Pastry Class Final Project
This cake is an interpretation from one I saw on MSL and was made for my final project for Professional Pastry class. The cakes were baked in Wilton oval pans and then cut into emerald shapes before being covered with aqua blue fondant. The plaques on the sides are piped from royal icing and airbrushed before sugar pearls were applied (royal icing is the most awesome "glue"). The lotus on top has gumpaste petals and the center is a combination of fondant, piping gel and royal icing.

Pastry Class Team Project Cake
This cake was a class assignment. We had to incorporate specific design techniques in each layer, including Swiss dots, shell borders, applique, airbrushing and draping. My partner and I chose to do an interpretation of a Toba Garrett cake. I made the gumpaste flower on top using the Wilton "Fantasy Flower" instructions.
