I made a holstein-like cake for my dad's birthday party tomorrow. My dad is a dariy farmer, that's why I did the cow theme. It is covered in MMF, but the spots are Wilton pre-colored fondant in black. The cow is plastic and came from Farm Fleet! I haven't made anything for about 3 months due to moving.....and I was a little rusty. I think the new Wilton globes I used look cute though! I should've tried to make the cow out of fondant, but I ended up doing this at the last minute.
This is covered in MMF and painted with a few colors of luster dust, then the whole thing painted with super pearl luster dust. Royal icing shamrocks and clovers, color flow shamrock on the top. I used the smallest cutter of the Wilton square fondant cutters to make the square impressions. It was hard to make the sqaures line up, but oh well, I'm over it! Practice makes perfect I guess!
I have a party to go to tonight, so I decided to get in some cake practice....It is covered in chocolate MMF (I used Hershey's Special Dark cocoa, made it a nice brown!) Circles and stripes are fondant, borders are buttercream. It turned out kinda like I pictured it to be.....and I learned chocolate MMF is YUMMY!!!
I decided to make some cupcakes for fun...these were easy and cute! I just used the 2d tip on some and 1m on others for the swirls, used sprinkles, and made lolipops with candy melts (but trimmed the sticks shorter). Fast too!
I made a few of these to send to my mother-in-law for her birthday. I hope they arrive without breaking! The flowers are made of royal icing, floodwork is done with Toba's icing, outline and other details with antonia74's icing. Used the chocolate roll out recipe from kitchengifts.com, yum!
Just some more no-fail cookies, with Toba's and antonia74's icing. I made the heart candies with candy melts and a Wilton lolipop mold, just to try something different.
I made more valentine cookies...this time I tried the chocolate roll-out cookie recipe from kitchengifts.com (they taste yummy! I used Godiva chocolate liquer in them). I made the little chocolate "love" heart out of candy melts. I used mainly Toba Garrett's glace icing and antonia74's icing for decorated cookies.
Tonight I made my final cake for course 3. I covered it in MMF, roses are made of royal icing, hearts made of color flow, both covered in luster dust. I'm kind of proud I learned so much in 12 weeks! I have a lot more to learn, I just need to keep practicing! I will miss cake class now that it is over.....
No-Fail sugar cookies. I used a combination of Toba Garrett's glace icing, antionia74's icing, and royal icing flowers I made earlier.

I decided today to practice on some cupcakes. I made them chocolate-cherry with chocolate chips. It was fun playing around with them! I gave some out to my neighbors before I ate them all....yum yum
Here is my very first experience with fondant, done tonight in class 3. I decided to make it "valentiney" and used hearts instead of the called for flowers. I think it turned out pretty cute. I just need to keep on practicing....fondant is weird! But fun.
I did my grand finale cake of course 2 last night. I have some spots where my basketweave didn't line up, and some uneven-ness with my rope border....but I'm still pretty happy with it. Course 2 was really fun learning to make all of those flowers! I hope course 3 is just as fun.

I did my final cake in course 1 last night. Roses sure are hard! But all in all, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, since it is only my 3rd decorated cake. On to course 2!!!
I did the clown cake last night, it was my second cake in course I. I decided to use dark chocolate buttercream for the heck of it. The clowns were more fun than I thought! I think it turned out pretty cute for my 2nd one. I need lots of practice!
Here are my thanksgiving cookies. I use Toba Garrett's glace icing with the no fail sugar cookie recipe.
