Thanksgiving- Pumpkin Cupcakes

Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes from scratch with cream cheese icing and nutmeg...mmmmm!!!

Bridge Cake

Some of our friends recently celebrated the completion of a new bridge across their creek, and asked me to make a "bridge cake". :) They sent me pictures of the bridge, and I did my best to replicate it in rice krispies and modeling chocolate...;) with piping gel water and cookie crumb gravel to top it off.

PT Cruiser

 The Chrysler PT Cruiser: Chocolate cake stacked and iced with buttercream, then covered in white and dark modeling chocolate. I painted it with icing color and luster dust to give a metallic look.

The sand was flour and brown sugar. This combination works better for two reasons - it doesn't clump like pure brown sugar, and the flour makes it the right color for sand on a Florida beach. :)
Sorry I didn't get better detail shots! I had another cake to do at the same time, and I didn't have the chance to get more pics.
