Argh Me Maties...

Another fun cake adventure from my friend, Misty.  Pirates themed!!

The 6" cake was a white cake with strawberry filling, covered in Vanilla Buttercream.  Decorated in Vanilla Buttercream &  Red Marshmallow Fondant strips.  The cupcakes were 1/2 White Cake & 1/2 Chocolate Cake, covered in Vanilla Buttercream and the pirate faces were in Marshmallow Fondant! 

I love it when Misty's family has birthdays!  I get to learn something new each time & get some great practice in...  THANKS Misty & Happy 5th Birthday Kaleb!!

Elegant Rose Cake

I get excited when I get a cake request that pushes me to learn something new!  This challenge - learning to do Fondant Roses!  I picked up the Wilton Gum Paste Flower Cutter Set from Michaels and I read some of the online 'How To' guides and got to work...
