this cake was a new challenge...covering a cake in fondant :) turns out, fondant is kind of a pain, but it looks really great...it just doesn't taste the greatest! i made this cake during the fall of 2007, so i made it an autumn theme. there are red, orange & yellow leaves, and a big brown bow!
in this cake i used the basket weave technique. along with the "basket weave" sides, i got to make flowers and doves out of royal icing. the flowers are apple blossoms, daisies, victorian roses, daffodils, mums and violets.
the next cake was the roses cake. they were pretty easy to make, but took a long time!
in 2007 i decided to take cake decorating classes at the michael's in rockwall, tx. one of our first cakes was this clown cake! i don't really care for clowns, but we had to make it. it gives me the creeps!
for the past few years i have been doing a lot of baking. i really enjoy baking and creating new desserts...i also enjoy eating them! i wanted to put all of my pictures together from the past and also any new creations i make. i thought a blog would be a good way to do this...so we will see how this goes.
