Made this for instructors Christmas party - 1 great staff to work with, 2 jazz hands, 3 exertubes, 4 jazz squares, 5 microphones, 6 exercise balls, 7 new ipods, 8 comfy mats, 9 sets of weights, 10 membership cards, 11 water bottles, 12 shopping bags (our current customer giveaway) - I was happy with how most of the squares turned ou!
Thanks to another CC member whom I adapted this idea from (don't know who it was). This is probably my best cake so far outside of class & the design is fairly easy, although the cornelli lace is time-consuming.
I have a big cake coming up with cornelli sides & top border so I'm getting practice in. I think the bronw on white looks a lot better than my posted oval cake with white on brown.
Customer said she wanted lots of flowers -- this was a 6" 2 layer round cake. My fav. part is the border. I piped star flowers around the bottom & alternated a royal icing flower on top of every other one.
I used cornelli lace & beading for the border - also beading around the couples' names on the top of the cake. Afterwards my husband commented that the color scheme resembled a football, so next time I'll use different colors.
I had started the class & dropped out so I didn't have the bird-making supplies the second time & my teacher didn't make me re-buy those. The first time almost caused me to quit making cakes, but it got better after I bought a Kitchen-Aid (I had been using a 20+ yr. old Sunbeam). :-)
At the start of Class 1 I couldn't even bake a cake! I learned a lot!
Made this cake for friend's bachelor party (It was one of my earlier cakes so has crumbs & such). I used wedding ring party favors to link together for the chain. The guys all loved it!
I got this idea from the Wilton School Decorating Cakes book p.25. I used artificial flowers for the accents. This was my first 1/2 sheet cake - the icing cracked across the top after I was done with the cake & I'm not sure why. Any ideas?
Made this cake from idea in Wilton book. This was my first time doing basketweave on a flat surface (as opposed to side of cake) but it wasn't as hard as I thought. The flowers are royal icing
Made this for a 4th of July Birthday - customer wanted red, white & blue, but I wanted something nice so did the basket. Buttercream icing with royal icing flowers. Used Wilton oval cake pan from Class 2, 2 layers.
