The Art of the Cake 2010, Cleveland, Ohio
| Third Place - Winter Wonderland - Professional Division |
| Penguin Ice Fishing Cake |
| I wanted to do something fun and really detailed for this winter wonderland themed cake. The ice fishing penguin (with his hat, pole, bench, and beer cans tucked into the ice) has caught a fish that another penguin has snagged. Both are on top of an igloo, surrounded by smaller penguins playing on the surrounding ice. |

| Little Penguin Closeup |
| For these pirate cupcakes, I wanted to emphasize the presentation, so I placed the cupcakes on a desert island with the remnants of a wrecked boat. I attached doubloons around the edges of the board, and surrounded everything with pirate-themed fabric. |

| Cake Show Ho |
This was the second year of the National Capital Area Cake Show,
and I was happy to volunteer to be part of the planning
committee. But wow - it's a lot of work to put on a cake show!
Which meant I didn't have much time to work on my cakes. (As
my wife will tell you, I'm a world-class procrastinator anyway.) At
the last minute, I decided to make the "cake show ho." (I don't
mean to offend anyone by her name, but that's what she was
dubbed by the cake show attendees.) With her layer cake dress,
donut purse, and cherry-on-top hat, she was literally the
embodiment of cake. While she didn't win a prize, she was the
talk of the show.

I was looking for a display for another cake
and saw this fish plate. I thought it would
be a great display for sushi cupcakes, as I
had recently done the sushi cake with my
daughter.

Cake inspiration can come from
anywhere. I was in a garden store
picking up some lawn supplies and
saw a little deer ornament. So I
made it into a cake.
