My mom asked for a cake for a friend of hers. "She deserves something beautiful," she said. Of course that led me to flowers. I initially just planned on doing daisies, but as the cake progressed, I thought I'd try out some of my new lily cutters. This was a 7" chocolate cake with chocolate mousse filling.
I snapped a few quick pictures at the end of the second fondant class. I am actually very proud of my "students". They are learning lots and left with some pretty decent cakes. I can't wait to see what happens next week!
This is my cake rendition of the Barnes & Noble's Nook. I made it for a friend's dad's 60th Birthday, along with a few cupcakes. There's a few things I'd do differently if I were to make this cake again, but just little things like use different pans (with sharper corners). It's too bad I can't put a digital touch pad in a cake.
Business is starting to pick up, which is really nice! This past weekend I was very busy. I got to make this really adorable lighthouse cake for a 50th birthday. They are hard to see, but there are reeds coming out of the cake, and it was just so fun (if I do say so myself). It's ALL sugar, except for the reeds and the wire on the fence.
Editors Note: I just got this from the lovely lady who ordered the lighthouse cake.
I LOVE feeling the LOVE!Mandy, you are so talented!! The lighthouse cake and cupcakes were a huge hit. Everyone at the party was taking photos of the cake..they couldn't stop talking about it. I have shared your blog address with my friends. That's the best carrot cake we have ever had and those lemon curd cupcakes are my favorite. Thank you so much for moving to Utah. I'll be contacting you again soon for a graduation cake. --Vicky
My sister asked me to make this crocheting cake for her good friend. I love a challenge! Those balls of yarn weren't easy, but I love the outcome.
The final project for the weekend was 150 cupcakes to celebrate Aurora's 16th birthday, or the final production of Sleeping Beauty at the Lehi Arts Center. It was a darling production that my family and I were privileged to attend.
For my sister's nanny. I was told blingy and fancy. I love how simple this cake is, but it has just enough flair to look like it belongs in a Las Vegas Burlesque show : )
My mom ordered this cake for one of her very best friends, whose birthday just happened to be VALENTINE'S DAY! Super cute... and very Valentine-y.
More cake pops! These were obviously ordered for a Superbowl party. Love the colors! Even if I could really care less who played, or won the Superbowl : )
