In community album: Mini Cakes / Petit Fours

LOTS of mini cakes!

Played around with home made rolled fondant, rolled buttercream & cream cheese icing (all for the first time) and had lots of fun doing it! Learned lots too- like cream cheese icing isn't good for decorating (unless I made it wrong!!) Feel free to critique or offer suggestions for ways to improve! The largest layer was 4 inches.. I think the mini cakes are tougher than the bigger ones to work with! Less room to play!

Oh - I also realized that topsy turvy cakes don't work too well in the mini size... or maybe I just made it wrong since it looks like it's only 2 layers instead of 3 & it just looks like it's falling over & not done on purpose! (Bottom left hand corner in case you can't pick it out!) :lol:

Wow, weren't you a busy little beaver! Very cute, I love the one on the right hand side with the ivory details and rose on top!

I forgot to mention that some of them may look like cakes from on here but I'm not sure. I've spent sooo many hours just looking at cakes that I can't remember where I got ideas from anymore! :o So if it looks like one you did & posted then thanks for the inspiration!
