Mallory's 12th Birthday

 

 

 

These are from Mallory's 12th Birthday on April 29, 2012.  She had a monkey-themed party, so we did a monkey cake and monkey cupcakes.  For her Birthday Breakfast, she chose a white cake garnished with strawberries.

Lindsey's 10th Birthday Cake

 

 

We celebrated TEN years of Lindsey in February 2012.  She loves to sing and wanted a microphone cake.  It's all buttercream frosting except for the end of the microphone, which is a ball of marshmallow fondant.  Turned out pretty nice!  Thanks for helping Mom (and Mallory).

Mom's Final Cake Class #3

The previous post was my final cake in class #3. This is Mom's final cake in class #3. I love how she used the loopy bow too and made ribbons and bows. This cake looks like a gift! Great job Mom!

Wilton Class Final Cake #3

Mom & I finished Wilton Class #3 in December and here's my final cake. It was completely wrapped in marshmallow fondant with a twisted fondant ribbon around the bottom and a fondant bow on top! I've always wanted to learn how to make those loopy bows. In this class, we also learned how to make many flowers out of gum paste and fondant.

Wilton Class #2 Final Cake

This was my final cake from last night's final Wilton Class #2. I have learned so much in both the first and second classes. This class was all about flowers! We learned: roses (on this cake), lilies, violets, apple blossoms, daisies, pansies, and then finally this basketweave design that I put on the side of my cake. Definitely a challenging class, but fun! This cake is very yummy, we're working on finishing it off now. Chocolate inside and out!

Flowers

Here are a few flowers from the Wilton #2 class that I'm taking. Practice, practice, practice...

Mom & I are still learning!

Those button looking flowers you see - I made those on the first night of our second Wilton Class. The first class was all about decorating and frosting the cake with a flower or two at the end of the last class. This class is ALL flowers. Wow, it's exhausting. The next flowers are pansies. One of our Girl Scout leaders is taking the class with Mom and me. During one of our classes, we decided to put all our flowers from that night on a cake for the other Girl Scout leader - it was her birthday the next day and we were having a meeting at Jackson's Orchard, so we put our new flower skills to good use on a pretty cake for a good friend :) By the way, these flowers were made with fondant, which has no taste, but looks pretty.
