The Latest...

My husband had a birthday this month! He kept telling me that he didn't want cake for his birthday. But I had this cake in mind since the day I saw it on kevinandamanda.com so i just had to make it for him. He LOVES Reese's. So I did it for him anyway. He actually LOVED it! I just covered the whole cake in Reese's, made a the best chocolate cake ever recipe from Kevin and Amanda's site then make her buttercream recipe with a 1/4 of a cup of smooth peanut butter mixed in. Yummy!

Then on Wednesday my friend Leeann turned 19. She asked me to make her birthday cake. She said she wanted purple and yellow and the design was up to me.

This is a white cake with cream cheese filling. Buttercream frosting and the dots, bow, '19' & banner are fondant.

Leeann!

Fondant & Gum Paste

On Saturday I went to the first half of my fondant & gum paste class. We learned a whole bunch of new techniques like how to make carnations, daises and fantasy flowers out of fondant. We also got a new embosser tool in out kit, and a new rolling cutter. They are so nice to have! Then we also learned draping. I LOVE draping, I have seen some gorgeously draped wedding cakes that I love! Draping fondant can be tricky, but I think I did alright for my first time. I'll definitely have to practice. For some reason I can't get this picture to turn, but i put some white pearl dust on my drape to give it a sparkle.

This cake is simple, but I think it is elegant. I had fun doing it :)

This week I have 3 birthday cakes to make! My dad's birthday is tomorrow (His cake will be delicious-in more than one way!) My Mother-in-laws birthday is on Friday (Her cake will be her favorite hobby!) and My sister's best friends daughter, Emma's birthday is on Saturday (Hers is going to be adorable!)

It may take me until the first of next week to get pictures posted, because I'll be so busy, but stay tuned and check them out!
