Hi All,

Just wanted to share. After working so hard on two cakes last Friday, which was technically 4 cakes, ending up with a migraine and matching back and leg pain... ouch! They have both been hits!!!

I guess I'm very daring since I've only been decorating for 3 months. One cake was a whimsical cake with a NY Yankees cap on top. The other one was two purse cakes for twins. All of them are first tries icon_eek.gif and I'm surprised I was able to pull it off.

All that hard work, especially the cleanup icon_cry.gif , is worth it when you hear praises about your cakes. I'm sure you all understand. thumbs_up.gif Here are the pics of the cakes.

Thanks for listening icon_biggrin.gif

Awsome job, you are very brave and have lots and lots of energy to pull all this off in one weekend. I'm very glad they were both hits. It's not always we hear good feedback. Thanks for sharing.

Actually, I had a lot of help from MsSugarBaker. She helped me make this. It was done a 6 inch round with a half ball round on top. The bill was done using a cardboard covered in 50/50 fondant and gumpaste. I had problems with the batch of MMF that I did. For some reason, MMF and Americolor does not work well together. I already made the batch and I didn't want to throw it out so I thought it could work by making a 50/50 MMF and Wilton fondant. A little risky, I know but it worked!!! Beautifully, to my astonishment! I got the best of both worlds. MMFs flavor and Wilton's texture thumbs_up.gif HTH

ROFLMAO... icon_lol.gificon_lol.gificon_lol.gif

Yes, only 3 months and I still have to go through Course 3 this April. I'm so excited and looking forward to this. I'm still not sure what my next step is after Course 3. Maybe I'll buy Colette's book and learn her ways icon_razz.gif
