Boy. Do I do "custom" cakes, or what? Even made up a new recipe to incorporate Hennessey cognac into a German Chocolate cake this time -- at the request of the birthday girl's friend. The traditional coconut pecan icing is pretty much impossible to decorate on top of, so this is what I came up with.
The foot cookie atop is some kind of an "inside joke," and all the sweets represent what is evidently a rather rampant sweet tooth on the part of the honoree.
While that lumpy drippy icing replete with coconut and toasted pecans is hardly the smooth finish of one of my fondant covered cakes, it surely is DELICIOUS. (Yes, I taste-tested it to make sure.)
We've got cake, cookie, frosting and candies all in one cake ... that combo surely should sufficiently feed even the world's biggest sweet tooth.

The bride and groom are music majors, their wedding colors are red and gold. This is an open music box cake, with red flowers spilling out over the front and side. Can you see the silver (gumpaste) engagement ring in the front? I also did some music-note and grand-piano cookies to go with the cake. Love this one.
A big birthday party for a six year old. She wanted the teapot and teacups birthday cake, with the colors all based on the party invitations. As this cake would not be big enough for all, below you will see ...
A baby shower cake based on the nursery decor, which is white, pink and black toile. Love it. Wish I'd been cool enough to do the same theme in our eldest daughter's nursery.
For an adult woman who always wanted this kind of cake as a little girl. I love to make cake-dreams come true.
