Wedding Cake!

This was the very first cake I ever made for someone's wedding! It was pretty stressful, but it tured out pretty well!

Final for Advanced Cake Decorating

Okay, so I know this took forever, but here is my cake final! It looks better in real life. All the shells are white chocolate (I molded them myself) and the sea stars are brown sugar. Enjoy!

Some Pastry Fun

Okay, so I haven't made any cake stuff lately, but one will come soon, and it's a doozy! In the meantime, here is a picture of my Pastry midterm!

Mock-Up for Wedding

This cake was made to be a mock-up of a wedding cake for my friend's wedding. It also served as a mid-term project for my Advanced Cake Decorating class.

Royal Icing

Hailspotting

Here are some pics of my latest skills, including lattice work, flooded monogramming, and hailspotting. Enjoy!

First Project of 2009!

Petite Fours! This was such a fun project for me, I really enjoyed it! And they tasted so good!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! I hope everyone had a fun year, and that you have many wonderful years ahead of you! I decided half-way through last semester that when I graduate this coming July, I am going to move to the east coast. Yes, it is far away from where my family lives, and I don't have a whole lot of connections on that coast, but I remember growing up in the Boston area (well, for as long as we were stationed there) as being one of the happiest times of my life, and, having recently visited the Boston area, realized that I still love the atmosphere of that area. So my mind is made up. I am going to try to find an apprenticeship at a cake bakery there, and move as soon as possible. That is part of the reason I have started this blog, to document the journey, and to build a portfolio of my cake decorating escapades. I hope I can do it all with a smile on my face, and keep a positive attitude through it all! Love Love me!
