This cake was SO fun! I think mostly because of the story that goes with it. This lady emailed me saying she needed a cake for her 3rd anniversary. It turns out that they got married on Halloween, in Vegas, with a Phantom of the Opera Masquerade theme. So many ways to go with that!! She decided on a zombie themed wedding style cake.
The zombie couple are made out of modeling chocolate and fondant. and the cats and pumpkins are made from fondant.
They also have 3 cats (the first of which they got on their first anniversary). So we put the 3 cats at the bottom of the cake to signify the 3 years they've been married (and they are in Halloween costumes, of coarse Ü)

Linux Birthday Cake
This is a humorous computer themed cake. It is a birthday cake for a computer guy. He loves Linux and doesn't care for Windows. For those of you not familiar with Linux, Tux is the Linux penguin and their logo.
Tux was made with modeling chocolate and the toilet paper roll and stand are gumpaste. The rest is decorated with fondant. The cake is white and chocolate (so when you slice it you get both in each slice). The frosting is a toffee buttercream.

Happy Halloween!
This spooky cake serves 24 party sized pieces. It is a chocolate cake with a chocolate Swiss meringue buttercream icing. The grass is piped on with a vanilla buttercream. The hand is modeling chocolate that is mummified with gum paste. The tombstone is rice-crispy treat covered in fondant.
I thought it turned out spooky, but not too over-the-edge. With Halloween cakes, you have to find a balance. It can't be TOO gross, because you want someone to eat it! Ü
