This was the first cake I completed in my Wilton classes. I was so proud at the time at how smooth my icing was. It's funny how much I notice how not smooth it is now. But that is all part of learning. I felt so decadent tinting that many colors of icing at the time too- what a hoot! I am so glad I took these classes.

This was my cake for Course 3 Lesson 2.Ã� I really love this style and think it is such aÃ�versatile cake you could use it for so many events. Fondant is much more fun that I expected. Especially since discovering Satin Ice Fondant at Karen Ann's. This stuff tastes like marshmellow- it is delicious! I actually had to have a piece of this one when I got to the firehouse. It was carrot with homemade cream cheese icing. The thing weighed a TON! And we made quick work of it. Not so tough to cut a pretty cake!

This is the cake I made as my final piece for Course 2. I was so proud of myself I could burst! I can't believe I learned so much in such a short time! Barb Post was a great teacher and I really enjoyed her company too. The thing I learned from this cake is to really pay attention to the colors you are using so the cake isn't so @CRAZY@ at the end. I wish my pinks were more toned down. I learned icing picks up even more color as the day goes on. Oh well. The firehouse devoured it! Thanks for looking!

I made these cupcakes for my Course 1 Lesson 3 project. It was a lot of fun and I was proud of them. I doubled the batch and delivered half to my dentist's office, Dr. Joe Grimaud and then the other batch the firefighters at Crestwood Firehouse (my usual cake drop- I mean really, what am I supposed to do with a cake every couple of weeks?) Of course, they were all devoured at both places. I love the bright colors and the glitter! Thanks for looking!

I made this cake for my Course 4, Fondant and Gum Paste, lesson 1 cake 1. What really mattered is not how it looked but that a few of my friends, Margaret, Pat and Rachel came to cake class to enjoy it with Jessica and I. And since I am her best student, she allowed it. (Did I mention I am her only student- but still the best!). It was spice cake with cream cheese icing and Satin Ice Fondant which I find to be delicious! I am looking forward to smooth fondant days ahead. This cake was 2 layers 6" pans.

This was my cake for Course 3, Lesson 1. I just wanted to have a little fun and exaggerate some of the techniques that we learned. For instance, I piped the "delicate" cornelli lace with a 5 tip. This cake is 3 six inch layers. I used the canned Wilton chocolate icing and homemade buttercream for the piping. I really enjoyed this cake. I wish I could perfect bow making. It was much easier to make them on a flat table top in class instead of on the side of a cake. I will be working on that. Thanks!
