Cade's birthday cake


I recently made Cade's birthday cake--Backyardigans theme.



The vignettes I painted of each of the Backyardigans I did purely for fun.

This is what Kim asked for when she asked for a birthday cake. I turned out well, and I received many complements on it.

I bet you wish you went to our church.


Sue made some Easter cakes for church today.

She worked all day Saturday on them (after we saw Horton Hears a Who. that is).

Which one do you think will be eaten first?

Happy Easter!

More Cake Class


In this latest cake class, we're working a lot with fondant. Here is a rose I made out of fondant. They won't taste good, but they look pretty, and there will be a lot of them on my next cake in two weeks (I have homework for cake class--maybe I should act like Ryley when he has to do homework and whine a lot about how homework is so boring, then make 10 flowers, then play lego starwars for 10 minutes, then make 10 flowers, then play lego starwars for 10 minutes, then make 10 flowers, then...)

This cake went in today to Doug's work (as usual--I want to make the cakes, not eat them). I'm not sure if it tasted good--it was yellow cake with some apricot pastry & cake filling I found in the baking section at Wal-mart, and then fondant which normally doesn't taste good, but my instructor put some pina colada flavoring in it, and I'm not sure if that made it better or worse.

I was supposed to put a bead border made of the usual frosting, but I was too lazy to make frosting just for the border, so the cake had to go to Doug's work unfinished. I'm hoping no one minded ;-)

Cake Class Course 2




This is the cake I made from my 2nd cake decorating course, which was all about flowers made from royal icing. My daffodils, daisies, pansies and apple blossoms turned out really well, I felt. I had cake icing problems, and so I covered up my crumb-y icing job with way too many flowers on the top. Not very artistic in the number/placement of the flowers, but I was way proud of my nice-looking flowers and wanted to show them off somehow. Course 3 (of 4) starts tomorrow....

My cake class


This is my cake before I started decorating it. It is not a perfect circle because Josie was picking off and eating little bits of the edge before I got around to icing it.

Partway through.

Me, in class.

The (almost) finished product.

My friend Kim, who is taking the class with me.
