 year-old. Cherry chip cake, buttercream, covered in MMF. The helmet, grenade and dog tags are all edible (rice crispie covered in MMF) but you can't eat the small silver ring on the grenade.
This is for the same family that I made the Monster's Inc cake for last summer.

Coyote-very furry!


These mocassins are an original bead design. The foot is polished deer and the fur is coyote-which I have never worked with before. It is VERY FUZZY!!
These are slippers I made to exchange with a gentleman I got a bunch of hides and fur from. I paid some cash, with the promise of mocassins as barter for the rest of the cost. This particular pair are for his Aunt. Hope she likes them.

Bloodroot flower mocassins


A woman contacted me from an ad on Kijiji, I was testing the waters..... She came over and we discussed a pair of slippers. She decided to go with a bloodroot flower....which is tricky, as it is white and I usually do my beading on white stroud. So.....I surrounded the flower with the bloodroot leaf-which is kinda cool on it's own! The result...not bad! It took a looooong time though, with the size of the leaf, the upper is almost full bead!
I hope Dana likes them!

Montreal Canadiens....?!?

Got a request for a Montreal Canadiens hockey cake. Simple, easy, small....thank goodness! With Christmas right around the corner I have too many projects and too little time!
Marble cake, buttercream. The logo and stripes are fondant.

Playschool Slippers

Ezra's preschool is having a Silent Auction Fundraiser. Each 'family' is to donate two items that will fetch at least $25.
I made these! The bear is the logo for the Playschool. The fur is rabbit, the hide is deer-cute eh!?!

Peekaboo's birthday Part 2

This is Peekaboo's second birthday cake, for her party! The Barbie is Merliah, from Peekaboo's current favourite movie "Barbie A Mermaid Tale"-whatever?!?!
The cake is rainbow with buttercream, the rock is cake covered in MMF. It was yummy, and Peekaboo LOVED the fact that I got the actual doll (didn't make it out of gumpaste!) and pink dolphin.

Peekaboo's 6th Birthday Part 1



Peekaboo celebrated her birthday with family on Thanksgiving weekend. As we had apple pie, pumpkin pie, cherry cheesecake....I made a SMALL cake! Penguins was the theme. The cake is apple spice, with cream cheese icing. The igloo is cake as well, with MMF on it and I just used the dull side of a knife to make the 'blocks'. The penguins are MMF with a little gumpaste mixed in to get them to harden a bit. I put it in the fridge (a no no with fondant) so that the penguins would get some condensation on them, so they would look 'wet'!! It was a hit. Stay tuned for Part 2-the birthday party cake on Saturday!~
