I also did a wedding cake for the end of February. The colors were white and lime green. At first I was wondering how it would all come together but in the end I loved it. 

I wanted to keep it simple and clean. This was a vanilla cake with strawberry filling.

Happy Thanksgiving!
What better way to celebrate the holidays then with a festive cake. 

This is a double chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream frosting.

I did a really last minute de los muertos cake for a couple celebrating their court wedding. They were pleased, hopefully I can do their actual wedding too. Fingers crossed. :) 

Here are some vanilla cupcakes with vanilla buttercream topped with fondant designs. 

The vibrant colored designs were created for a co-worker's 26th birthday.  

I got asked to do a mexican themed birthday cake with a skull. I was super excited in an odd way for this one. A couple of months back I discovered sugar skulls and wanted to try them out but of course knowing me I waited till I got asked to do a skull for a cake. It was surprisingly easy but it did test my patience during the drying process. I have no patience for drying whether it be sugar, fondant or gum paste. To my surprise it was quite heavy and I did have to hollow it out 1) so it could dry quicker and 2) so it wouldn't be quite so heavy. I made the sombrero and flowers out of fondant which had to dry for 2 days. (Patience was running low at this point.) The design was drawn out for me so I followed the design given to me. I added the 2 skeleton toppers just for that extra flair. 

This cake got me excited for Dia De Los Muertos! ^_^

I had tons of fun working on this cake. This was for my cousin, Dina who turned 21.

All edible. 

This was my first time every playing with isomalt. This has been something I have been wanting to do for a very long time, and at the cake show I recently went to they had hands on demos. I was super excited for this!

 I got to blow sugar! I ended up making 2 blown sugar balls and the first one broke while I put it in my box to take home and the second one broke on the way home. I was upset but glad I got to experience it! As for my flower it did take some technique but I got it. The isomalt wasn't as hot as I though it was gong to be when working with it but then I was double gloved. Oh and I did break out a sweat. The heat lamps that keeps the isomalt pliable but out a lot of heat and the area was hot. If you got the right equipment I say give it a try. I did end up buying isomalt sticks and a mould but I still need to get my heat lamp and area to work in to really get down and dirty with the sugar. 

This is my pulled flower from isomalt.

So as I mentioned earlier last week I was going to take a gum paste flower class. It was 2 days of intense hardcore flower making . . . and I enjoyed every bit of it! I fell in love with the flowers we made in class and I am seriously thinking of going to Georgia to take some more of Nick's classes!

Here is me and Nicholas, the sugarcraft guru.

Here are my flowers.

Can I get a woot woot! LOL!

If there are any questions you may have about these flowers or others feel free to ask me and I will try to answer them to the best of my ability. I hope to get the time and try to put some tutorials up on how these were made.
