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!

Fondant and gum paste bow

I started my third set of cake decorating class on Wednesday. In this class I will learn how to make a bunch of different types of fondant and gum paste flowers and how to put fondant on a cake! I am really excited. Last night I learned how to make this bow! I plan on saving it and putting it on my final cake in a few weeks. Or, I might make a blue or red one for my final cake. I have already been brainstorming how I want my final cake to look like, because I am considering making it a birthday cake, and I don't think he would be fond of a hot pink bow!

Halloween-themed cupcakes!

These are Halloween-themed cupcakes I made for two separate Halloween parties! The orange/white/yellow ones were candy corn themed, the black/orange/white ones were just basic Halloween themed, and the purple/green/black ones were monster themed!

Pink swirly cupcakes

Today I made these pink swirly cupcakes for a breast cancer awareness event. I don't usually ice cupcakes this way, but since I learned how to do it in my cake decorating class, I decided to try it with these cupcakes. I think it turned out pretty well! The cupcakes themselves are strawberry, so as to continue with the pink theme. :o)

Roses, apple blossoms, rose buds, and primroses

I learned how to make roses, apple blossoms, rose buds, and primroses in my cake decorating class tonight! I plan to practice making more of them in the coming week. There are only two weeks left in this class, then I can either take one week off, and then start the fondant classes, or I can take the one-week class in between class #2 and class #3 and take the Tall Cakes class, where I learn how to make a three tier cake! I am still debating on if I want to take that class or not. It might be fun!
