Fall Leaves Cake

  This cake was CURSED!!! There were 3 different attempts at baking this thing, and we FINALLY ended up with this. The cake even killed a bird!!!!  Well, sorta.
  It was supposed to be a 2 tier round cake, then it was going to have one square tier, one round tier. The finished product? 1 tier, 4 layer, Triple chocolate and French Vanilla layered cake. I learned a lot from making this one, and I'm pretty happy with the final product. I used fondant to cover the cake, then, using a cookie cutter, I made the leave impressions, piped those and used the embroidering effect on them. I LOVE this technique and can't wait to use it again... But next time I'll be using a bigger tip, and not a cookie cutter. I don't like the dents it left :(

Riley's 5th Birthday

My 5 is a little off center :( But Ri still loved it.

Blow out the candles!!!!!!

Basket Weave Cake for Class

This was a VERY fun cake. We saved flowers from all the classes for this one. Don't mind the bumble bee.... That was more for fun than an actual attempt. :/

Retro Bird for the side of the cake. This was Sara's idea that I snatched from her... Love it!

St Patricks Day Goodies!!

Lightly iced with green vanilla icing and topped with a little shamrock.

Also made a cake for my Dad to take to work. Should have put this on a better cake plate... But this was handy :)

And THESE are the heavily iced cupcakes with shamrocks on them as well!!!

Chocolate Mousse Cups

These are chocolate cups with chocolate mousse and white chocolate shavings on top.

So delicious :D

More flowers

Apple Blossoms... SO CUTE!!

I think it's a violet... Pretty sure

And the apple blossoms and violets ON the cake :) Kinda looks like a pond doesn't it?!

I really liked this cake. It was fun and I think these flowers are SO cute!

Learning Roses

I can't say this was my favorite cake from class, 'cause it sure wasn't, but it's alright....

We had the option of a shaped cake or a rainbow.  Valentines Day was coming up so how could i NOT choose to do a heart cake?!

When I first became interested in baking and decorating cakes I decided to take a cake class at the local craft store. So, Sara and I signed up and away we went! Here is the first cake I made for class. :)
