Carriage

I had tried something else, which didn't work- this was all I could come up with at the last minute. Doesn't do a good job of hiding my lumpy buttercream, but all the non-caker attendees were impressed!

Booties And Flowers

My first attempt at gumpaste booties! Thank you to JaneK for the template. Inspiration for this cake is from the middle tier of a cake by alanahodgson. I had no buttercream left, so mine is all fondant. Thanks to all those on CC for the tips and tricks that helped make this my first normal looking fondant cake!

Baby Girl Cookies

Cookies for a celebration of the birth of a baby girl. NFSC with fondant. No royal details since these are being shipped overseas, and I was afraid of what would happen to them. I like the shoes the best!

First Loopy Bow

This was my first (and so far only) attempt at a loopy bow. I made it with chocolate clay, which isn't the best choice! Glued together with melted chocolate. Thanks to Cake Boss for the tutorial.

Border Practice

I did this cake soon after taking Wilton course 1. No worries about less than perfect buttercream- it's covered! Perfect for border practice too! Cover with chopped almonds and chocolate.

Mini Anniversary Cakes

One of three mini cakes that I attempted. The smaller the cake the harder it is! Chocolate cake with buttercream and then fondant. I had a hard time covering them with buttercream, so they are pretty lumpy and bumpy! Not too bad for a first attempt.

Death By Chocolate

A small cake so that we could celebrate our engagement anniversary in style! Chocolate cake covered with chocolate buttercream and then ganache. The designs on the sides I first imprinted with a scrapbooking stencil and then traced with ganache. This was a cake of many firsts for me! Thanks to everyone fopr all I have learned from this site!
