drawing of the apple cake

This is the design I drew up for the apple cake. I thought I would show the design in its creative stages. That way everyone can see what I was going for and what I end up with.

Fondant Apples

This weeks cake is all about apples. This is my first stab at making some apples. I wanted not to use so much fondant and have five lbs. on top of the cake so...... I formed Rice Krispies into the shape then covered with fondant. Did a little painting to add depth. Going to be making a round apple crate( basket ) out of cake and then cover it with fondant and hope it turns out like the picture I drew.I saw the idea on line and thought I could make it work for the apple themed birthday party. Of course adding my own touch, Ideas and talent to the mix. I was scared of the apple theme at first , now I am loving what I want it to turn out looking like. Always praying they turn out. Keeping the fingers crossed and my hopes high. Stay tuned to see if this one comes out looking good or not.

little mermaid cake

Well ,this is what I came up with. Did not get started on this one till late. Over all I am sorta happy. Would have loved to have the little mermaid made out of gum paste look just like the Disney version, but what can ya do? Made characters out of gum paste and fondant. Cut out an oval out of white fondant and painted her picture on it and happy birthday to put on the side of the cake. I think my trunk was my best part. I thought it looked real cool. Here's hoping They like this one.

One bad day with cakes

This one has to be my worst. I waited to late to get started. I was not happy with my skull. my snake was to dark for top of cake... the Oreo cookie crumbles made it hard to do any decorating on top of the cake and my butter cream never would crust over. I cooked the cakes the same day they were put together, which then made them hard to stack and layer with fudge topping in between the layers. I wanted it to have many snakes crawling in and out at the bottom but, again I ran out of time. He only got a few snakes. Finally put it together and made it all work. Just thanking God this one was for my son. I do no think I could have sent this one out to any one paying for it. This one was a live and learn from your mistakes for sure.
