beatles cake

mo's hubby is a huge beatles fan.  so i thought that the cover of the yellow submarine album would be a great cake for this birthday.

he liked the cake so much all he could say was the cake was cool.  i don't know if that is good or bad. but everyone else had a better reaction to the cake.  :)

8.8.08 cake

this cake was for a wedding on 8/8/08, a very lucky date apparently. the bride just wanted an "8" design to go with the date.  so after much thought i came up with this idea at the last minute. i think it turned out very well. the flower placement could have been better.  it was only my second time adding flowers to a cake.  i just wished the roses were more open and not buds.  that didn't help.   the best man was in charge of getting the flowers and then was upset with my flower placement.  oh well.
