My first fondant figure.

Not perfect, I am well aware....but, still cute. They are for some birthday cupcakes I'm making later this week. This shark will be holding a sign that says happy birthday, and the other cupcakes will have the shark fins coming out of the lighter blue frosting. Should be cute.

Cookies and Cream - chocolate or vanilla cake topped with cookies and cream buttercream
Create your own - I haven't listed everything I've done. But if its a cocktail, I can infuse it into cake and buttercream. If it's a candy bar, most likely I can make a ganache with it. Name your favorite flavor or spice and I will infuse it into a complimentary flavored cake or buttercream.
