Cake Montage

So here is a list an pictures of all the cakes I've made up to date. All kinds of different stuff. Enjoy!

This is the cake that I made for Grant and I for our 3 year anniversary. It was a white cake and I filled with with chocolate buttercream icing and also iced it with chocolate butercream icing. Now the pink icing has a hint of strawberry flavor :).



Another rice krispie cake. This time I had learned to use gum paste and fondant. So the pansies are made from the combonation of both. For the hearts I used a 50/50 gum paste and fondant mixture and rolled it out thin and used my cookie cutter. It looked great. Sadly it tasted horrible cuz I made the rice krisipie squares wrong lol. For some reason I thought it would be a good idea (actually I wasn't thinking at all) to put the rice krispies in the microwave while I was melting the marshmallows. haha.

So technically my sister-in-law Yumiko made the brownies but we both made the fondant/gum paste butterflies. I have this tin of tiny butterfly cookie cutters. And after we cut them out we stuck them in the small flower former and it looked like they were flying! They took like two to three days to dry completely but I thought they looked amazing!!! And super easy!

Ah, bridal shower cupcakes. Love decorating cupcakes with the big tip and the swirl. They look so professional haha. Anyways, I used chocolate buttercream icing. (kinda my favourite I think). I usually add rum flavour to my chocolate icing. The flowers are a fondant/gum paste mixture. And I used the flower press that came with my kit. I really like how they turned out! And they look so good!

Made this cake for a client at work. Once again chocolate buttercream icing (lol I'm noticing a pattern...) Now I kinda punked the idea to put cupcakes on top of the cake from Cake Boss. I just thought it was a neat idea to do a cake for a male. Cuz I mean flowers and basketweave just aren't really a guy thing. For the stars I use the 50/50 mixture like usual. I also used my star cookie cutter. I think it turned out really well. It was a chocolate cake, filled with chocolate pudding and covered in chocolate icing. My fellow workers told me it was amazing lol. (how could it not be with so much chocolate!!

Well I hope you enjoyed my "montage" of cakes. I will be posting more individual cakes as I make them. Oh yeah and crochet items every once in a while... lol

Cake Decorating

Well I know I said that this would be a crochet blog, but recently I've been taking cake decorating classes at my local Michael's store. It's been fantastic!! And I really enjoy making cakes!! So my first class was all about how to use icing, how to make it, how to ice a cake, etc etc. And this cake is the final for that class.

I really enjoy making the ribbon flowers! So much fun!! Also, I really like making chocolate butter cream icing. Super yummy!!

The other thing I really enjoy doing is making rice krispie square "cakes" and decorating them. TONS of fun!!!

Let me tell you, it was yummy! I also made these two at the same time for my roomates.

So in the future expect some more cake decorating pictures splattered with some crocheted items. Can't help it, cake decorating is my newest thing! :)
