NFSC iced with royal icing. Cookies are custom cut from images from the internet. I couldn't find the shapes I wanted in cookie cutters so I printed the images and cut them from the rolled out dough with a knife. First bouquet, I learned a few things I'd like to do different next time.

Gum paste roses are made with varied shades of purple paste and petal dusted for further variation. Cutters used for the leaves and rose petals are also varied.

This cake consists of 12"x5", 10"x5" and 8"x5" tiers. Iced with buttercream icing and trimmed with chocolate brown satin ribbon. The bride wanted sage green cake. Color achieved by using Americolor Avocado and Wilton Juniper greens. The lilies on top were created by me from gum paste then painted with dry petal dust and taped together. First time making wired gum paste flowers. Scroll work was adapted from bridal invitation.
2 different flowers used to make the topper for a wedding cake. 1 of the lilies was made using the GEM cutter for lilies the others were made from a template and mold I created based off a real casa blanca lily. These are the first wired and taped gum paste creations I have made.

Thank you to jillycakes for her Christmas Cheesecake. She gave me the info I needed to accomplish this cheesecake. Follow your favorite baked cheesecake recipe. Reserve about a cup of batter (or what you estimate you will need for your design). Pour the rest into the crust. Pipe on your design using your pastry bags and tips. Bake per instructions. I used a projector clamped to my cupboard door to get the image on the cheesecake. My freehand art is not so good.

This cake was made in high altitude and I tried to make the buttercream from memory. It's a 6" cake so small but so frustrating. The more I tried to "fix" the icing the worse it got. The cake was not only high altitude, but I didn't know the oven so it took forever to bake and never did quite get done. It tasted ok, but I couldn't use it for the class I was supposed to have it for.
