Frogs Galore
A cake for a frog-themed baby shower, and loosely based on the invitation (top right corner). The ladybugs and bees are royal icing, and the frogs are hand-sculpted MMF. Each little frog is in a different pose. My favorite is the one who has his hand over his mouth -- he looks like he's up to something!

Mmf Draping And Roses
This was my first time to try draping, and also my first time making roses since the Wilton 3 class. I made more roses after I made these, but I guess the color settled in these overnight, so the roses didn't match, even though it was from the same batch of fondant -- so I had to strategically arrange the ones I already had. I love, love, love this cake. Everything is MMF.

Chocolate Covered Strawberries
This cake was the reason I started taking the Wilton classes. I had tons of trouble getting the icing smooth, and the chocolate buttercream seemed to get lighter when I refrigerated the crumb coat, so when I put on the second coat, the un-refrigerated stuff was darker! Has this happened to anyone? Then the chocolate covered strawberries started sweating profusely, and there was liquid running down the sides of the cake by the time of the reception. Everyone said it was gorgeous, but I was disappointed.

Thank You
Our little dog Sapphire ran away when the wind blew open our back gate, and a neighbor 3 blocks away found her and kept her safe. This was a cake I made to thank her. It was my first frozen buttercream transfer, and I was reasonably happy with the way it turned out! This is almost exactly what our dog looks like.

Kelleym And Buttercream Announce Divorce
After a disastrous trial reconciliation, KelleyM and Buttercream have announced they are immediately filing for divorce. Hes a bum, KelleyM sobbed to her sister at 1:20 this morning. Hes sloppy and messy and he lets me down when it really counts. I cant live like this anymore. Buttercream told friends that KelleyM ignored his best qualities. She had unrealistic expectations. She wanted more than I could give. I knew she was using Fondant again. She would say she was just going out for more butter, and come home with bags of marshmallows, saying she had a craving for Rice Krispy treats. But she never bought Rice Krispies. She wasnt fooling anyone. Cant she see that Fondant tastes like #*%#$? Someday shell be back. Ha! Never! retorted KelleyM. After what that little *^&$@ did to me on that rubber duck cake? Hes lucky Im just divorcing him. Fondant treats me nicemakes me feel like a real decorator. This is the start of my new life, and Im NEVER going back.
