Owl Cake

I was originally going to do this for my final cake for class but I got too antsy.

It turned out so good! The pictures dont do it justice. Pumpkin spice cake (from scratch!) and homemade cream cheese buttercream frosting. The frozen buttercream transfer was so fun to do. I will be doing a lot more in the future. :)

Cupcake Pops

Found this recipe from http://www.bakerella.com/   :)

I watch You Tube videos all the time online to learn new ways of decorating. Besides the 3 cake classes I have taken., You Tube is pretty much my source for being taught new things.

I think Im going to try a "Frozen Buttercream Transfer" for my final cake next week. Here is an outline of what picture Im going to use. Also in the post below, theres a "how-to" video on how to do a frozen buttercream transfer. Im going with a Fall theme and thought this cute little Owl would be perfect. The cake will be pumpkin spice.

Wilton Basic Cake Decorating Class #3

Tonight we learned how to make Pom Pom flowers and Shaggy Mums. My shaggy mums turned out looking like bright orange hay stacks but my blue pom pom flowers turned out pretty good. :)

Next week will be the final class in the 1st course. We get to make our final cake and its gotta be good! Im going to take some time over the next fews days to design how I want it to look.

Anyway, here are a couple pictures of my pom pom flower cupcake. :)

Happy Birthday Braden! 12 years old...

This is the "Alien Cake". Bright green fondant with buttercream details. Cherry chip cake with vanilla buttercream filling.

Adam made the little balls that go around the bottom. :)

Kathis birthday cake.....

I finally got to do a more "elegant" styled cake. I really want to do a 3-tiered wedding cake like this someday. Maybe once I get better at the piping. I think I could spend an entire day piping these squiggles onto cakes!

Wilton Cake Decorating Basics Class #2

I was so excited for this cake. It was lemon with raspberry filling. The design was the Wilton cupcake transfer that eveyone in class had to use. It was mainly to practice different frosting techniques.

Anyway - disaster! It may look cute on the outside but once I got it home (which might I add, driving a stick shift while trying to balance a cake is NOT easy!)....anyway - once I got home and cut it open I found a mooshy raspberry soaked cake. I was not happy. Lesson learned....don't overstuff. All in all - it was good practice.

The Rainbow Cake!

This was a fun cake to make. It was also my first batch of buttercream frosting I ever made. Mmm Mmm Good!
