Baking Fool

I made a gluten-free lego cake for a graduation party last night. This was a lot of work but I think it turned out pretty cute!

Three layers of chocolate candy all the way around. I need to find out what they thought of it!

They also asked for 100 cupcakes for the party too. These they wanted in the Earth Day theme so they are sprayed green and blue with chocolate globe candy on top.

In the book Hello, Cupcake I found some cute cupcakes so I mixed them together for this...Oreo sunflowers with a bunny bottom! I figure it'll make a cute centerpiece for our Buffalo food dinner tomorrow.

Cupcakes

My Flowers & Cake Design class is going well. I have the 3rd class tonight. I made these fondant bumblebees for my final cake for next week! You'll have to come back next week to see the final project.

I made these skateboarder cupcakes for a friend's little boy who is turning 7.

Sticks of gum with M&M's for wheels

I made these for Connor's school Easter party tomorrow...can't wait until they see them!

First Paying Job

We went to a neighbor's son's birthday party last night and she paid me to make the cake. It turned out really well AND it tasted good! I'm getting closer to being a reliable baker!

I started making some daisies for my final project in my Flowers & Cake Design class. I need some more daisies and some smaller ones. I think I'll frost the cake in yellow buttercream....of, course I may change my mind in 3 weeks too!

Flowers & Cake Design Class 1

So the 2nd class in the Wilton line of cake classes started this week. It's called Flowers and Cake design and one of the other moms from P-ville is taking with me! We made the fondant and gum paste button flowers last night. We also made some pansies, but they were ugly so I threw them away! (I'll post when I figure those out.) I need to practice all the flowers that we learned last night. We also learned how to make Royal Icing in order to make more flowers next week! I need to figure out what my final cake is going to look like! That may be the hardest part of the whole class!

I have my first "customer" this weekend! Another Mickey Mouse cake! She told me I should charge more...since I'm only charging her what it will cost me to make it in supplies, but what she doesn't realize is that I might flub it up and I don't want to charge her for a good cake if it's gonna be gross! Keep your fingers crossed!
