Fondant Magnitude Car

I recently had the honor of creating a fondant car cake topper to replicate Jerry Magnuson's Magnitude car.  The commission came from Jerry's daughter and the fondant Magnitude car cake topper was a surprise for her Mom and Dad's 25th wedding anniversary AND Mom's birthday!

First, here is the real thing...

Now, for the fondant Magnitude car cake topper


This topper was a blast to work on, first because it was my first car, and second, because my husband knows Jerry's daughter and wanted to be in on the creation.  The car is an award winner and so my husband added a trophy...

I say, not bad for his first try.  Hmmm, maybe he can be my new assistant!

Fondant Noah's Ark Cake Toppers

Have you ever heard Bill Cosby's Noah routine?  If you haven't it is a must hear!  It came to mind recently when I was asked to make Noah's ark themed toppers for two different cakes. 

The first request came from a cake designer in Aspen, Colorado.  Her request, Fondant Noah and Fondant giraffes, lions, monkeys and elephants on lollipop sticks that could be stuck into an ark cake.


NOTE: The giraffes did get spots -- they were painted on after the photos were taken.

The second request was for a fondant Noah's ark toppers for a baby shower cake.  This design included four free standing palm trees, Noah, an ark, and 2 of each animal, including a pair of black labrador retrievers. 




I am thankful for the "Noah" reminder and had a wonderful time working on these toppers!
