A Birthday Surprise

I wanted to try my hand at Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes.  So I invited my grandchildren to help me out with the cupcakes for my granddaughters class at school.

Strawberry cupcakes with marshmallow layers covered by white chocolate and topped with dark chocolate and candy sprinkles.  Can you say HYPER!

The Theme for her skating party was "FAIRY TAILS"  I hadn't hear of it either so I went to Youtube and found it.  Japanese Anime and kinda cool.  So for her birthday party I did cupcakes and cake pops.

Edible Comic Book Invitation

The FairyTales Characters for the table

Her Cupcakes and Cake Pops

The kids loved them.  Yeah

Wedding Cakes Class

All of my work for the WEDDING CAKES class

I always have a million ideas running through my head.  Some work and some don't.  But I always try out the most interesting ones, you just never know until you try it.  I love things that are different and unusual.  They seem to work for me.  Traditional, stumps me every time.

 My final cake for Decorating II, Asian inspired wedding cake.  Love it.

Still need to work on the small details.  Love my topper and gelatin flowers.

Working on my midterm cake, the top half is coming along well.

I love adding the corset style back to the design

Ran out of time to complete this cake.  Just needed 30 minutes more to complete the lace tiers on bottom and smooth out the modeling chocolate on top and add the ribbon around the flowers.  Need to work on my time management skills.

Wedding Bouquet for cake

My First Wedding Cake for this 2014 Fall Semester.  I love wracking my brain for new and different designs.  Let's see how it comes out.

A friend called me and needed a last minute birthday cake for her 2 year old (the party was in 30 min.).  Fortunately I had some cake that I baked to work on for my class final.  Below is the result.

I already had some basic shapes cut out that I was playing around with.  I just covered the cake with grape flavored marshmallow fondant, added the shapes and used my cookie stamps.

 Since he loves Winnie and Tigger, I stamped their faces on the shapes, put the cake on a birthday boards, added Shawn's name to the board with the tappit and it's done.  Happy Birthday Shawn.

Our Advanced Pastry class recently opened a bakery at school. We've named it Morning Delights Bakery and have been having a blast  it is also a great experience. (especially getting to work at 6:00 am to start baking)

First project of 2014.  Australian String Art

What do you think?

Learning string art in class.  Need to work on bridgework. 

Ironman Cake

Ironman was suppose to be standing, but I accidentally broke his leg.  When my 3 year old customer saw it, he told me "Ironman should be laying down and maybe he will feel better for the party."  So I added an extra layer of buttercream so Ironman had a place to lay down.

Ironman is made with royal icing and the faces are fondant.  The cake is a layer of vanilla and a layer of chocolate, with chocolate cheesecake icing.

My last project this summer before going back to school is my mini high heels and purse topper.  This is my first so be kind.

I found a very simple way to make angel wings using comma or teardrop cutters.

My first Fairy Cake Topper.  I think she came out pretty good.

This was my first baby shower cake
