Happy Mother's Day!

This is a cake I made for my best friend for her mother-in-law.  Completely covered in fondant.  The petals I cut-out and then used a leaf impression mat to get the veined look on them.  This was a fun cake to make!

Final Cake in Wilton's Cake Course 3

So this is a stacked fondant covered cake.  I made the marshmallow fondant, so much cheaper and actually quite easy!  The roses are also made of fondant and took about 7 hours to make.  Kid you not.  This cake was time consuming, but I love the outcome!  Enjoy!  :)

Fondant Present Cake

So this is a cake I had to make for course 3, it's not the final cake.  I made the fondant myself, it's marshmallow fondant and it's super easy to make.  If you want the recipe for this fondant click HERE.

Another Take on the Chocolate Pudding/Whip Cream Cake

Same cake as the one I made for my husband's birthday, but this time I made the icing look more whipped, which I think looks better!

Final Cake in Wilton's Cake Course 2

So here is my final cake.  Basket weave design with tons of royal icing flowers.  I also painted the flowers with pearl dust to make them sparkle.  This cake probably took a total of two days to make.  Lots of work!

Happy Easter!

A little late, but here are my Easter decorated cookies!

Decorated Sugar Cookies

My first attempt at decorating a cookie with royal icing.  First I outlined in white, with tip 4.  Then I watered down the purple until it was school glue consistency.  Then I flooded the cookie using the same size tip, might have been tip 3 though.  Once dry to the touch I flooded the centre with yellow and immediately put sprinkles on it.  This was really fun to make!  Really enjoyed it! :)
