Hello, Kitty!


I was so happy with how this little figure turned out. She's all fondant (marshmallow fondant). I know her little figure is pretty basic and an easy shape; I was just happy with how closely she resembled the picture I had printed off as a model.


This picture just shows the wrapped edging on the gift box cake - people really seem to like that little detail (and I like using that technique because it makes life much simpler when smoothing fondant over a square shape).
And a picture of the finished product - a very girly and cute cake, if I say so myself! The cake itself was strawberry with vanilla buttercream. Pink and white inside and out!

Fall Wedding Cake

This was a wedding cake I did in mid-November. It was cream colored and I made a bunch of fondant leaves to decorate with, but when I got to the reception to set it up I realized I had really made the colors too bright. I was glad these extra petals were available - I think it turned out looking pretty great - and I've heard that it tasted really good, too. The bottom layer was chocolate with chocolate hazelnut filling; middle was carrot cake with cream cheese icing; top layer was white chocolate with raspberry filling. Very rich and delicious!
