Cake class course 3 week 2 cake

So Monday I had my second class of course 3 it was way fun we learned how to make bows and ribbon and fun little decorations out of fondant. We also learned how to make roses out of fondant and they are pretty easy very time consuming but very pretty and I need to make 40 of them for my final class in 2 weeks. But this cake was fun and really easy it took maybe an hour to decorate. It is a confetti cake with peanut butter filling. Hope you guys like it.

Practice fake wedding cake

So this weekend I did a practice wedding cake for my friends wedding that is in a few weeks, and I am doing their cake. Well after doing this I decided to call and talk to them about changing it from a Topsy Turvy to just a normal round cake and they said ok that is fine, Thankfully because the Topsy Turvy is hard well not way hard but very time consuming and I don't have that much time with taking care of my little boy and plus with this being my first wedding cake, I want it to look really good and I was just very unhappy with how it was looking. Well this cake is not the decorations that will be on their wedding cake I mostly did this one to practice the shape and to find out how much stuff it would take to make it. Well let me know what you think of it.

Birthday/ & finale course 2 cake


Nightmare Before Christmas


So for my husbands birthday cake I made him a Nightmare Before Christmas cake out of fondant and butter cream frosting. Jack, Zero and the well are made of rice krispy treats covered in fondant. Zero was the hardest one to make I could not get the body right so it looked like he was a floating ghost but I think he ended up tunring out alright. This was a chocolate cake with chocolate moose filling. The funny thing is no one would eat it they all thought it was to cool to cut so my sister did cut and eat a piece then more of it got eaten but half got thrown away because it was left out and the filling went bad.

Course 2 final cake,




So this cake was fun as well, but the flowers took forever to do. You have to make royal Icing Flowers in advance so that they are hard and can just be put on the cake which makes decorating the cake faster that way. This cake was a chocolate with a butterscotch filling. For methis tasted lots better than Bryce's birthday cake.
