Candy Box

I was going through my pictures and came across this. Here is a Candy box I did when I was living and working in Arizona. The box is hand made of Almond Nougatine and filled with hand made truffles and prickly pear jellies.

The Cake Way

One of my students, Rachel, started her own blog called "The Cake Way" check it out.

I love seeing my students getting even more excited about what they are learning and I learn so much from them as well. She even did a minion cake. Fun, fun, fun.

Here is her cake from class.

A little baking, decorating, and enjoying music.

I know this isn't cake but sweets and good music always go together. :) I just found them and love their sound.

Wilton February Classes...

I have the  Wilton Class pages up dated for February. It was the fondant and gum paste class and the advanced gum paste flowers class.  I posted the pictures I have for them. Check out their beautiful work.

Happy Birthday Zoe!!! Zoe's Rapunzel birthday.

I know I haven't posted much for a while, so, I'm making up for it with a few more posts. :)

 

Rapunzel, Rapunzel let down your hair....

Here is my version of Rapunzel’s tower room. It's complete with painted walls, book shelf with a book she was reading and paint brushes on the table. There is even one on the floor where her "mother" painted the pointy fanged face. Of course she has to have her green friend Pascal as well.

Grandpa wanted me to go all out for his little Zoe, such a softy. The cake is French vanilla and iced with Italian butter cream. The back wall is done from a fondant/gum paste mix (for my students it is the 50/50 mix you learned about in class 3) the table and brushes, along with the rug, and even Pascal are all gum paste details. The floor is fondant and painted by hand.  All the details on the wall are hand painted as well.
Happy Birthday Zoe! :)

Brave Birthday

This was done for one of the nurses that come to check on my step-dad. Thank you ladies for all you do, you are amazing.

The cake is chocolate with a berry cream filling. The frosting is an almond butter cream. To do her hair I striped a piping bag with the two colors the darker I put in the bag first on the one side of the bag and then filled the other side with the lighter color. Instead of a boarder on top I piped her hair coming down over the edges. I used just a touch of gold luster dust that is eatable but does have real gold in it so it should be used sparingly on cakes that are going to be eaten. I just put it on the "H", the "B" and the bottom border.

I loved doing this cake it was so much fun.

Barbie cake
