Ok, so here's my first shot at fondant and only the second cake I've ever done....It's not the best, but it was a lot of fun to make!!

I would show my first cake but I don't have a pic of it. It was 3 years ago for my daughter's 3rd birthday I made a character cake "strawberry shortcake". It was a disaster but I kept at it, LOL.
(the first one stuck to the pan, the second one the dog ate and the third one I decorated and cried over it until I just got mad and finished it and it wasn't that bad after all. I told my husband at the party to take a pic of the cake and well....he did, technically the cake was in the photo although you can barely see the cake in the background.

Here was my first cake. I burned out 2 mixers making it

This is the first fondant cake I made.

this was my first cake ever,done in jan of this year for my son. i thought it was pretty good, and sometimes im suprised how nice my cakes come out now

I don't have a picture of my first (oops!)

This is my second. I'm very new at decorating and I've only made it to my second cake so far. #3 is on it's way as soon as I figure out what I want to do.

Welcome pippindipity! Just wanted to say hi & welcome... you will love it here, people are sooo friendly and helpful it's great!

If this is your first cake.... you are well on your way! Great job!

OK, here's my first cake. I haven't 'published' it before. I made it last November for my sister who was leaving to Austalia for a long long time. It's supposed to represent dreams and excitement. One year later I think my cakes are a bit smoother and a bit more coherent - or at least I hope they are!

sorry - let's try again, having trouble posting it.

emmascakes your FIRST cake is something I one day dream of doing

Your 'koru' design on top of that cake is a very strong Maori design meaning "new beginnings" so quite apt you would put that on your sisters going away cake!

PS: How do you get such a great finish, is it lustre dust???

I had no idea the swirls on the top meant anything - how strange, thank you for telling me! The finish is lustre dust mixed with vodka and painted on thickly.

Here's my first... it was actually a "practice" cake for my wedding... my "actual" cake didn't turn out so I had to hire someone to make it 3 days before our wedding! But I think the practice cake looked great... that's what gave me so much confidence!
