Spring Birthday!

My sister's birthday was this weekend and I wanted to make her a fun springy, flowery cake!

This is what I came up with!I love all of the bright colors! The cake itself if a chocolate cake (my sister's favorite) with a creamy OREO filling! So yummy!Happy Birthday Mel! I love you!

My Birthday!

So everyone kept saying that I should not have to make my own birthday cake...but I really wanted to! I like the practice and trying new techniques! For this I used the bow technique we used for the course 3 cake. I found some pretty ribbon at Michaels and used that for my inspiration of the colors...since I LOVE blue! I think it turned out really pretty! I absolutley love the little flowers that I used to cover up where the ribbon met! Happy Birthday to Me!

Wilton Course 3 cake

Wilton Course 3 was all about fondant...so we learned how to cover a cake in fondant. We also learned how to make a small bow - and whalah - it looks like a present!

Kylee's Friend Party

For Kylee's friend party, I decided to make some cupcakes. I only made the extra small oval cake because I had extra cake batter! I wanted to use an icing tip for the cupcakes and they turned out really pretty! I love the blue!

Wilton Course 2 final

For the Wilton Course 2 final, I have a yellow cake (can you tell that is my favorite) with a rapsberry cream filling and a vanilla buttercream frosting - made into a lovely basketweave design with cute little royal icing flowers on top!

A Friend's Birthday

One of my friend's and the mother of my daughter's 2 half brothers (yes this woman was also married to my ex husband...who is now her ex husband as well!) had her birthday! I was excited to have a girly cake to make after the last two! I could use my buttercream rose technique I had learned from the Wilton Course 1 class! I wanted to make them very vibrant and bright and think I accomplished that! This was a yellow cake with a whipped buttercream filling with chopped up M&M's and a vanilla buttercream frosting!

In the Beginning...

My first cake...Wilton Course 1 Final. carrot cake, with whipped cream cheese filling and a cream cheese frosting. This kind of frosting is harder to make smooth - plus it was my first cake! The instructor did not tell us until after that we did not have to put all of the techniques learned in course 1 onto the cake...o well!
