Wedding shower Cake

Wish they didn't want the tips of the roses darker...I think it would have been prettier solid and roses done in gum paste. These where done in royal icing, leaves out of fondant with a mold. Was trying to get her china pattern to go around the cake but in the color pink. Hoping the little tiny edible pearls attached to the side do not fall off. Made big pearls by rolling fondant into balls then brushing with pearl shimmer dust. Why do I always feel like every cake I do is terrible when I am finished, then in the morning I am happier. I need to stop being so critical over my work. Most people get that it is icing and sugar. I am not in some cake challenge.

I just wish I was as good as the pros'

Alabama Cake

Alabama cake would have been so easy if I had not had the mess up with Vic and the oven. Remade big Al and the emblem while making the other Alabama cake. Finished them both up and now I am exhausted. Poor Larry's cake Just had to get thrown together. Let my daughter do the polka dots and made a fast little big AL face for the middle............hey its for free how can he complain. He will be thankful he got a cake.

Mater Cake

Mater cake, Oh my. I want to scrap the whole thing and start over, But I am already behind as it is. I have two other cakes I have to do and this one is due tomorrow. Hoping I like it in the morning when I am not so tired. I was really wanting to impress and wow with this one. I am going to have to settle with It's better than a grocery store cake. Stressed any way, one of the cakes I am doing this weekend is another Alabama cake. I had made big AL the elephant and had him air drying in my oven to keep him protected. Well, my husband decided to make muffins when I took the kids to school. I lost big Al and the hand painted emblems. Not to mention the Styrofoam board and a good cutting board. Well I spent yesterday cleaning a burnt on mess in the oven and the black soot on every thing else. So today I tried to get caught up. I only got this cake finished. Hoping tomorrow I can get this one delivered and start on the other two when I wake up with energy. ( please let me wake up with energy )))). We are expecting snow tomorrow. If I worked all night to get this done and I don't get to deliver it............ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! good night

Apple crate cake

Apple crate cake. I know what your thinking " Hey, you have shown this one before" Wrong!! I got my chance at making this one again. This one was for a man that grows and sells his own apples. Can not wait to find out if he loved it or not. The person that requested it loved it and I guess that is good enough for now. I added more color to the leaves this time and added some leaves to the little flowers on the side. Thinking this one looks better than the first try at it. Took me all day to accomplish this one but, I was real happy with it.Well there is always something I wished I could have done better but....... If I am ever asked to this one again, I think I will have it down pat. Next week not sure what I am going to do. I had one of this weekend cakes moved to next weekend where I already have two cakes I am doing... Might be some late night decorating going on this week. Will be glad to get this mater cake out of my hair. I am tired of thinking, worrying, and planning it........let's hope she does not move it back any more.
