Pretty In Pink
This is the cake I made for the May TD (congrats to bashini for winning!). I had so many issues with this cake...my fondant kept rolling way too thin and I over whipped my icing (trying to do string work with over whipped icing was a huge pain in the butt),so I ended up only doing one level of string work on the first tier and none on the second. Oh well, you live and learn. On the bright side I was thrilled with how my roses came out, thanks for the tutorial Edna!

Calla Lily
Thanks to Tonedna for her tutorial! This calla lily was one of three items I entered into my states cake show. It got 2nd place to my orchid, unfortunately though I was the only person who entered in the 17 and under special techniques not on a category so my only competition was myself. Oh well, I guess that shows how rare my talent is for someone my age. TFL!

Orchid Entry
I entered three items in my states cake show this year one of which was this orchid (the leaves and pot are artificial and were for displaying purposes only) which received 1st place in the 17 and under category for special techniques not on a cake. Unfortunately I was the only person who entered in that category so my competition was my calla lily which received 2nd. Oh well, I guess that shows how rare my talent is at my age ! TFL!

My First Hibiscus!
This is my first time making a gumpaste hibiscus and although I am pretty happy with how it turned out I will definitely makes some changes next time. I am very new to gumpaste, so couldn't find a tutorial that used cutters that I had, so I ended up using circle cutters and coming up with my own technique. TFL!

Best Friend Panda Cake
Every year when my best friend I get to see each other we always make a cake together, so this year when I saw this design by Sonoma9 (hers was way better!) I knew it was the perfect idea since my friend is from China. So the idea is that the two panda bears represent us (although they look more like sumo wrestlers than then look like us! :) ) TFL!
