Here is my final cake for the Wilton 4 class. I decided that I wanted to make a more 'manly' cake...which is tough to do when I'm supposed to showcase the handkerchief drape....
...and daisies in a dainty box. The brown fondant makes it look manly, doesn't it?
Pay no attention to the slight view of the family eating taco salad in the background. Take note of the mint chocolate cake in the foreground. Mmmmmm-manly.
This was my second sale cake - made for a friend of a friend's 60th birthday party. It was a white cake with tinted batter and....
covered in a green marbelized fondant. Truth be told, I attempted to make tie-dye frosting but couldn't get it to work. I still do not enjoy working with fondant, but I've learned some new techniques and know I can make a better cake. The customer was very happy with this one though and their friend was pleasantly surprised.
Here is my final cake for the Wilton 3 class. This was my first time using fondant. I tried to marbleize the pink fondant for the bow. It was harder than you'd think, but turned out fairly well - for a first attempt anyway. This cake wasn't quite finished by the end of class (notice the lack of other decorations), but I managed to add a few more details.
Here is a more finished version of the above cake. The bow deflated in the fridge, but it was still a nice looking cake.
