Wendy's Birthday Cake 2

Wendy's Birthday Cake

My first attempt at Ganache! I love the way it looks, that perfect shine :). I used ghirardelli's bitter sweet chocolate for the ganache, hershey's semi sweet chocolate for the frosting, dark chocolate & white chocolate candy melts for the stars & writing, and dark chocolate fudge for the cake. I was told the ganache did well to balance out the sweetness of the overall cake. Truly a chocoholic's dream come true :).

The leaves are silk, well washed :)

Marissa's 1St Birthday

Elijah's Chocolate Cake

Dad's 50Th Birthday Chocolate Cake

Tiffany's Baby Shower Cake

This cake just super reinforced how much I hate character cake pans :). I really, really, really wanted to stay away from using the typical 'stars' but, as you can see, I didn't completely escape it!

Second Cake Every Decorated

Woo! Learned to make roses, haha! Mad skillz here ;)

First Cake Ever Decorated

Yeah I've come a long way! I remember feeling overwhelmed with this cake, trying to figure out how to ice it smoothe...

Happy Father's Day

This is the typical basket cake you learn to make in the Wilton's class. Was easy to make another one for fathers day :).

Reggie's Birthday Cake

This was a last minute cake made for someone at my husbands work. No one would tell me what they wanted and I wasn't paid for it, and I didn't know the guy either ... was hard to come up with anything. Made candles of royal icing, as well as the lettering and stars.

Daisy Cake

I made this as a thank you cake for my husband's work throwing us a baby shower. The daisies are royal icing.

Marbled Fondant Cake

The roses are gumpaste mixed with fondant.

Marissa's 1St Birthday

This was taken before writing Happy Birthday Marissa! on the cake. The little girl *loved* picking each lady bug off of her cake to carefully inspect then eat them. I made the ladybugs & flowers with royal icing.

Mom's Mother's Day Cake

Royal icing flowers draped over the side supported by toothpicks.

Suzy Zoo Duck

I hate character cakes. LOL

Dad's 50Th Birthday Chocolate Cake

Also borrowed from the Wilton's Wedding Cake book. Used mint dark chocolate for the leaves and scrolls, as well as the lacing on the top of hte cakes, painting the lacing and some scrolls nad leaves with antique gold luster dust.

Elijah's Chocolate Cake

Idea borrowed from a Wilton's wedding cake book and altered by using dark and light chocolate for the piping on the triangles.
