Re: Cake Decorating!
Here is a picture of the Baby Shower cake I did for last weekend. I said I'd post a picture, so here it is. (clickable thumbnail)
Of course, I look at it and see everything wrong with it. I had such a difficult time with this cake. One, my turntable broke in half right as I was getting ready to ice it! Then, my blue fondant kept falling apart. I had to change my original design and wing it completely. It was supposed to be white buttercream w/ blue fondant stripes. and the booties were supposed to be on a scalloped plaque type thing, but since the fondant was not cooperating not matter what I did, I decided at the last minute to do blue buttercream w/ darker blue buttercream stripes, and then did the rosettes and daisies to cover up the top and bottom of the stripes. I put the daisies on top to kind of tie it together. I kept hitting my icing, too, so lots of flaws there. (I hadn't eaten and my hands were really shaky, hence the stripe right in front being off.) It was my first time making booties. One disintegrated on me, so I had to make another at the last minute- luckily, it hardened up fast. - I was so happy after the cake was done and delivered! I did not get to take a picture because I had wait until I delivered it to put the booties on, but the hostess took a picture and sent it to me along with a nice email.

Re: Cake Decorating!
Wow, you ladies are GOOD! I've only recently decided I want to start doing cake decorating - I love baking and my best friend helped me make a heffalump cake for dd's first birthday, that was awesome (although not nearly professional-looking!) I'll try to remember to come post a pic here.
Her second birthday is going to be a teletubby cake, and I'm going to try to do fondant for the face... wish me luck! In fact I have a question about that, maybe someone can help: Can I use coconut oil instead of shortening for the marshmallow fondant? |

Re: Cake Decorating!
Oh, you ladies are so GOOD! I'm attempting my first "fancy" cake this evening, actually, and I'm so intimidated.

Re: Cake Decorating!
In my defense, it was supposed to be two bundts stacked in a pumpkin shape, but dd destroyed one of them the night before. And I was cutting out the mouth with a badly burned finger. I don't really claim to be good at this. |
