Ben Is 43!
This is the first cake I made outside of cake class. It's is a birthday cake for my husband, who turned 43 on Saturday. He asked for a Fall Theme, so this is what he got. I used a leaf cookie cutter we had in the cupboard, and the leaf-making skills I learned in class. The cake is a boxed spice cake, and I made the "Decorator Cream Cheese Frosting" recipe from this site. It tasted pretty good.

Course 1 Roses
I'm really happy with how my Rose Cake came out. The roses look really hard to do but they aren't. I'm also really happy with how my colors came out. The white rose in the middle was a practice rose, but I liked it so much that I kept it. Hooray for Roses! I still need to practice frosting cakes. My goal is to make a round hatbox, and I haven't gotten there yet.

Halloween Clown Cake.
This cake was for Course 1, Class 3. The clown heads kind of freaked me out so I used candy pumpkins. :) I also used cream cheese frosting instead of the class buttercream for the orange frosting and it slumped something terrible. Owell - people learn by experimentation, right?
