For some reason my blogger hasnt aloud me to be creating post's this past week, but logging on now that goodness it did. I have been continuing my cake classes and am moving up to the next level. My brothers communion is coming soon so my mom wants to do a trial cake for him this weekend. I'm pretty excited to see then ending result. Ill be posting pictures so everyone can see!!. I can't wait to finally be at the last cake class and show everyone how far I have come with this cake decorating :).

I thought this video was really cool because it showed how to decoraste cupcakes with fondant and not just cakes. Everyone compares cupcakes to icing and never thinks that fondant could be used with it, but that isnt true. This video shows how to decorate cupcakes with fondant which is something I am looking forward to trying.

Today I just got home and the weather is TERRIBLE. im suppose to be going to my cake class today but they cancelled it for some reason. I was so bumbed out, but my mom said I could help make a cake to bring to her work for one of her employee's birthday tomorrow. I have to start the cake in a couple hours but for some reason im getting really excited to make this particular cake. Well im going to go to Publix now to get all the supplies!

I didn't really do much this weekend towards my project since I did so much during the week. Also, my boyfriend just came into town so I spent most of my time hanging out with him. I keep trying to decide what kind of cake I should use when I make my brothers First Communion cake, since I want it to be a surprise. I hope he likes it becaue I am putting so much thought into how im going to make and decorate this cake.

Today I continued my research for my brothers first communion cake and I'm hoping to get the final idea for the cake by next week. I really want to empress my entire family with this cake so they can see all that I have accomplished. I'm so excited to see what the ending result will look like. My mom said she would even help me with the cake! I'm hoping to also get the supplies to make and decorate the cake by next week.

Today I came home early from school because I wasn't feeling well at all. When I got home I realized how bored I was going to be until my mom came home so I tried finding things to do around the house. While I was looking I found a cake mix that I had completely forgot about. I started to make the cake that way when my mom got home I was able to surprise her with a great and amazing tasting chocolate cake. She was so happy when she got home and praised me for all the hard work I have been putting in for all this cake decorating.

Today my little brother had a birthday party for his 8th birthday! He was really excited for me to make him his very own Monster Truck Jam themed cake. It took a while for me to go online and find different ideas for his cake, but when I made it, it looked great! Im hoping to be able to upload pictures of the cake soon. Next week I am going to start a new set of cake classes which I am looking forward to!

Today I was going on YouTube to try and figure out how to make roses and flowers out of icing and I finally got it down packed with the help of this video.It is not as hard as I imagined it would've been. I made a bunch of flowers and decorated a cake with them and got to show it off to everyone in my family. I was so proud of myself since it is something I basically taught myself.

It is going to be so fun, and I cant wait to see pictures that show my improvement. I will be posting them soon!

Today is friday and its time to start buying all of the supplies for my cake classes that are starting on tuesday. When I signed up for the class they gave us a supply list and everything they are giving me seems so interesting and great! When I start the class I am pretty sure I am going to be the only student in the class because usually older people take the class. I am still excited though because I get so happy whenever I come near anything that has to do with cakes and cake decorating!

Today is my boyfriend’s birthday! I really wanted to make it special so I went to Tallahassee where he lives to surprise him. While I’m there I plan on buying all of the ingredients to make him the best birthday cake ever! He really doesn’t like cakes too much, so I decided to make him an ice cream cake. I am so excited to try something new and I know my boyfriend is going to appreciate it so much. For the ice cream cake I’m going to go on YouTube and try and find different recipes for a way to make an incredible ice cream cake.

valentines day

On February 14th,  for Valentines day, I made my mom a cake in a shape of a heart. My mom loved the look of the cake and it tasted even better then it looked. I made a vanilla cake with chocolate cream in the middle and chocolate frosting. On top I decorated it with pink and red sprinkles to represent Valentines day. The cake looked great and everyone ate the entire thing that night! I was so proud of it and my entire family was proud of me as well!

Today I am coming back from Tallahassee where I spent the weekend for my boyfriends birthday. Since it was his birthday I decided to make his birthday cake. There was a problem though, he wanted to have me make him and ice cream cake(which I have never made before). As I was winging it, creating the ice cream cake, I saw that it was coming out pretty good! I know I have never worked with ice cream cakes but the ending results were great. I was so proud that I was able to create that for his birthday. Also, now I know that I don't only enjoy creating regular cakes and decorating them, I also enjoy making and decorating all different types of cakes. I'm going to have fun these next couple months creating different and amazing cakes.

This video shows how to make fondant zebra stripes. I find this very cool because I love creating new things with the use of fondant. Fondant is a sugar kind of dough that is able to be made into all sorts of shapes and sizes and is also used to cover cakes and make them look flawless. I adore using fondant for many reasons and seeing this video makes me see how many truly amazing things can be made with just using some fondant. Another great thing about fondant is that it tastes amazing with whatever cake one uses it with and also makes it look just as great.
