Yay for firsts!!!!

Alrighty so here's a little bit of an update. I recently started a little side business making cakes. I have my first "client" for this Saturday, and another cake for Sunday. Needless to say it's been a busy week. The cake on Saturday is for a welcome home party for a Seabee. So I wanted to include a little Seabee emblem in the design somehow. I came up with the idea to put the Seabee on the blue part of the American flag I am going to put on the cake. I decided to make the Seabee out of color flow, or a runny royal icing. I made one and it turned out okay, but it was really fragile on the bottom.

So Tyler came up with the plan to put the Seabee in a square of blue, to kind of make it a type of plaque.
I'll post the cake as soon as I finish it! Talk soon!

Hewo

Hello!!!!

So I just finished with my Course 4 class!!! It was a bittersweet end to such a fun journey. I took the class with the same instructor and same "classmates" as Course 1. I'm going to miss spending my Monday nights with these women!


Anywho, I thought I would post a picture or two....or three of some of the flowers we made. I am by no means an expert so they look a little poopy......haha

They are the first try for each so eh....I hope I'll get better the more I make them. So without further adieu......

There they are!!! I'll upload some more pictures later! Peace and love!

Crazy cakes. :)

Ok, so this will be my last post for today.

These two cakes were for my niece and nephew's birthdays. :) So much fun to make, turned out to be a hit. :)


First ever cake

This was the first cake I had ever made. Or I should say this is the first ever fondant cake I have made.

Most recent Cake


So, this cake was my final for my Wilton Course 2 class. So much fun!!!!
This is the most recent cake!
The cake itself was a yellow cake filled and covered with chocolate ganache. I then covered it with white fondant, and added my royal icing Wilton roses, and vines and royal icing rosebuds. Overall I think this cake came out the best. :)

Ganache recipe can be found here!!!!

Hello!!!

Ok, so I've decided that I'm going to start posting all my cakes, and recipes and other such things on a blog. I have fallen in love with cake decorating, and I am currently taking classes to better my skills. I will be posting pictures of the cakes I make, and fair warning, some of them are absolutely horrid. If you have any questions at all I will try to help in any way I can. Thanks so much!!!! Peace and love!
