Christmas-themed two-tier cake


This is my first attempt at a cake consisting of more than one tier! It is also my first cake make from scratch. I was nervous, but it turned out really well and my family seemed to enjoy it.

When I baked the cake, I had not decided yet what kind of cake I was going to make, so I chose to tint one layer purple (my favorite color) to see how it would turn out. I think red and green would look great if I make another Christmas cake.

Fondant birthday cake with stars







This is my final cake / a birthday cake I finished in the final night of my fondant cake class. I am very proud of this cake and it also tasted delicious! I would like to make another one similar to this with my checkerboard cake pan. I think that will look nice.

Fondant and gum paste flowers









I have been so busy lately that I have not had time to post what I have been doing in my cake class! These are the flowers that I made over the last three weeks. These were very fun to make and some of them were surprisingly very easy! I am considering making some cupcakes for springtime with the daisies! I will post those when I make them!
