Wilton Decorating Basics Cake by Stephanie

Hello Everyone,

I just wanted to give you a quick look at what you will learn to do in a Wilton Decorating Basics Class. This cake was completed by Stephanie N. in my Decorating Basics Class last week. This is a cake completed after her second lesson!!!

Way to go Stephanie!!

If you would like to learn how to do this cake - I have a new class starting June 7th, 2012 at Michaels on Harbison. Email me at sweetcakes@sc.rr.com for details.

Sweetcakes: First Birthday Cake Since Cancer

Erin &
Courtney's Birthday Cake 2012

Flowers made by Katie and I

Haley and I making Lilly Leaves

This is the simple Fondant Cake that I made for Erin & Courtney's Birthday. We celebrated them both on Easter since Oscar and I were unable to travel and visit them on the day of their birthdays. This is another cake I had lots of help with - I taught Courtney, Katie and Haley (my nieces) to make the Gum Paste Flowers and we knocked them out as a team. They were also kind enough to help me cover the whole giant cake with Fondant. Katie completed the entire ruffle border herself along with the pretty gray flower ( and it was her first time cake decorating - she is sooo talented!).

The cake was a huge Red Velvet Cake with cream cheese icing. It is a bit wonky because we had an icing "incident" Easter morning. I was still proud of it-- my first whole cake since my Cancer diagnosis. Without all the help I am sure I never would have finished the whole thing....

What does a Cake Decorator Do for Easter?

Easter Eggs 2012

Well here is what I did! Or I should say what we did, Katie and Patti really did the bulk of the cutting and slicing here. I still don't have the full use of my fingers but, I designed and dyed all these little guys. Plus the deviled egg recipes were all my own ( Bacon Deviled Eggs & Ranch Deviled Eggs). We actually dyed the egg whites here to make our little Roosters and Owls.
