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.

Today I hoped to have been able to make cakes but I got so caught up with different things going on that I had no time. :(. I really hope I can make a cake with my mom tomorrow that way I can continue to learn more about what the best cakes to make are. I am so happy to start my WISE experience with cake decorating! 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!

I am going to be starting to do the classes every tuesday and thurday for 3 hours each class.

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.
