First Paid Project!

So I just finished my first paid cake order. It was for a girl I knew in Highschool, it was her husband's birthday. He is into boating and wakeboarding and stuff like that so this is what I thought would be great for him!
The first shot it part way through, I carved the cake then covered it with the fondant and kinda molded it for the inside of the boat. The second is a shot of the inside, it was kinda plain and simple because I didn't want to try too much and ruin it... haha and then the Third shot is the final product! There are a few things I would do different next time, but seeing as its the first time i've done anything like this and the first time doing a freakin boat! lol I think I did a pretty good job. They loved it, so i guess it all works out! :D

I think it was a great learning experience and a nice cake to add to my portfolio. They also asked me if I would do a wedding cake for someone they know! (for sept 18) I might do it, but a wedding cake is a bit different then just a birthday cake haha! Anyways... Thats all for now :D

oh and ps School starts tomorrow!!! yay!

What i've been up to

So i know most of you have seen it... but here is a pic of my b-day cake. And then a pic of the wedding cake I made for my mom, busy week, but its been fun, I've got a turntable now, so i makes decorating at how alot easier! love it! I also got this really sweet cake carrier from my dad, which is super nice, very sturdy and holds up to a 10" cake

The cake is on the bottom of the carrier thing i got, the dome is really high on it to, so my cake was three layers and it still fit! Good thing too cuz i had to bring it home from mapleton!

My mom wanted her cake really simple. Well i don't think she REALLY wanted a cake, but knew i would be offended if she didn't ask me to make it lol. I thought it turned out really pretty! just a simple black ribbon and the flowers on top are real flowers. It looked good with the colors of the flowers and things on the table. I had to get one last pic of the flowers on top after everyone devored it, i thought my flower arranging skills turned out better then expected! (seeing as how I did it in less then 10 min before the wedding started! thats me for ya!) I also just stuck them in the cake.... i'm not sure if thats 100% sanitary or even if its a bad thing, but hey it was for family so i doesn't matter too much :D

Then here is the hubby taking pics of himself instead of the wedding... lol he likes dressing up :D

Start of Something Good?

So i recently had three request from people for cakes made by me! (actually 4 if you count my mom's wedding cake) not through albertson's, but me just me all me! thats kinda way exciting!! people wanting to pay me money for a cake and then they get all excited and maybe tell people they know? thats so cool. a really neat feeling :D it's a bit nerve racking though, kinda alot of responsibility.... i think i need to start making up prices and stuff cuz i have no idea what to charge... a price kinda just pops up and says, hey i'd be willing to pay that so maybe that would be good... lol i need to go to bed, i'm getting all anxious and stuff. but it is a really cool feeling :D
