A cake for some friends at thier BBQ. :)












I made this cake for my friends Shane and Margaret Ann, they threw a BBQ sat and I didnt want to show up empty handed. :) Whoever made the rule that buttercream icing works best with Fondant.....i must say i do not agree. Chocolate icing worked better! and boy this cake was wonderful!






Plain yellow cake with chocolate frosting and white chocolate shavings





I made this yellow cake for my brothers b-day. He wanted just a plain cake with chocolate but i had to add some flair to it with the white chocolate shavings.

Back up cake-After my failed attempt at what i really wanted to do.








So I had made this big elaborate 2 tier cake.........then it started to fall apart. So two tiers turned into one tier...and instead of music notes..............i resorted to basic cookie cutter square cutouts. Im not as pro as i thought i was. lol needless to say I am not proud of this cake, I am just documenting.

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)
