i didn't take classes...but self taught...i start classes on thursday for fondant...i'm really looking forward to it...image isn't all that gr8...i have to wait to develop photos...this was taken off my camera phone...i was very proud and couldn't wait to show ya'll...

Cute!

well that certainly is a very well done cake...

and self taught at that! are you sure you need classes?

looks like you're well on your way and have the luck of the Irish on your side.

Looks like you will be ahead of the class!!!!

Excellent work! You will be a star pupil in the fondant class!

im so excited...i keep up bouncing up n down im so giddy...

Great job!!!!! You should be proud!

Very cute... green is one of my fave colors! I like the diamond pattern all around, too.

ty...i used the fondant cut out thing...then recolored some fondant n put the diamonds back in...

It's lovely. I'm self-taught as well.

thank you all...i can't wait until i make my bday cake this week...

You have not taken classes? WOW I love the cake. Its really cute. Great job

nope no classes...first class is on thursday...i haven't taken the buttercream classes either...which on my class paper it said i had to take wilton class 1...so i hope i don't get to much hassle for that...

Wow!!! great job!!! imagine what you'll do after taking the classes

That looks great. I'm self taught as well. I doubt I'll ever take classes though I wish I could. I've learned a lot from this website since joining last summer.

How did you like that feeling of seeing it all done? Isn't it great!!!!!!!!??!!!!!

ty monica...ty all...my bf was saying the same thing...

n yes i love the feeling of having it all done...it was trully amazing...to see that i can acutally do something i didn't think was possible at all...

Your cake looks great!

Good Job!!!!

I LOVE it! WTG for your first cake. What did you use for covering the cake?

i used fondant...if that's what u mean...i'm still new to the whole cake thing...i just got stuff about a month ago to start doing cakes...

Wow, what a wonderful job. I can't believe that is self taught.

ok so i had to share...i sent the photo of the cake to my mom last night...and i wanted to cry...not cuz i was hurt...but cuz for the first time ever in my life i heard her say she was proud of me...
she didn't say it when i graduated w/a B+ average (from HS...)
or when I enlisted in the military (got medical discharge from basic training but hey at least i tried...)
or when i actually got a letter saying my poem was to be published...(due out in dec 2007)...
nada...zilch...nothing...but a cake...i guess cuz for the first time...she got to see how talented her daughter is...i was so happy...

Thats sad about your mum but at least she has woken up and realized that she should be proud!! That is a great cake and i can only imagine how you will do with classes

ty...i wish my mom had seen my talent earlier on in life...the all american girl didn't impress her...neither did the tomboy side...up until now i didn't feel like i could do anything right...now i know that's not right either...and i should just accept the fact that my mom can't accept me...

That is lovely and you certainly have the talent for this art. You are going to be an excellent cake decorator.

ty all...for so much encouragment...
