4Th Of July

Here's yet another of the chocolate cakes that was ordered by my mom's coworkers. Yes, I know all I do is 8-in round cakes. :) I'm on a budget, they're easy, and they easily feed the people who want them from me.

Dustin's Cake

A chocolate cake for Dustin who was turning 6. I love the dots. I thought about pressing the tops down on all the dots, but I liked them better with points. They looked like little candies that way. Buttercream, 8-inch round.

Chocolate Cake

Just a random chocolate cake that a guy that works with my mom asked for. This was decorated after I'd been awake for almost 24 hours and was hyped up on coffee, sugar and soda. All buttercream, 8-in round.

Jimmy's Cake

After my first day of this term's cake class, I decided to make my boyfriend a 'feel better' cake. He had a bad day at work and I thought cake would cheer him up. This is just plain ol' buttercream (mint flavored) with chocolate cake. (And I only wish I had the patience to pipe all those little dots. But alas, it is just paper towel texturing, as some people noticed. A quick and easy way to make the cake look a little more elegant.) :)

Spidercake

I made this for Halloween for my mom and nephews. Yes, I know the writing sucks. :) I started with a #1 tip on accident and then figured "Eh. It will be eaten in an hour anyway". I really should branch out into something more than 9-in round cakes, but for now that's really the only nice pans I can afford. :)

Practice Cake

My 4th cake ever. I was just messing around practicing the little stringwork guys on the side of the cake. The piping took probably an hour, I think. All buttercream.

Class - Roses

This was the cake from my fourth night at class. It was the first time I've done roses, and the 3rd cake I've ever done. The frosting was a bit thin, so my roses are small and a little goopy, but I'm happy with it just the same.
