cake, again.

Last week I had my final cake 3 class and we learned how to stack cakes. The teacher told us we could do what ever we wanted.

Here is my cake:


I was very happy with how it turned out.

Next up is class two and learning how to make more flowers....

Got Cake?

We do!

Finished Course 1 a few weeks ago and this was my final cake - Loved making Wilton Roses once I figured out how to hold the tip.



Now we're on to Course 3, I'll take course 2 next.

This class introduced me to fondant - not so sure I like working with it but mine turned out awesome. The teacher was shocked at how well I did.

So without further ado I present my present



And this is why my scrapbooking and card making has been on a decline.

Anyone want to place an order?

Memorial Day

Creatively this weekend took a different track than I expected. I ended up making 3 cakes and got no scrapping time in.

Here are 2 cakes I put together for my husband to take to work. The girls all loved it.



The third cake is for my class tomorrow - which reminds me I still need to finish the frosting and make more frosting. My mixer and I are so tired!

Life overload

I think both Martha and I are a little overwhelmed with non crafting responsibilities right now. Plus the big holiday weekend is fast approaching. My mom is still waiting for me to take her on the cemetery rounds. It's something I enjoy - a small connection with 3 generations of my family.

I had another cake class this week. The teacher said I had great improvement over last week. We started making roses - not to sure about those.

Here is my clown cake...


Have a great and safe holiday weekend!
