No fondant, this is homemade fudgey frosting and impromptu tube of frosting white decoration. That store bought stuff is crap: my hand hurts now.

A logo designed for a birthday cake theme. The small dragons were put on cupcakes alternating with little chocolate swords embedded up to the hilt. The large dragon was placed on top of the main cake.
Snowflake Christmas Cake

Medium: Illustrator/Sugar
Size: N/A
I designed this for a christmas cake which was meant to be a deep blue with the design painted on in white icing and accented with little pearls of hard candy. The cake didn't succeed, but the design has remained one of my favorites.
Kristen's Wedding – Top Cake

Medium: Illustrator/Sugar
Size: 5X4"
This was the top for the tiered cake, meant as the anniversary cake. All the designs were traced in icing on saran wrap before being placed on the cake, making the assembly the week of the wedding much faster. I don't have a picture of this cake alone.
Kristen's Wedding – Middle Cake

Medium: Illustrator/Sugar
Size: 8X4"
This was the masterpiece of the collection. A rose window ladybug, trimmed with dragonflies, set atop a pillared side with more ladybug windows and little ladybug candies along the bottom. It stood on its own to one side of the main tiered cake. (The main picture was taken before the dragonflies were added, you can just make them out on the inset photo.)

Size: 10X4"
This is the base of a tiered cake. It was white on cream, with a burgundy/hunter rose bouquet painted gold in the center. The design is a modification of the motif used in the cathedral cake, the wedding's centerpiece. It is meant to be Battenburg lace.

Here is the completed cake - all three levels! The bottom cake was decorated in butterflies, the middle with dragonflies, and the top with little bumblebees. The top and bottom tiers were decorated with lace-style icing and the middle with cathedral pillars and stained glass, and tiny ladybug candies along the bottom.
