Snowflake Wedding Cake
So this week I made my first red velvet cake. I had a cream cheese filling inside and topped the cake with a thin blue fondant. I decorated the cake with snowflakes all around with homemade royal icing. I think that I’m going to tinker a little bit with the red velvet cake recipe to make it a little more sturdy for stacking tiers. Otherwise I think the cake came out wonderful and looked great.

Daisy Wedding Cake
So this week I made a Daisy Wedding Cake for Villa Napoli’s Pasta Night. It consisted of a chocolate cake, vanilla frosting and a very thin layer of fondant on the outside, covered in a million gumpaste daisies that I hand made. I had a blast making this from top to bottom. To me making cakes is so relaxing and I very much enjoy making gumpaste flowers. I feel this is probably one of my better cakes and the more I make they just keep getting better and better.
I need to sign up for more flower and decorating classes at ICE cause I want to learn more and improve. Muppet also suggested that I look into signing up for sculpting classes, alas I don’t know anyplace to go for that. I should ask some art friends and also look at community colleges to see what they offer.
Anyways here is the cake. Let me know what you think.

Cupcake Pops
So I decided to try and make something cute and little. I made cupcake pops which are little cakes dipped in chocolate on a stick. So far they’ve been going over really well. I’m hoping that people see them and think hey this would be a great favor at my next wedding/birthday/bridal & or baby shower events. I really liked making them and think they’re going to be a regular up front at the restaurant.

My Wedding Cake
So when I graduated Pastry school for my final project I was supposed to create a two tiered wedding cake. I finally got around to finding my usb cord and putting the pictures on my computer. Take a look:
