finale cake

Last night I had my final class for fondant and gum paste. This was my finale cake made with two colors of fondant, I made a little leaf border. The cake inside is banana with vanilla buttercream.

Gum Paste and Fondant Class

I'm taking a new class all about using fondant and gum paste. Last night we made these flowers...pretty fun!

Little Mini's

Today I made some cute little mini cakes for practice for a wedding cake I'm going to be doing this summer. The bride is debating between buttercream/cream cheese frosting and fondant. The cake will be red velvet, so the choice is really between cream cheese frosting piped like in the second cake or fondant like the first cake. The top is going to be covered with fresh flowers not my teeny little flowers. She's leaning towards the fondant, mostly because it just looks so much cleaner and smooth. The classic debate...beauty or taste?
