Disappointing Father's Day Cake

Well making this cake was going really well. The middle frosting was coconut and pecan frosting (or german chocolate frosting).
Yumm....it was going so well.

Till I made the frosting for the symbol/lettering.

I should've used buttercream fondant instead. Oh well, it was the effort that counts right?

WBD- World's Best Dad. Why is it like a UPS symbol cuz he's MY mail man. Happy Father's Day Hubby!

Butterflies & Hearts

German Chocolate Bundt cake

Buttercream frosting

If you're seeing brown spots on the frosting, those are crumbs from the cake. Technically its a decorating no-no but I liked the look.

I had little butterflies with the big hearts.

And little hearts with the big butterflies.

The blue frosting has mint extract mixed in with the buttercream frosting

I cleaned the plate as best I could even though I was supposed to do that before I frosted it with the blue frosting.

I could easily put some candy or something in the center but I didn't feel like it, so this is the finished product from today.

I haven't tried to eat it yet but I'll post that later including what others may think.

Cake Burgers!!!

The one with white frosting, white frosting = mayo

Yellow=mustard, red=ketchup, green=lettuce

The lettuce look like wings huh?

Brown= A1 sauce

Sorry to show the pictures backward starting from first made and stuff but oh well. These are cake burgers. My mother made these a looooong time ago, and I wanted some for my birthday. I didn't practice my skills of decorating like I wanted but it worked out ok. And fyi I don't really mean the frosting is mustard or ketchup, just representing. Fun either way!!!

Baby Shower Teddy

My sister's Baby Shower Bear for their little boy.

This bear took about 2 and 1/2 hours and very fun to make.

Fondant & Shower Prep

This bear was used for the baby shower for my sister a few days later.
Melissa's rose (blue even though it was actually purple) Mine was the white rose

I made a Fondant Bear, Melissa made the eyes, nose and hat.

Making fondant was a messy job, but we made a GREAT tasting fondant, thanks to the internet.

Buttercream Fondant.

Shells 2

Shells aren't easy for me so we've dones them again this time on a round cake and a larger tip.

Plus we made pudding to go in the middle and we tried a new recipe for frosting. Yummy stuff.

Shells

Melissa Doebler and I have gotten together and she agreed to teach me how to decorate cakes. My first lesson was shells.

My Son's 2nd B-day

This was the first time decorating a cake with no help from a professional. So don't judge the bad work too quickly.
