I have been a member here since November and I am addicted to this site! We went on vacation recently and I was having severe withdrawal.

Anyway, I have only made cakes for friends and family. I have been way too intimidated to post any of my efforts here but I finally said, "What the heck!" so I have uploaded some pictures.
I welcome any comments or pointers you might have.

WOW - you are good! No pointers from me, I may ask you for a few though! You have some beautiful cakes you have made.

I think they are great. The frosting on your anniversary cake is so smooth!

Pointers??? Ha...with work like that, just as Quadcrew said, I may ask a few from you!!!
Wonderful Cakes..Just Beautiful!!!!!!!!

Your cakes are really good! Glad you posted them! Janice

I don't know WHY you were shy about posting your cakes...you do FABULOUS work!

Your cakes are great I'm glad you decided to post them.

Dang! I don't know why you haven't posted pics before--you do beautiful work!!

Thanks for sharing.

Excellent job! I don't know why you were so intimidated. Your cakes are lovely. You did a fantastic job!

Beautiful work!! Keep 'em coming!!!

Thank you. You are all very encouraging. I have learned a lot from this site and really look forward to checking it out every day ... actually several times a day when I have the chance. LOL

Your cakes are so lovely, I'm with the others, I may need to ask you for some pointers! I see you're from Texas....there's a Cake and Sugar Art show this weekend in McKinney, are you anywhere close where you can attend?? A few of us are going to try and meet there.

you did really well and i would love your pointer on course 3 flowers as I didn't get to learn then and need to take the course over so I can and yours a sooo pretty

your work is excellent! No pointers here

i just love looking at other people's work!! you are off to a great start...or have you been doing this for a while???

Thank you all for your kind comments. I have taken the 3 Wilton classes over the past couple of years but until this year I have usually only made about 2 cakes a year. Now with my son in pre-school I am doing more.

The petunias are pretty easy. They are like doing a wild rose or that type of petaled flower in a lily nail. Use the 1 5/8th inch lily nail and put the foil all the way into it. Use tip 103 to make 5 petals and tip 16 for the center and place 5 stamens in the center. It is in my course III book but I have not been able to find visuals online for you look at. I will keep looking.
