Cakes, cakes, cakes!

30th Birthday...of course. Would have looked MUCH better in fondant but the client really wanted buttercream.

Lizzy's 6th B-day

Malianna's Cake

Jacob's Dad's cake. It's a replica of his trailer that he loves

These are all the cakes that I've been busy with lately and have not posted.

First Fondant

So I had some problems with the icing that I chose to use instead of buttercream. It was too heavy and slippery. But with the mir

ical of refrigeration I got it to work for me. This is a 6 in topper cake and cupcakes. It is for out Activity Day recognition night tomorrow. I used ribbon fondant roses for the cupcakes. I think it turned out really good for my first try. Ill take pictures of the setup tomorrow at the activity. I definatly learned a lot about the fondant. It dries A LOT faster than I thought it would. And I need to use a little shortning when starting to make it last a little longer and not crack. Oh and you can really reuse scraps after the second or third time without a lot of cracking and tearing. Putting the white layer of fondant on the cake was easier than I thought. There is one fold in the back but its covered by the green ribbon. I would definatly be a little bolder with the green color but oh well. I am pleased with the turnout.

I thought this cupcake stand was really cute. The above link will give you directions on how to do it. It looks so easy. Beth and I were talking about this the other day and I thought that I would post it.

Shelley made this cake for my Birthday! Isn't it sooo cool! It looked and tasted just like the real thing! She knows me well (and my obsession with hostess cupcakes). I loved it! Thank you Shelley!
