I haven't baked a cake in so long I felt so rusty. A friend at work asked me to make a baby shower cake for our friend so I made a simple 6 inch round cake with cupcakes. The hardest part was making the pregnant lady cake topper since I have never done one like this before. After watching some youtube videos I thought it came out pretty well for my first time. I had some issues with the hair being so fragile after it dried but it was ok. No one noticed except for me of course. :)
I saw so many cute photos on cake central of a bunny head first into a candy basket, I thought it was so cute I had to make it. My kids LOVED it. This cake was fun to make and very easy.
My friend requested cupcakes that had either blue or pink filling in the middle to tell everyone, including her what the sex of the baby was. I thought was an adorable idea. So I wrote, Am I a Girl or a Boy out of the cupcakes with a ton of other baby accents. The colors are baby green and yellow. I made lemon with lemon buttercream frosting, chocolate cupcakes with a marshmellow creme filling, and WASC with a almond buttercream. It was fun to make but very time consuming, I was up all night. LOL Overall very happy with the way they turned out and cannot wait to see the Mom's face.
I made this cake for a office bridal shower. The bride likes hippos so I found a pink hippo and placed it in one of the pictures and we got pink hippo cookies to match. lol
I saw these cupcakes on Cake Central so many times I had to try them myself, they are sooo cute.
My sister -n-law asked me to make a simple birthday cake for Jesus.
My daughter wanted a gymnastics birthday, so we had the party at her gym and the colors were red and yellow and at first I thought eww bad color combo but I actually liked the way it came out. I was very happy with it and so was she. I need to get better in my people decorating skills but hey this is my second figure I made and I thought for a second time, not so bad.
Just a lil present I made for my last Wilton cake class. The whole week was so crazy busy for me that I literally just put this together quickly in the class but I thought the colors came out cute. Its simple and I feel I am getting MUCH better at my fondant work, YAY! Practice Practice...that's what I have to keep doing.
Not the cutest cake I have made but one of my first so I had to add it.
This was my first basket weave. I did this in my wilton's cake class. Also the first time I ever used Royal Icing. It was fun!
I made these out of an idea from a book. I think they came out alright. The ears and nose are made from marshmallows.
I made this cake for a friend who wanted gold accents on a cake for her fathers 60th Birthday. This was my third time really working with fondant and I feel a lot better with the way the fondant came out on this one.
I made this cake for a co-worker who is turning 50. I was inspired by LisaMaecakes. I am still learning how to use fondant, I have a lot of trouble getting the bottom part super smooth. It was also my first time making a person. Its 3 (6 inch rounds).
I made this cake and cupcakes for my sister n laws year end school party. I tried to make the people out of royal icing and I think the icing wasnt hard enough because it was melting, so my other sister n law came over and while i was baking and icing all night she was making the people out of fondant! she was my lifesaver otherwise I would have been up all night. I made sunshine cupcakes to match the pool, it just went with the theme. =o)
I made this cake for my Wiltons Course 3 class, it was my first time using Fondant. I look on cake central to get some ideas and came up with this. It was fun! Don't mind the cotton balls, I left them there so the fondant could dry..lol.
I had this photo posted before and I meant to delete one and instead I deleted both....oh well! My sister-n -law and I tackled on this challenge and I cannot even believe we did it. The hands are actually glossy photo paper because the cookies that were made ended up falling apart. The rest is all cake except for the head, thats made out of a rice crispy treat. It was really fun to see Mickey come to life!
I was asked to do a wedding cake for a Hawaiian Theme and I thought ok I will give it a try, I didnt realize how hard it was going to be. I had a hard time with putting the 4th tier on so I took it off because it made it lean even with all the dowel rods and the big long dowel rod in the middle it still made it tilt. Im still learning!! I had such a hard time smoothing out the buttercream frosting, I wanted to die. It took me hours to get it ready. I could not believe how much cake I needed and eggs and frosting...I definitly had no clue!! At first I didnt have all these flowers all over it, I had flowers only on top and you can see every little flaw and I wasn't happy so my sister n law said Im coming over and she brought me a bunch of hawaiian flowers and I just put them on and I was very pleased with how my First Wedding Cake out.
I made this for my boyfriends birthday. I was looking for ideas and saw a cake someone made and she posted it on cake central and I like how she did the camoflauge on the side of the cake so I tried it. My boyfriend made fun of my camoflauge he said he wouldnt wear it hunting..lol Oh well I tried =o(
Nothing exciting, just a football! =o)
Just a few of my first time cakes I made. This one I did for my daughters 6th Birthday. Im still learning!
I took a cupcake Class at Michaels. Everyone at work seemed to love the little green guy.
Its kinda boring but during our Wiltons Course 1 we learned to do pattern transfer. I love going to this class because I am learning so many cool techniques. I cant wait to see what my cakes start to look like once I have gone through all the courses!
One of the first few cakes I made. I made this for my friends daughters birthday and she stayed with me and we were cracking up because she couldnt believe how long it took to ice a cake! I messed up and colored Minnie's arms pink like her dress and my friend said who cares she has long sleeves..lol
I made some bear cupcakes in my Wiltons Course 1 class and I thought they were cute and the cocoa buttercream icing is soooo yummy!
