Halloween Cupcakes

wilton designs (werewolve, vampire, mummy, and cyclops). i made these for my little brothers' (twins) 1st grade halloween party. double vanilla cupcakes with chocolate and vanilla betty crocker icing (didn't have ingredients for bc and my mom had the icing tubs laying around....kids don't know the difference right?)

Starburst Rose

this is my first time using starbursts to create flowers. here is my attempt at a rose. next time i think i'll try doing 3 - 5 - 7 petal rows.

Starburst Daffodil

this is my first time using starbursts to create flowers. here is my attempt at a daffodil. wasn't too pleased but i learned a few things for next time. mini dum dum pop in the center.

Cupcakes

these were supposed to be for my step-daughter's red ribbon week at school but since she just started this school i didn't know that they weren't allowed baked goods so instead of making red ribbons i used some old drop flowers from my wilton classes a loooooong time ago. double chocolate cupcakes filled with vanilla cream iced in chocolate buttercream.

Book Worm

i made his cake for my little brothers' 1st grade teacher. my mom wanted something special for her to thank her for the great job she's done so far with the twins. cake is debbie brown's design w/ a little flair added to the worm. worm is mmf (my mom's first time with mmf and molded mmf figures!) double vanilla cake w/ my stabilized whipped cream and fresh strawberry filling iced in cream cheese buttercream. everyone ooh and ahh'd when i delivered the cake and the teacher absolutely loved it!!!

Strawberry Margarita Cake

i made this cake for my one of my best friend's housewarmings. strawberry margarita cake iced in fresh strawberry buttercream with a bit of jose cuervo added. the kiddos helped me create the "salt rim".

Ring Close-Up

here's a close-up of the box for the ring (not the real ring that he used to propose).

Pink Proposal Cake

this was for a co-worker who was going to propose to his girlfirend but i actually used it for my course 3 final cake. i tried to get the tiffany blue color for the box but i don't think i hit that mark. oh well, close enough.

Course 3 Gift Cake

my first time with fondant. the brown dot in the back is doubled up due to my lack of knowledge of exactly how fast vanilla dries and adheres the fondant. oh well....vanilla dries fast, lesson learned. cake is a sour lemon with fresh lemon filling and lemon cream cheese butter cream under the fondant. next time i'll try flavoring my fondant too.

Housewarming

this is a cake i made as a gift for a client who purchased their new home and got their home loan through me and my husband. the cake is chocolate cherry w/ cream cheese filling. this is the first cake i made for someone other than family so i was really nervous about it. i think i need work on my writing.

Course 2 Final Cake

this is my final cake for the wilton course two. i absolutely loved learning how to make all of those flowers!

Rose Cake

this was my final cake for course one. my roses needed work but it was great practice. i freehanded the scrolls with beadwork but i think next time i'll buy the design press.
