Who's up?

Whatcha workin' on?

Just reading through the posts. I was working on chocolate transfers earlier, for a baby shower cake I'm doing for next weekend.

Strangely, it feels hotter outside now than it did when the sun was up. The chocolate became a bit uncooperative, so I put it down for the night.

I'm about to roll fondant to cover a 3D Mini Car. It's my 1st 3D sculpted cake so fingers crossed it all turns out ok.

another diagram, as usual

and contemplating the farewell cake i'm doing tomorrow (church member off to the seminary to become a pastor)

Hello, just taking a break from a Little Einsein cake and a Christening gown cake. I am also trying something new. Making MMf with some powdered gumpaste and PS to see how it comes out.

Finished baking cakes for DD's birthday cake: Dora! Did chocolate transfers yesterday, and fondant stars on wires. (second attempt at this! first time they turned out ok...hoping for similar success this time!) Thinking about icing the 75 star cookies...kinda late...long day w/kiddies...thinking I will do them in the am! (party's not til Mon.)

I'm working on two wedding cakes and 1 groom's cake. Delivered 12 dozen wedding cupcakes + one giant cupcake, and another wedding cake for 250.

Yes rocket with the 4 chaacters and on top of a 10" sky cake. I am reall proud of it. My nephew will love it. his favoite is Quincey (I think thats what his name is) but I think the little blond girl is cute.

3 tier graduation cake with paisleys - two of the three cakes are covered and stacked - off to do the 3rd then its time to cut out all the paisleys!!

I am SOOOOOOOOO ready for BED!

anyone make any fun flavors for the weekend?? Tried a key lime cake for the first time...hoping it tastes as good as it smells! (you've not heard anything cuter until you hear an *almost* 3 yr old say, "mommy, I want Key Lime!") lol!!! Spoiled little girl! haha!

I love paisley. Cant wait to see.

Finished a birthday cake for my sisters FIL. Anticipating the craw fish boil party tomorrow .. mmmm yummy. About to upload the fishing birthday cake I made him. My first at gum paste figures, think I did ok.

Yum, key lime sounds good. Want to share?

Can't wait to see your figures!!! I love figures!!

I just got some new paisley cutters and they are bigger than my other ones, so I'm kinda hoping this time goes faster than last time!! haha!!

trying to find ideas for a cake due on tuesday, so brousing cc for ideas.... Working on fondant people...I can do the face/hair ok, but still working on the bodies.

Just finished my cakes...two pickups and one delivery tomorrow!

It was a really fun cake to make. My father made a hugh plywood cut out of rocket that will be used at the party as a bean bag toss ( he cut out holes where the lights are and in a few other places) I haven't posted pictures in months, I think I will on Monday though. I have quite a bit.

i forgot to ask when i posted ... what is a good filling for a fresh orange pound cake.. it is for my grandson next weekend. he wants an orange pound cake.. i will make it in layers.. thank you

I just finished my biggest cake to date! I'm pretty proud of this one actually.
It's a design inspired by Alana Hodgson.

It's for a 1 year old's birthday. I made a smash cake as well.. but kinda screwed that one up so it's not in the picture yet. I used pink pearl dust spray to give it some shimmer.. and didn't realize the pink would be so dark Next time i'll just use the pearl to get this shimmer.

Ooh and let me mention.. I used SPS for the first time! Thanks Leahs! My tiers were a tiny bit too short but the border covers that pretty well. Now if I could just cover my cake flawlessly..

Happy caking!

I'll be here a while.

Another voice for the SPS choir! It's getting to be a big group.

I just poured a glass of Chardonnay, this is fun. Oh, the cakes are done for the night. Its 11:30 pm here.
