My first big cake with my new pans turned out delicious - chocolate cake with mint cream cheese icing (you can't really lose!)

After that I needed to be a little more brave and make a 2 tiered cake!

Then I started working with fondant for my Uncle's 60th birthday cake

Continuting to learn on my Grandma's (lumpy) 80th Birthday cake

I was particularly proud of the Skyrim Birthday Cake I did

Another cake for Amy

The last practice cake where I played with some lace texture...

That wraps it up for practice cakes.

The day came do to the real thing....
(This magnificent photo is taken by my sister's wedding photographer - Randal is INCREDIBLE! If you're in the Vancouver area, I strongly suggest working with him!!! http://www.randalkurt.com)


It turned out great and I'm so glad that her photographer got so many amazing shots of it! (Thanks Randal!!)
I don't intend to be doing any more wedding cakes in the near future, but I definitely would for friends & family - provided I'm NOT in the wedding in!

What an amazing job you did! So very thoughtful of you to make her cake.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Her cake turned out great! Oh, and I'm sure my brother-in-law, husband, and future sister-in-law would love that Skyrim cake!
