Pea in the Pod Baby Shower Cake

I made this cake for a baby shower for my best friend, Jen.  I got the design from several different sources, one being the pinkcakebox.com.  It was my first attempt making a pea in the pod, but I was very pleased how it turned out! Congrats Ben and Jen...and Welcome Callie Grace!

"The Office" Birthday cake

Being a huge fan of "the office", I had such a fun time making this cake for my friend.  On this cake I included Michael's mug (changing boss to friend), various quotes from the office on gumpaste sticky notes around the side of the cake, the red wire from one of the practical jokes Jim played on Dwight, and Michael's white shirt and blue tie.  I also make fondant paper balls around the bottom of the cake.  Also, instead of using just a plain cake board, I got a cheap ($9) white/cork board to place the cake on.  The other items on the board were not edible.  I just cheated and got some paper clips, pencils and sticky notes.  Happy Birthday Jen!
