Hi All - This is my first paid cake. A gentleman from work decided he like my first version enough to order one for his wife for Mother's Day. It is a 8 inch doctored chocolate box cake. The recipe is credited to the CC recipe files. I'm not to worried about my abilities. I told him I was new and taking classes and he didn't even bat an eye. I sure hope his wife likes it. He says she is crazy for chocolate anything... so here goes nothing! Thanks for looking.
Hi All - This cake is a first of sorts. This is the first time I attempted roses for a cake and the first time I attempted an 8 in round chocolate scratch cake. I hpe the ladies at work like the cake. Thanks for looking!
This is the Texas cake pan that DH husband picked out at the Cake Store and the Pizza Hut box board I was able to get when I forgot to get a board at the cake store. It's my first charater cake... It was a great practice cake to do with the techniques I am learning for my cake class. It's a doctored up Chocolate DH mix. I hope the guys at work will like it!
This cake was done by my next door neighbors daughter who is 12. I showed her how to color icing, put a cuppling / tip on a bag, fill the bag and gave her time to practice a simple star (tip 16) on my practice board. We took cookie cutters that she liked, stamped the cake and this is her finished cake. I think she was a bit disappointed that the cake was 6 inches and didn't have a 9 inch to do more on... Bless her heart! Not to bad for about 10 minutes of practice and cutting her loose!
I was a bit worried about my shell work during class, but came home and they turned better than I thought they would. In class the clowns where skinny and needed a cheeseburger! I guess being at home made the difference. Practice... Practice... Practice!
Since there wasn't enough time in class to finish my cake, I decided to redo it in the colors I picked for the design. I though I would pull my hair out smoothing BC, but managed... It was a lot better than the first BC coated cake I took to class! Now to find someone to eat it - SMILE - Bottom Cake is orange. Top cake is a yellow cake. Practice... Practice... Practice!
This was inspired by my wonderful dentist & his outstanding staff! Although I have to get a tooth pulled tomorrow after suffering a week with a major infection in an old root canal tooth, I am very blessed to have a dentist who cares about his patients pocket books and over all care. The cake is orange flavored with matching bc under the fondant! I call it the Tooth Fairy!
This is a two layer yellow cake made with Wilton Fondant & gum paste flowers. The doll is made of Fondant and the flowers out gum paste. I made if for a family get together. Overall I was not happy with the design that is why I didn't finish the bottom design, but my friends and family thought it was just "too cute" and ate it all up. I asked for honest opinions on the taste. They were not happy with the Fondant (not sweet enough), but thought the cake was very moist eventhough it was a simple box cake.
Hi All - I saw the pattern on the CC home page and thought I would give it a go. Both are made out of Fondant. The one with yellow dress has hair made of brown buttercream icing. The one in purple is a near disaster... I used royal icing for the blonde hair... but it kept sliding down her face... I tried to clean it up with a paint brush, but it just got worse... so that is way she doesn't have any eyes yet... I tried to make a little crown, but I need more practice. same goes for the dots on her dress.
Hi All - This is my second cake without a class! It's a two layer 6 inch chocholate cake for my neighbor. I can't wait to see what I can do after a class! Ladysonja
This is a single layer 6 & 8 inch stacked yellow cake. I used white & pink fondant for the base. Heart & an Icing Tip (round dots) cut outs to decorate. I piped icing above the pink dots so it looks like a ribbon of fondont. This is my very first Fondant cake and my first basuc cake class is 09Apr07. My husband was very surprised to see the finished project and is willing to invest in my newly found hobby. I hope the girls at work will like it! Hope you like it as well - Ladysonja
