Rose Cake

This was a project for a class I just finished taking.  This cake has over 40 roses and 40 leaves! 

Christmas Cookie Bouquets

It was a busy last week of school.  Trying to make enough cookie bouquets for all of the teacher's, teacher helpers and a few others for friends!  I hope everyone had a great Christmas.

An 8 year old girl's birthday...

This was for an 8 year old's birthday - they requested that I do whatever I like for the cake and just utilize her favorite colors (blue and green).   This was my first attempt at a pillow cake and tiara.  The square shaped pillow was a pretty run of the mill attempt...however, trying to make the round cake look like a pillow and hold a shape was far more challenging than anticipated!!  Nonetheless, the 8 year old was very happy with the result and even ate the crown :)

A 7 year old girl's Birthday!

I made this cake for a friend's beautiful daughter.  I tried a new recipe for "White Chocolate Fondant".  It was harder to work with and roll out but it tastes much better.  Oh well, practice makes perfect (I hope)
 :)

Happy Halloween!!

Here are some cookies I made for the neighbors.  I enjoyed the "gross factor", but also thought they were a pretty good Halloween treat...some people thought they were too creepy to eat. 

Fall Festival 2009

I created this cake to for my son's school Fall Festival. It was fun to make and, I think, captures the essence of Fall!

Halloween theme cake.

This was a cake that I made so that I could practice with sculpting technique.  All of the pieces are edible.  I made the fondant for the cake from scratch and it was a bit softer than it should have been. I also realize some of the things I should have done in different order, but I will know for next time!  Seriously people, I need volunteers to eat these cakes (aside from my kids).
