:: WELCOME ::

i felt compelled to create this blog with the thought of all those who have helped me as i continue my journey of cake decorating. if not for those creative minds who were brave enough to put themselves out there i would not have learned so many wonderful things or been as inspired as i am. i am just starting on my path to greatness! (ha ha!) i hope to document my progress through this blog. give out tips i have learned. make more connections with the decorating world. and perhaps someday give someone a little inspiration myself. so welcome and thank you for stopping by!

2005 Nov - 2006 Jan

{ Too long since a post about my cakes! }

please remember that I was still just playing with fondant so
the cakes are not that good!

:: GAME OVER ::



Old school game playing for BlindSide . Not the best photograph that is for sure! I tried to locate my painting skills for the screen on this cake, but sadly they were on vacation......bummer.



:: DEATH STAR ::


PhotOP's hired me to make a cake for a Star Wars fan at her work. Let me take a moment to tell how they run their birthdays there, I thought it was a good idea! When your birthday arrives the person who had the previous birthday is in charge of purchasing your birthday cake. I liked that idea! Anyway......I had a lof of fun making this cake. PhotOP wanted in to be made on a Texas King Cake, which if you haven't had this cake you have GOT to try it. The moisted most chocolatey-ist cake ever. But it doesn't come out of the pan, too sticky. I covered the dome cake in fondant and then cut and shaded it to look like the Death Star. Then I logged onto My Sweet Knees Star Wars game and did some research on their alphabet, then I wrote Happy Birthday in that alphabet! Cool huh! It's the little touches that make me so awesome!
hee hee.....not really!


:: OLE! OLE! OLE! ::



*Please stay tuned for a SoapBox Moment with Aubrey.....

I hate with a HATE HATE HATE candy and crackers and fruit strip gum and whatevers on cakes, I think it looks sooo tacky and soooo cheap! But....BUT I have been slowly changing my mind about it. (This is recent not when I made this cake!) I think it is all in how it is presented on the cake. I have started seeing it done very nicely and have been impressed. So that being said, I didn't like this cake. Having an extremely small budget for this cake, I had to work with that which I had, and so this is what My Sweet Knees got for his birthday that year. I have yet to make him the ultimate cake. I have the idea, just not the money or the means to make it come about quite yet, perhaps for his 35th birthday!
