So Cake Decorating class is going really well. I'll admit, majorly excited about not doing flowers for the moment!! I'm much better at figures and well lets say DRAGONS!! But i have a feeling i will be back to doing flowers in no time! So there hasn't been much big cake action happening at the moment either, but that is about to change!! So i thought i would post some of the stuff that i have done at cake decorating.
This is a dragon, a very dumpy probably wouldnt fly dragon, but a dragon none the less. What i should have realised is that he would get stuck to my cutting matt, and so major efforts had to be made to remove him onto some wax paper. But it was all very successful in the end!!
This is a practice car for my nephews 2nd birthday cake which is coming up at the beginning of July. I was impressed with how the black actually stayed black. I tinted the fondant black (which meant it went grey-ish) and then i painted over the top with food colouring. Everytime I've done this with modelling fondant it has faded, but this seems to have stayed quite well! so i think we will try some more different coloured cars, and making the wheels a bit more round!!
This is the golfer in action!! Made from modelling fondant, I dont know if im into golfers very much, and will probably struggle to find someone who i know who likes golf, but i get the concept!! He needs to have his golf club added when he goees onto a cake. but i like his checked shirt!!
These are bride and groom cookies i made for my friends wedding. They turned out better than i expected, considering it was cookie recipe I've never used before. However, that being said they did lose their heads during the course of the day!! very fragile! They are covered in buttercream icing, and the bride has sifted icing sugar over the top to give her a crisper white colour.
I made these mini cupcakes for Mothers Day High Tea this year (along with some mini profriteroles - of which i have no photos but they were tedious to make so will probably never make them that small again!!) The cupcakes are decorated with coloured chacous and some of my piped flowers from my first term of cake decorating classes (some flowers i made that i actually liked)
