The Torturous Basket Weave!

 

I made this cake in my intermediate cake decorating class.  We created royal icing flowers the prior week to bring back and make our flower basket cake. I admit I was a little terrified of the thought of having to basket weave an entire cake.  To my surprise it was not as bad as I thought and I was pleased with the outcome.  The cake flavor was a Cinnamon Streusel filled with cream cheese and iced with butter cream frosting.

Showering Baby Lauren!

I made this cake for my sister-in-law's baby shower.  It was a 6" round red velvet cake covered in fondant.  I made the flowers using the Wilton flower cut-outs placing 4mm edible silver balls in the middle of each flower.  The cupcakes where chocolate cupcakes with cream cheese frosting topped with matching fondant flowers.

NiaCake's 1st Birthday

I had a Hello Kitty themed 1st Birthday Party for my younger daughter Nia back in February.  I decided to put my cake decorating skills to the test by making a 6" cake and about 75 cupcakes and mini cupcakes for her party.  I made a cupcake tower using foam board and cement glue trimming it with decorative ribbon as well as the toothpick cupcake toppers to match the theme.  The cupcake flavors were a strawberry cake with whipping cream,  chocolate sour cream cake with cream cheese frosting, and an almond butter cake with butter cream.

I'm so excited I could share my passion with other people near and dear to me.  Although I've been baking since I was a young child I have just recently learned the art of cake decorating.  Once I picked up that piping bag I haven't been able to put it down.  Please feel free to leave a comment or contact me via email if you have any questions about any of my posts.
