My Favorite cake

Ok, I know this cake kinda pushs the moral boundries, but I like this cake the most because it turned out just like the picture in the book. I made this for a friend at work, who also wanted this cake
I wasn't as happy with this cake. I ran out of time so I couldn't do a lot of the detail. Of course I do have an infant at home and I have to do my cakes when he is either sleeping or when my mom or husband can watch him enough to keep him happy. So these cakes were done from 10pm to 4am. So I have to say I did pretty good. Also these are the first cakes I have tried. A lot of these are my first tries, so if you notice mistakes, than my excuse will be "it's my first time."

And if any one is wondering, I will try to make any cake I can picture in my head or have a picture for. I don't think I can ship cakes, but if the price is right I will be willing to drive a reasonable distance to deliver it. Of course it has to be reasonable.

R2D2 cake

Ok, so this isn't the best R2D2 cake ever made, but I think it turned out fairly well, for my first try.

I made it for a friend's wife, who is also a friend. She loves Star Wars. I was going to do the Death Star, but I thought this would be funner. The cake it self is 2 6 inch rounds, all torted, with I believe just icing. The legs are rice crispy treats, which is also the first time I tried. The head is a half of a sports ball pan. The rest is fondant. It was fun to make, and I don't think I would mind doing another one. It isn't as good as Mark Joseph's R2D2, but I don't know if I will ever be that good. Here's his web site if your interested http://www.markjosephcakes.com/. I fell in love with his cake. I would love to meet him and find out how he does his cakes, but I'm sure he has had lots of practice and schooling.

If you're wondering why his head isn't on straight it is because I messed up and had to cover it with his leg, so it is a good thing his head can turn all the way around.

Thanks for looking.

first blog ever

Ok, so this is the first blog I have ever done. I don't even know if I'm doing it right, but I figure how can I get it wrong? So I have been making a lot of cakes lately. And I'm learning a lot, I didn't know how much there was so much to know about cakes. But I figured I should start posting pictures of them. So here the latest.

This is just a practice cake I did for my Wilton cake class, but I liked how it turned out. We were doing the sash one. I was so out of it all week I wasn't able to do any thing a head of time. So when I got to class all I had was my cakes crumb coated and my fondant colored. But turns out I still made everything and was done with my cake before the other girls in my class.

This cake is made from a weird butter flavor cake mix, but I didn't make it with butter, I used the normal oil and water with 4 eggs. The icing for the crumb coat is left over from a wedding where they wanted lemon flavor. But it was made from Sugar Shacks recipe, which was very good by the way. And the coloring is golden yellow for the fondant. And the cake was a 8in round and a 6 inch round.

Thanks for looking. I will try to get more pictures up soon.
