final(ly)

The final for my intermediate cake class was a wedding cake. Despite a few snags (including, but not limited to: sickness, cake cracks, flowers breaking a half hour before class, a lop-sided bottom layer, running out of frosting, and completely re-doing my nosegay at the last minute), I think it came out quite well.


(I didn't have time to make a mini-nosegay for the bottom tier, sadly)


(The nosegay--I made the mums & apple blossoms myself)

lady in red

For my co-worker's birthday (who happens to love red)... a carrot cake with real cream cheese frosting.

for a bachelorette party

a friend saw the idea online and asked me to make it for her...

(thank you Ateco tip 133 for all of that lovely grass...)

my final cake

(the last cake for my beginner's decorating class)

red velvet, if you please

(or if you're patriotic, apparently)




(my idea to make "stripes" didn't work out so well...)

damien rice cake

I have a friend who loves Damien Rice, so I thought I'd make her an extra-personalized cake to celebrate.

[see inspiration]











it would have been much punnier (though impossible to cut) as an actual rice cake, but i thought funfetti was far more fitting (and more delicious)

i decorated this little lady on my lunch break...

well, minus making the flowers, anyway...




(the sides were basketweave, but not my best work...)
