Big Green Monster

I've been dying to attempt a cake like this since I saw an orange one like it on Pinterest last year.  So when my mother-in-law needed a cake for a Halloween party and trusted me to be creative, I knew just what to do.

Chocolate cake filled and iced with buttercream. The eyes and mouth are fondant.

Coffin Cake

Not another teen birthday...and oh yes, this boy wanted a coffin cake.  I guess it's appropriate considering his birthday was so close to Halloween.

This was a classic vanilla cake filled and iced in buttercream and covered in fondant.  The "wood grain" was done with a mixture of food coloring and vanilla extract.
