Wilton Fondant and Gumpaste Final cake

Here is my Fondant and Gumpaste class final cake! This is a White cake with buttercream icing and caramel filling. I covered the cake with Wilton Rolled Fondant. It was very chewy! Next time I am gonna go with Satin Ice Rolled Fondant. I am waiting for my wilton fondant to get finished!

Here are my cute lil daisies!

Old Fashioned Strawberry shortcake

The recipe was more of biscuit type. It wasn't actually a cake! Got the recipe from web somewhere and tried it out! Came out great!

Time pass cake!

Fun time at Wilton class

Made a practice cake for Wilton course 3, class 2. Didnt do much with it... So our instructor, Lynn turned it into a Halloween cake for me! This is a Lemon cake with buttercream icing sprayed with with Wilton food color mist and Halloween sprinkles!

Wilton course 2 final cake

There was only one cake i had to do for this course. We had to do Royal Icing for couple of classes. Made flowers - apple blosoms, violets, pansies, mum, daffodils, daisies! It was fun! A lot of time,i have heard Royal Icing was tough to work with..But i really loved it. The victorian roses came out really good with Royal Icing compared to the Buttercream ones. Also we made birds with color flow mix. One thing I learnt is that color flow tints fade. So its better to tint couple of shades darker to get the desired color range. I made my birds in sky blue and after couple of days, they were pale blue.

So, for the final cake i made a rainbow cake(read it in another blog) as we were planning to give the cake to one of our colleague's daughters. It was French Vanilla flavor with vanilla pudding filling. It was a great disaster on the day of the class when the cakes moved and my pudding got squeezed out. Somehow i managed to ice the cake again and started with basket weave. Its bit tacky, but as u get to roll, it seems quite easy..But hands hurt a lot...Ropes were very easy..So I ended putting all the flowers on my cake and by the time i drove back, OOOOOOOF, again cake splt! :(





So I started again! Now I made basket weave like a pro in 20 mins! Arranged flowers and ready to go!






And the kids were happy! :)

Brownie

Got a box of Betty Crocker's brownie mix and tried it out. Came out gr8! Next time i wish to do it from scratch.

Wilton Course 1 - Final Cake

Wilton method of cake decorating

This cake I tried for my fifth anniversay. I wasn't able to attend the class 3 and had to try the rose on my own. Not bad for the first time i think!



This is the rainbow cake I made for wilton course 1,class 2. We had to put the zigzag lines instead of stars as we ran out of time. However, the cake came out pretty good.

Nikon D90 - my new digital SLR

I got a new Nikon D90. Love the camera! Still have not read the manual fully..Exploring with the camera myself with the help of some online contents abt Digital Photography with DSLR!
Some of the photos that i took of my son came excellent. It was a few months before. Now he is not allowing me to take any photos. He just wants to explore the camera too! ;)
