Dragons on cakes are 100% WIN. The Natural20 of the baking world if you will 

I just laughed so hard at this I almost choked on a doughnut!

[12 inch]

Alright, for my first post I think I'll put something I decorated a few months back. I only have a few crappy iPhone pics that my buddy took, and they do not do this thing justice!

First off- the entire thing is a 12 inch layer buttermilk cake with raspberry compote filling, (thing ended up weighing at least 10lbs) and this baby is rendered entirely in buttercreme frosting...

exceptin' them tiny 1.5 inch-round hand-painted fondant circles on the sides that show the emblems of some of the other gods in D&D (this one is Nerull, but I also put in Tiamat, Wee Jas, and about 4 others)

Whatcha think, my wonderful nerdlings?

Holy crap, I did that for my friend's band recently! I highly recommend making sugar cookies, or a plain chocolate dough, because they are easy to make and decorate- but mostly because they're some of the most popular cookie flavors. Snickerdoodles would be another good choice if you wanted to do a stencil (like Jesus!) and dust cinnamon/powdered sugar/cocoa on top. I made sugar cookies and just put a smattering of royal icing on top so I could paint the cookies directly with food coloring.

hope that helps you get started 

I always get disappointed when I bite into a spice cookie and they are too thin and crispy like gingersnaps, so I am ALL OVER THIS RECIPE!

Cutting out cakes like that is such a pain, but it turned out so well I think it was worth your effort! Great job! (And the kiwi fruit was such a sweet touch)

The colors are AMAZING! The flowers must have been super fun to work with!

The cover fell off of my copy o Jurassic park recently, and now I finally know what to do with it! Awesome!

Totally sweet skull clutch action!

So cute! I definitely want to try this out!

I can't believe how good you made that thing look! Top-notch work!
