Winnie The Pooh & Friends 1St Birthday
This is my 1st try at covering a cake with fondant, stacking & also making gum paste figures/accents. A great thanks to aine2 whose cake was my inspiration! I had lots of issues with this cake: Time was my # 1 enemy (had to wait until the kids were in bed), gum paste cracking, my cakes falling, rolling the fondant without dings and dents in it, but the worst problem was covering the cake board with the fondant.... Overall I am very pleased with this cake. Everything is edible and homemade & is for my DS!

Course 2 Cake - Buttercream With Royal Icing Flowers
I just finished this cake today in class. It's the 4th cake that I have ever decorated. While I was doing the basket weave I got talking with one of the other students and missed a horizontal stripe twice which ended up throwing off the ends where they meet up. I camouflaged that spot with more flowers:-) P.S. I loved doing this cake but I'm so exhausted from making the flowers into the wee hours of the night so the kids didn't come and nab them on me!! Thanks for looking!
