Darling Daisies Cake





This was another cake made for my Wilton class (Fondant & Gumpaste). These sweet little daisies are made of gumpaste and everything else is in fondant. A perfect cake for the spring.

Lovely Lilies Cake







This is the final cake from Wilton Course 3. It's a two tiered cake embellished with lilies made of Royal Icing and dusted with luster dust. The cake itself is covered in fondant with buttercream string work.

Basket-weave Cake with Spring Flowers





This was the final cake in the Wilton Course 2 class. We worked on making flowers of Royal icing each week and then on the last class we learned the basket weave technique and embellished the cake with the flowers.

Royal Icing dries rock hard, lasts an indefinite amount of time, and you can do many different flowers with it. These flowers are great when you want to add a little something extra to an otherwise simple cake. They really dress up and add a bit of whimsy to whatever cake you put them on.

Sugar Flowers




In addition to doing cakes, I'm also not opposed to making sugar flowers, dot's, designs, etc. for clients. This person originally wanted me to do a cake for her sister's anniversary party, but unfortunately I was going to be out of town during the party so I couldn't do the cake. So she asked if I would just make her the flowers and she would make the cake. This was fine with me. The colors were blue and silver which is what she wanted the flowers to look like. The flowers and dots were made of gumpaste and dusted with luster dust.
