Jaxon's 3rd Birthday - Ghostbuster's Fondant & Gumpaste Cake

I made this cake for, my grandson, Jaxon's 3rd birthday.  He's the pride and joy in his "Honey's" eyes.  I love him so much.

This is my second attempt of decorating cakes using fondant and gumpaste.  I did a lot better this time mixing the colors into the fondant.  You definitely learn to do a little more with each try. 

Jaxon wanted a Ghostbuster themed birthday cake.  On the cake you'll see Slimer, Ray, Winston, the car, Stay Puft man, and several different ghosts along with the ghostbuster logo.

I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Alexa's Princess Cake

I've been trying my hand at making cakes using gumpaste and fondant.  This is my first fondant cake.  I made it for my niece, Alexa's 4th birthday.  My niece is very particular about what she wants and told me her cake had to have ladybugs, roly poly's and "Larry the Lizard".

Towers were not attached in this photo.

There's Larry the Lizard

I wish I would have put some decorative flower or gumpaste cutout to cover the few places where the color and fondant were not incorporated well.

Gumpaste flowers were made without the use of tools.  I found some great videos on YouTube to help make these flowers.
