So here is the completed lily arrangement I did with leaves… The color is a touch darker than this (brighter here due to the flash):

And also my first attempt to make a hibiscus out of royal icing:

Cake for memorial day/me and hubby’s bday…

And this is before putting the star explosion in

I had a little bit of issues with the fondant but got the rest pretty good. Kind of just kept adding stuff until it looked “done” The cake is covered in fondant and decorated with buttercream. The flowers are royal icing petunias.

Present Cake ~ all fondant…

And here it is with just fondant prior to being decorated.

New royal icing flowers from course 2…

This cake I made for Mother’s Day. Two layer 8″ heart cake with strawberry jam filling & some of my royal icing pansies I had left over

Just started Wilton’s course 3 last week and made my first rose. Not perfect (should have rolled it out thinner I think) and it got a little smushed on the way home but here it is!

Also a few pics of my newest creation ~ the calla lily…

May 2007

This cake was one I made just for fun to play. The flowers are royal icing and rest is buttercream.

April 2007

This was the final project for course 2. The flowers are made from royal icing. Rest is buttercream.

April 2007

Basketweave with chocolate icing. Rope border on top and bottom. Green icing grass & malted egg candies inside. Handle was made with chocolate royal icing with a bent hanger as a “frame”.

Febrary 2007…
I started my official cake training in Feb. These were the 3 cakes made in this class. They were a lot of fun and I learned a lot. It was my first time doing roses.

Rainbow Cake

Clown Cake

Rose Cake

February 2007

Barbie cake pan ~ lots of pink icing and Wilton’s pink & white sparkle sugar. Roses are royal icing.

August 2006

Iced a 9×13 cake and did “grass” icing. Construced a Blue’s house replica out of a quartered square cake (used 3 pcs of it) and made the roof out of a carved off loaf shaped cake. Trees were chocolate melts.

August 2006

Did a 2 layer round cake, frosted with funfetti frosting and then traced a template of Blue’s face and decorated with buttercream and a star tip.

June 2006

Round cake cut to make 2 D’s and a square cake cut to make the A. Frosted and decorated with M-n-M’s.

February 2006

Cupcakes with blue frosting star tipped long. White melt chocolates for eyes with mini m-n-m’s on them and for the nose.

February 2006

Idea was from familyfun.com. The turrets are sugar cones coated in colored melted chocolate wafers and sprinkled with colored sugar crystals.

August 2005

I found this idea in a magazine and it was pretty simple overall.

February 2005

This was my biggest project yet – a Dora island palm tree cake! Again based off a Wilton cake but I added some Dora figurines I got at Walmart instead

April 2004

This cake was based off of Wilton’s Leisurely Lamb cake with a few modifications!

February 2004

This cake was made using Wilton’s Blue’s Clues cake pan. Nothing too fancy here but a great beginners project! The cup cakes are pretty basic – just used a star tip to make the paw prints.

I started this blog to have a good way to display pics of my cakes both as a record for myself and so others could see them as well. After this post will be a bunch of older cakes followed by current ones. You can see the obvious progression of talent I started cake decorating classes in Feb of 2007 and I’m currently taking them.

Enjoy…
