Diego Jeep
Chocolate cake with chocolate fudge filling. The bottom tier is covered with buttercream and fondant and the top tier is covered with buttercream and cookie crumbs.
The jeep is 100% edible, made with rice krispies treats, buttercream, fondant and gumpaste. The flags, grass and rocks are a gumpaste and fondant mix. The Diego logo and headlights are gumpaste and I colored them with food safe markers.
Diego and Baby Jaguar are plastic figurines, but everything else on the cake is edible. A close up of the jeep is below.

Pizza Cake
This was a lot of fun to make! And surprisingly simple. The cake was made much larger than needed, but only because it's much more life-like at 12" round.
Chocolate cake with chocolate fudge filling, covered in buttercream and fondant. Rice krispies treats covered with fondant make up the "crust." The "sauce" is strawberry preserves mixed with buttercream and a bit of red and brown coloring gel. Everything else on the pizza...ahem, cake...is made from fondant.
The Cat is Back
Hello Kitty, done a bit differently. My camera battery literally died after I took this first shot, and I have better angles/pics on my phone that I will upload later.
The tiers are yellow cake with chocolate pudding filling covered in buttercream and fondant.
The Hello Kitty face is carved from rice krispies treats, covered in fondant and decorated with gumpaste accents. Everything on this cake is edible.
