Todays cake was a cake designed for a child. I decided that I wanted to do a princess cake. I used two different colors of pink with accents of white to create the design. On this cake I got 19/20! YAY!
Todays cake was a sports theme cake. I chose football! The football was actually 3-D and I made the shaggy grass using the wilton grass tip. The design of the goal post, grass, and the sky were continued onto the sides of the cake. This cake got an 18/20 :)
Day 2: The Basket Weave
I thought I did an excellent job on the basket. We had limited time to do flowers, but if I could, I would add a lot more flowers to fill the basket. I loved the easter colors on this cake. It's a cute and fun idea!
This was my first cake from Basic Cake Decorating class! It received a 17/20. Not bad!
This is my best friends brothers birthday cake. His only requests were to be marble, red, and blue. I love how this cake turned out! The stripes look amazing and everyone loved it!
This Valentines day I got a cake ball order from my mom's boss. She wanted to send them off to her kids at college. I decided to get a little creative and dress them up a bit for Valentines day of course. I just used a simple yellow and chocolate cake and covered all the cake balls with light cocoa melting chocolate. I used a squirt bottle to make the swirls on top. I found this technique a lot easier than just the 'flicking the fork' method or a pastry bag. I found the bottles in the candy making isle at Hobby Lobby. I used pink colored chocolate (already colored) to drizzle on top. I put each cake ball in a small liner and fit as many in the tin as I could. She said they looked beautiful and would be easy to ship along with a few other things for her kids. I highly suggest using the tins if you want to ship cake balls in another box, they fit in there perfectly and have little room to slide around and break.
This cake my sister helped me make because I was very busy with school. So she baked it and then together we both decorated it. My uncles girlfriends daughter was having her 7th birthday. Ella loved princesses and decided to have a princess birthday party. I knew I wanted to put a huge sparkley princess crown on the top so I decided to go with light pink and light purple. I did a diamond pattern on the bottom to give it that puffy tucked look and also added shimmer dust to both tiers. I lined the bottom of each cake with a white woven ribbon and found little heart jewels that I attached to floral wire to come shooting out the sides along with some gum paste stars. I got great feedback on this cake that a lot of 7-year-olds loved it!
