Cake

I've posted and emailed pictures of my cakes several different times, but I want to have them here so I can start posting them as I make them. I did an alright one this weekend for the bachelorette party, but I forgot to take a picture of it, I'm waiting for someone to email it to me. Here's what I've done so far:



I didn't take a pic of my very first cake, but it was pretty boring, anyway.

Second cake:

I made this one in the cake decorating class, I thought I did pretty good for my first "character" cake.

Third cake:

This was my first time to try flowers, they look okay here, but I REALLY need to practice them!

Fourth cake:

I made this one for Crystal and Nick's wedding reception, this first pic was before I added the strawberries. Here it is after the strawberries, I was very happy with the way it turned out:




Fifth cake:



This was my first, and so far only, experience with fondant, I think it's fun!


Sixth cake:


I made this one for a friend of mine, she had a coworker going through some hard times and wanted to cheer her up. I think it's too cute! I hadn't tried making red icing before, it takes A LOT of coloring!


Seventh:


This was for Chris's 30th birthday party. I would have done a headstone colored icing, but the chocolate tastes so much better!


Eighth cake:


This cake was for a friend, Ryan's, 30th birthday. I couldn't get the icing color right, this was as close as I could get. It was also my first attempt at a frozen buttercream transfer, I think it turned out pretty well!


Ninth cake:


This was for my cousin's son, Kaleb's, birthday party. He turned 1! I will NEVER do this cake, again. While it turned out great, it was a PITA!!

I did another of the chocolate and strawberry cakes for my cousin, Byron's, wedding reception, but they looked just like the first one, no need to post pics of it. Hopefully, I'll have a pic of the cake from this weekend, it turned out cute and the cream cheese icing was fantastic!! I'll definitely be using it, again!
