Hello Kitty Cake
I took a class with Andrea Sullivan from Sweet Cakers and she was teaching everyone to do a Coco chanel purse with lipstick & nailpolish. I however wanted to make a cake for a friend of mine who is a big fan of Hello Kitty. So I, improvised while I was at class and really like how it turned out. If anyone knows of Andrea, they should take her classes, she is one talented artist who has her own unique flare for putting cakes together. I`m really lucky that Ive attended already 2 classes and will be taking one tomorrow: D

Wedding Mini Cakes
Yes, I know the cakes are not perfectly squared: D lol! I made these samples for my friends brothers wedding. She gave the colours to work with and then I put these 3 cakes for her to choose from. My friends mother made the fruit cakes and we ended up doing the decorations. We had to make 150 but ended up with approx. 180 mini-cakes: D P.S.- She ended up picking the red rose style but with a mauve pink rose : D

Baby Shower For Boy
Hi everyone, this cake was for a co-workers baby shower. The mother knew that she was having a boy. I made 36 cupcakes to go along with the cake, the cake is yellow cake with a white chocolate/ cream cheese frosting ( which was really yummy). The cupcakes were vanilla with blue frosting and chocolate fudge with chocolate chips and white butter cream frosting. There were a few mistakes that I made but not bad for a 1st real order. I learned a few things that I'll make sure to remember the next time; D P.S.- I actually got this design from "KRISTYCAKES" hers looks soooooo much better than mine. I love her stuff: D

Two Tone Buttercream Frosting
This cupcake has a two colour frosting. I used the cornflower and royal blue. I think it should have been darkened up more and then I added a fondant rose and some silver balls ( I know thats not the correct term: D ) I then individually boxed them for my friends: D TFL : D

Happy Diwali

Anyways, the inside was a vanilla cake with butter rum butter cream filling. I painted the gold balls along the bottom and on the green swirls are luster dust with clear vanilla extract.

Juicy Hand Bag
This is my 1st handbag. I was really excited to try this but I ran into a bit of a problem. My cakes are all eggless and therefore my cakes don't have that heavier dense texture required to do a fondant cake. So when I was carving the cakes it was crumbling. I tried freezing and then carving but it would only last for a while and in it went back into the freezer. Other than that, everything else went really well. I actually goth this from another CC'er and I'm sorry I don't remember your id. This is a 5 layer devils chocolate with vanilla frosting. I picked from another CC'er that after the 3rd layer to add dowels into the cake( 3 of them) and then I put anoter piece of cardboard and then layered the last 2 cakes. The cake is very stable and I'm so happy with the result. I'll be taking this into work and its not anyones birthday, I was only doing a trial in case I ever have to do one: D TFL : )

Black/ Red And White
This is my 5th fondant cake and its for a friend of mine at work. She is celebrating her 4th anniversary. This mini cake is covered in Black fondant with a red gross grain ribbon, I had a white ribbon but the black just bled right thru it. There are the silver balls that are attached using white chocolate and the red roses are made out of fondant. I orginally was trying to make a gumpast flower but was having a very hard time with it. So i ended up using a real daisy flower which I made sure wasn't touching the cake part. Anyways, I struggled with this cake because the weather was very bad out ( its was raining) and the fondant was sweating. Thats why you see a bit of the sheen on the cake. Overall I'm ok with the result, hope she likes it: D

4Th Fondant Cake--My Birthday Cake
this one is very special to me because its my birthday cake. Its a 3 layer cake, vanila/ chocolate/ vanila with vanila cream. I coloured the fondant with gel colours and then cut the diamond shapes by hand, the flowers are with the daisy cutters and the circles are the wilton cutters. After that I added the pearl luster dust on the cut out pieces and the balls along the bottom of the cake. Then to top it off I made a wire creation with beads that matched the cake colours. I orginally was going to make a topsy-turvy but it was a bit too much. I actually was very tired with doing this one. Who knows maybe the next one will be a topsy-turvy: D........I really enjoyed doing this one, hope you guys like it too.

3Rd Fondant Cake
this is a white cake with chocolate cream filling. I used chocolate fondant from Satin Ice which was really good. I used daisy cutters for the flowers and yellow chocolate to attach the silver candy balls. The green ribbon and pink flower were coloured with gel. The ribbon part was a bit tricky, I had rolled it out and it broke in half, which I covered with a flower (plus you can't see it because its on the back side of the cake ) Overall not bad.
