Wilton Cake Class Course 3

This class had 2 cakes


This one is our first fondant covered cake



This one had to be fondant covered and 2 tier. It was November so I went with a fall theme. Plus I learned how to make chocolate fondant (it tastes like a tootsie roll). I also learned NOT to use Marshmallow creme. It makes a very soft fondant, that breaks very easy. But I managed, I had made my leaves out of it and some were breaking, but you can't tell.
This is Serina's cake. I had to post it, because it came out super cute. I'd love to make this cake sometime :)
Made November 2008

Wilton Cake Class Course 1

I don't like these, but I have to post them. They are the cakes you do in course 1.

This one is using a cookie cutter to imprint a shape on the cake and then using a random tip to fill it in.


This one was ugly, the colors are too bright and there were so many flowers, but they were the flower we'd learned to make.



This one isn't too bad. A simple cake with roses on top


All of these cakes were made in April of 2007

This was Teresa's birthday cake

After it started to fall...



And our solution to a falling cake


It says "TDH & M detective Agency: The Birthday Mystery"

Thomas The Tank Engine and Sir Topham Hatt Cake



This one was fun making because Nathan requested a Choo-Choo cake months ago. It wasn't easy though. The 3-D cakes are much more difficult than a round or sheet cake. I know, duh, obviously they are more difficult. I just haven't mastered them. At least this one didn't try and fall :)
