Well this month marks the one-year anniversary this website. I have come a long way in just one year, and I can't wait to see what 2012 will bring. Well so far I have made two cakes this year, a Call of Cuty cake, and a snowman cake.
The first cake is a Call of Duty sheet cake. I made this for a client who's son was turning 11 and loved to play the video game Call of Duty. The cake was half chocolate cake, and half confetti cake. This was the first time I made confetti cake from scratch, and I was really happy with the results. The frosting on the cake was buttercream and made to look like a camouflage pattern. The top boarder is fondant made to look like barb wire. I also made rice krispy treat tank and grenade to go on top along with fondant dog tags. I hand-cut the lettering for the cake as well.

The next cake I made was a snowman with snowflake cupcakes. The client I made this cake for had a son who was turning 1 and she wanted a snowman cake for his birthday. The cake was chocolate with buttercream icing. The icing was textured using a paintbrush and lightly tapping the icing. The nose, button eyes, scarf and snow flakes were all made out of fondant with a light dusting of pearl dust to give it a shine. The stick arms were made from wire wrapped in floral tape.
Well that's all the new cakes for now. I will post some more cakes when I have new orders. Until then, I will be diving head first into my endless pile of homework and group projects.
