Hamburger Cake

Chris and I were having a BBQ for some friends and I thought it would be funny to make a Hamburger cake. I think it turned out pretty good.. I just copied one off the internet. The cheese and pickles are fondant, so everything was edible. And there are real sesame seeds on top.

At tomorrows class we are suppose to make a football, but I'm going to see if I can do and Easter Egg.. Same shape.. We'll see. :)

Clown Cake 3-23-10

So here is todays cake.. I was a little worried when I heard we were doing clowns, but they turned out really cute. All climbing all over the cake.. it's fun. I plan on taking it to FPU class tomorrow night. Hope they like it. The inside is Confetti cake.

St. Patty's Day Cake-Totally Un-edible!

So it's a long story, but one I saved for the blog and not facebook.

I forgot my icing that I made last night at 11pm (argh!) and had to buy some at class. My teacher gave me what I needed, I had a terrible time with it (cursing, the whole bit) and finally finished the cake. I HAD planned on taking the cake to Lighspeed to be consumed but at the checkout counter the other lady discovered why I was having such a hard time. I wasn't using regular icing, I was using icing concentrate. So needless to say, Lightspeed won't be getting this cake, nor will anyone but the trash can.. Too bad, it is very cute.

So tech learned today was tracing with an edible marker onto rice paper and then transferring it on to the cake and coloring it in with colored piping gel. Never done any of that before, so that was really fun.. and we learned some other stuff to smooth out spatula lines, etc.

A couple of Cakes

I haven't posted here in awhile, so here are a couple of cakes I've made. Susie graduated from Surgical Tech school and Lauren had a birthday. I'm learning as I go and my writing isn't so great, but practice makes perfect.
