More photos can be found on my flicker ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/gravystrudle/ ) in the edibles set. The first image is one of my Valentine's cupcakes with gumpaste flowers. Working with gumpaste is not too bad, a lot like clay in some ways. I had some problems with cracking but other than that they turned out pretty nice!
Here is the little cake I made for Valentine's Day. It is a strawberry cake with chopped up strawberries inside and a fudge icing on the top. Continuing the theme of strawberries I sliced a strawberry into thin slivers and made it into a rose- seen in the detail here.
The most recent edibles I have made were for a celebration of the Tibetan New Year last night. This year is the year of the iron hare- hence the rabbits. They are made of chocolate that I melted and piped on wax paper. I'm looking forward to exploring this technique further to create some more intricate designs. Keep an eye out for more edibles- I have St. Pat's, my daughter's birthday and MANY more special occasions calling for (or being an excuse for) fantastic looking and tasting treats.
