First Communion - April 2010 (**FAVORITE**)

This is my FAVORITE cake so far!!! I love how it turned out AND I learned a new recipe. Instead of fondant, I used piping gel. I never knew you could make your own and it was so easy! The cake is golden butter with buttercream icing. The cross is fondant with a pearl glaze.

First Communion Cake - April 2010

This was another very special and fun cake to make. This was a special celebration for 5 kids who were celebrating their first communion. All 5 kids have known each other since they were 3yrs old. I had to make the cake large enough to not only feed everyone but incorporate all 5 kids' names. We also wanted to add the special verse and cross. It was made of Golden butter cake, buttercream icing and marshmallow fondant. The page with the verse was a seperate page that was to be removed and not eaten as I had to write on the fondant with a regular ink pen. The sides of the Bible were painted with a Gold dust (edible).

Polka-Dot Baby Shower Cake - April 2010

Here is a polka-dot baby shower cake that was quite interesting. I was shown a plastic tumbler with polka dots and asked to match it. This is what I came up with. The pink trim was satin ribbon and the topper was made of two ribbons. The cake was made of golden butter cake, buttercream icing and marshmallow fondant.
