Tiered or stacked

Learnt how to stack properly. I could still make the cakes a little more leveled as I could see that the top one was a little slanted!
Leaves are painted with copper lustre dust!

Baby cake

I loved making the baby...made out of mexican paste (mix of fondant and gum paste)...why the heck they call it that I have no clue!!

I dyed the fondant a blue - this makes it hard to keep the fondant nice and clean..but I suppose if I used some lustre dust it would hide finger prints on colored fondant.

Day 3 - Sunflowers

This cake was a lot of fun for me. This is a little different as we had to join pieces of fondant, since basketweave is used, then crimp, and decorate.

Day 2 - Swags and roses

Roses were so easy! Swags were a little difficult to control and glue...but practice makes perfect.

Simply simple

This is the first cake. We were taught how to cover cakes in fondant and use some plunger embossers and cutters!

PME Module 1

I am taking professional classes by PME, taught by Sheila Brooks of Cake Craft Shoppe. What a wonderful instructor! This module is on pure fondant. The class is taught and then we have to come up with our own cakes with inspiration from cakes made by Sheila... so the following are what i managed!

Stacked cake - first time ever!

This was my first attempt to a stacked cake.... it was not as easy as it looks on shows and pictures! The cake is coffee with raspberry whipped cream and whipped chocolate ganache. I was given literally a days notice to make this cake....ummm ...why I took this challenge is beyond my thinking at this point. I baked the cakes on Thursday and then on Friday I started at 9am and got finished at 3.30pm! I seriously think I am going to stick to cupcakes, unless given at least a few days notice. Oh, the icing outside is cream cheese (i found a recipe that crusts so that i was able to give it a somewhat smooth look, although if I had a day to do that it would have turned out smoother.
