 This cake was for a young man who was graduating from high school. It is made after his awesome 1971 Ford Mustang...he also took flying lessons, so that is represented by a chocolate airplane "flying" above the car. It is a marbled cake with raspberry filling, and is decorated in fondant and modeling chocolate.

This was a challenge for me.  This car was the Biggest car I've ever done (more than double my usual car), making it more difficult to carve proportionately, and to decorate...I was happy with the end result, but was working on it right up to the deadline...Also because of it's size I wasn't able to get a good picture (I have a small workspace), so I wanted to thank Denise for sending me some pictures!!

Plane fun!

I think airplanes have been the most challenging carved cakes to make for me so far. They are really odd shaped (not as much room for cake, because the body is long and narrow), and the structure is more complicated. This is the second plane I've ever done, and I was really happy with how it turned out. It is a chocolate cake with German chocolate filling. I hope it was a great birthday and I hope he was surprised! :)
