Cat Cake!

This one actually didn't take as long as I thought it would. I am really surprised that  it didn't take longer - it was only about 4 hours.  The hardest part was carving the cake to look like a cat - Quite challenging!! Its like anatomy class all over again!!

Two more Cakes!!

Here are two more cakes that I did over the weekend - Both were done in less than five hours! Fastest time yet I think!  One was decorated completely in buttercream icing and the other was made from cupcakes!!  Pool Balls - I seen the idea online - its so quick and easy to accomplish!

Flowers, flowers flowers...

My mom's 50th birthday is today, and yesterday we had a surprise party for her - she had no idea!!!  My sister and I made a garden cake! which consisted of lots and lots of pretty flowers.
Making flowers takes a lot of time and patience, but creating them to look like the real thing is really so much fun!  We spanned the flower making over the whole week - making some everyday this week - this cake totalling around 16 hours of work! Check it out!

Fondant Gerbera Daisies and My first 'Wedding Cake'!!!

the time leading up to this seemed to go by fast - now its done! I used 5 batches of cake batter - 3 tier cake, plus single slab.. a total of about 12 hours of work, including baking... and making over 20 Gerbera daisies.   Next time I will give myself a little more time to make the flowers - that part took forever!!  BUT in the end I think it turned out great, and the bride was happy!
