Cakes by Steph

I am happy to announce that the Cakes by Steph blog has been moved to its own domain!  The new location of all of my cake creations will be:

A Sweet Cake

I will also be adding tutorials, how-to’s, recipes and more in the near future.  I’d love to hear your feedback on what you’d like to see!  Check it out and let me know how you like the new design.  I’m still tweaking things to make it more user friendly and adding info but all of the old cake blog posts are there – plus some new ones!

Hope to see you there!

These cupcakes went along with the little boy with the lego cake…these were for a party with friends.  Cupcakes had buttercream icing and gumpaste light sabers.

For June birthday’s at my husband’s work I created a variety of flavored cupcakes.  On the menu were:

* Vanilla Cupcakes with Vanilla Frosting and Chocolate-Marshmallow Filling
* Lime Cupcakes with Coconut frosting and toasted coconut
* Chocolate Cupcakes dipped in Chocolate Ganache and topped with Mint Frosting and a chocolate leaf

This was the cake made last night in my fondant/gumpaste class. We worked with a few different fondant techniques & tools. I made it look the best I could with the things we were trying! And we made our carnations so I stuck one on top…

Just started Wilton’s Fondant & Gumpaste course. First class we made a marbled, fondant covered cake board. We also made a gumpaste/fondant blend favor box.

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…
