Brief update

My little sister came to visit me in December for her birthday and I promised her one of my cakes. So while hanging out I worked on this thing for her. She loves bright colors and so I went a little bold.

Vanilla cake with a Bavarian creme filling, iced in buttercream, and covered in vanilla fondant. I put some fondant and gumpaste candles on there with bright colored flowers.

It was cute and colorful and she really liked it.



So it looks like I forgot to post some of my recent cakes. Well Halloween is my absolute favorite holiday so i really wanted to do a big fancy Halloween cake, but my schedule was way too full. So i did this little one tier cake for us at home. Fondant bats and ghosts fly around with purple swirls. The board is covered in black fondant cobblestone, just to play with some texture. The cake was a dark chocolate cake with orange cream cheese frosting. So yummy.


More updates in the future! I've got a double birthday cake that I'm waiting on pictures and a valentine's cake, and a another birthday cake in February. Not much left for January but for me to replenish some of my supplies and I'm looking forward to taking another class with my mom...as soon as our local cake store puts out a class schedule.
