Yummy Cakes!

I've had the opportunity to make a couple cakes in the past few months and thought I would share. The first cake that I made was for a friend's wedding. It was a nightmare because I had not made a cake in almost a year, plus it was the week after Scott and I got back from our Honeymoon so we were still unpacking. Needless to say, I got it finished and the end result was great. This is the biggest cake that I've made thus far, so I was pleased that it stood straight and flat.

The design was a four tiered cake, white fondant, with scrolling around the top. The inside was chocolate cake with buttercream icing. mmmmm.......Yummy!

I may look happy making the cake. But this is really how I felt:

Yup, that's one good looking cake.

I also made a belated birthday cake for Tavy. Probably a bit over the top for an 8 year-old, but honestly, I was looking for an excuse to get creative. I hope that Tavy liked it, I made it just for him.

Well, look at that! A thumbs up!

And a close up:

Originally I was going to put up instructions complete with pictures showing how I made Tavy's cake. I even uploaded all of the pictures off of the camera last night and put them onto my jump drive....well, I thought I did. I got into work today and saw that all of them were not on there even though I'm almost positive I made sure they were. Oh well, I figure that if anybody really wants to see how the cake was made they would speak up and then I would find some personal time at home to do this sort of thing.
