Haunted Castle

I used this pan for my granddaughter's birthday and just discovered the alternate directions on the Wilton web site for this haunted castle. I brought it in to work today and everyone loved it. Happy Halloween!

Chocolate Castle Birthday Cake

This cake is out of the Wilton Year Book and a few others have done it on Cake Central. I measured the height of the cake before putting the dowels on the back of the chocolate plaque but I guess the cake settled a little overnight and my dowels were a little too long. It didn't matter though my granddaughter loved the cake and was so anxious to blow out the candles and cut the cake.

Snow White Barbie Cake

I made this in a class at Michaels. My granddaughter loves Snow White so I copied her Snow White. Unfortunately the bottom of the dress got messed up before I took the picture.

Course Iii Final Tiered Wedding Style Cake

Buttercream with peach petunias. I tried duplicating a cake out of the 2006 Wilton Yearbook. I guess I'm one who follows directions too closely. The instructions said 3/4", 1-1/4", etc. up to 2-1/4". Dummy me, I should have realized they were too long and centered them down the side of my cake. Oh well, live and learn. I also should have made the ball tip and iced the strings upwards. Overall I am pleased with the way it turned out. I'm really sad the classes are over. I had a great instructor!

Baby Shower Cake

I made this for a friends baby shower. I found the directions at Michaels.com entitled "Naturally Curly". I deviated from the directions some. My cake is two layers with buttercreat instead of fondant. I did use fondant for the eyes, nose, ears and feet. I also used a 10" pan for the head instead of the 9" the directions called for. I think it turned out pretty cute.

My First Cookie Boquet

My first attempt at a cookie boquet. It was for my friend's birthday. I love the gingerbread people. These two are in swim suits. I should have taken the picture before bagging each cookie.

45Th Anniversary Cake

I made this after only 3 weeks of classes. Before I discovered the Viva paper towel method. I used the drop flowers to cover imperfections in the buttercream. I was proud of it at the time. I think I could do better now.

Course Ii Final

This is my Course II final cake. I like the basket weave. I'm having such a great time decorating cakes. My instructor and other class members are a lot of fun. Course III here I come!
