So, since my last blog I've made a few more cakes and I wanted to share them with you!
I've been dabbling in the fondant realm! I'm still learning, but I think I've done well for my first couple of tries. I'm making another cake this weekend and one next week. The cake next week will focus on my icing skills, which need some work as well. Have done any piping in years. We'll see how that goes!
The first cake I did was a purse cake! It came out pretty well!
I used luster over the fondant which I'm still getting the hang of. It was a lemon supreme cake with lemon icing.
The next cake was a wrench wrapped around a pipe. I'm glad I got pics before because when we took it to the restaurant for our friend birthday the waitress messed it up :-( I was not a happy camper.
Once again I used the luster and I bought a bigger paint brush and I think it came out better. I did a matte finish on the pipe. This cake was a cinnamon swirl cake with cinnamon bun icing and the pipe is made with cinnamon rice Krispy treat. If you have never made cinnamon rice krispy treats be forewarned they're amazingly addicting!
The latest cake I made last weekend was a pineapple upside down cake. A coworker of a friend asked if I could make one then cancelled. I'd never made one before so I accepted the challenge and made one anyway. It was a big hit!
I added a little twist though. I ground up walnuts and sprinkled them on the top of the cake batter before baking them. So when I flipped it over, the was a nutty crust on the bottom. Everyone loved it!
And that's all the cakes for now! Once I finish up the cake for this weekend I will post pics!
See you all later!
