Marble Fondant, Bc Roses
Practice cake #3; The marbling didn't show up well, the creamy white fondant just looks a little streaked. The roses were OK for fist timers. I could have used a different colour for the leaves so they show up a little more. The bows were a little sloppy. Not sure if the consistency of the icing was an issue. It seemed smooth at the time.

Practice Cake For Course 1
Since I have just started the Wilton 1 class, I haven't learned how to make flowers yet so I just used some leftovers from my daughter's bday party hat project. We made hats and the girls got to decorate, but I digress. I'm new to this so go easy on me. Will say this was one of the better cakes I've eaten and family commented about that too. Extracts and puddings work wonders! I hope I can recreate something similar when I learn to make flowers.

Cake #4: Striping
This is my 4th cake ever. I wanted to play with striping the bag since my instructor brought it up in my class last week. ( Wilton course 1) I am just learning to pipe borders and actually we haven't even had that class yet, but I figured I would try it so ignore the different colors on the bottom shells. I kept turning the bag and didn't realize that would have an effect until I was finished. LOL! I normally ( well, ok once before) make Wilton Buttercream but I wanted to try to use their tub icing.

Swimming Pool Birthday Cake
I copied this out of a magazine. It is two 9 in. rounds (white cake) with the middle cut out of the top layer. Berry blue jello fills the center. The original used chicklets for the "tile" around the border, but I just couldn't see using it for 2 year olds. I then used buttercream for all frosted parts. The lawn chairs, the towels, and the ball were made from starbursts. The diving board handles are the halves of a gummy life-saver. I was pleased with the results. The jello/cake combo was actually yummy!
