First Angel Food cake!

Ah, I must admit.....this tasted amazing!!!


Took a fridge pic for better lighting. (glamour shot) This will have to do until i get a light box.





Sugared strawberry goodness!

Side View.

Yes. That is a shot glass filling in that hole so we could set a strawberry on top of it. :)

Glued the melted and hand cut white chocolate walls to the cake with buttercream icing (that stuff is like glue!)


The cake on the left was a FAIL....my boyfriend went and bought more eggs and we tried again, that worked really well the second time! We did not airate it long enough the first time.
Folding the mixture with a sifted mix of flour and confectioners sugar.

My First try at Fondant












I made marshmallow fondant with a recipe that i found from here: http://whatscookingamerica.net/PegW/Fondant.htm (this site is amazing!) I watched a few hours if youtube videos and brainwashed myself to be good at this....not bad for my first attepmt! the cake was a little lumpy because i iced it waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to much....but the sweeter the better right? I made this for the 4th of July for the awesome people I work with. :)

Old cakes that Ive made...





Getting Grey icing is a pain in the ass, especially since I didnt know what I was doing...hahaha my friend Thao made into a raidology program so I made her an X-Ray cake. (2008)
The heart was for my bud Shanon back in 2007 for her bday :) I used a silicone heart and lots of food coloring which I managed to spill all over my moms kitchen counter and floor. fun times. (2007)
