Half A Cake Is Better Than None
So no one could wait to take pictures! Another one of my practice cakes made for friends. I think my favorite thing right now is learning new textures and borders. The flavor was requested: sour cream devil's food, choco pudding filling, with choco buttercream. Can you get too much chocolate??

Black Forest Cake
Never made one before...only ever ate it once. I think it turned out pretty good. Devil's food cake, cherries and home made whipped cream and chocolate whipped cream. This is that cantankerous 8x3 I was venting about -- it turned out fine and I made it into 3 layers. Thanks for listening to me rant -- and thanks for looking. Happy New Year!

Wilton Fondant Course - Final Cake
Finale cake for the fondant class - we were allowed to use any of the techniques learned. Spice cake with cinnamon filling; almond butter cream and covered in fondant. I used Wilton fondant to which I added flavoring. It still has the odd back-taste of playdough, but its a little better.

Birthday Cake
Funfetti cake with strawberry filling. The swirl dots are the placeholders for the candles. I delivered the cake - they later took it to a restaurant...and then disaster hit. It was tipped, the cake slide and 1/2 the side crashed off before the candles were lit. Nonethless, the mom and birthday boy were pleased and I am happy to report they ate every crumb.

Baby Shower
Two layer chocolate with chocolate pudding filling (the mom to be's request). Cream cheese (crustable) icing, with butter-cream décor and sprinkles!! This is for a co-worker who is having her second daughter in ear;y August. I wish I could have had at least my first Wilton cake under my belt before this was due! This was truly a learning experience.
