Anniversary Cake

My little team at work is celebrating 5 years and they asked me to make the cake. Not sure how I feel about it how it looks, but it tasted good!

Ghost Cupcakes

Happy Halloween!  

Aren't these ghost cupcakes fabulous!?  They are delicious too!

Cubs cupcakes

These could be made for any team really, but I made them the week the Cubs tanked in the postseason. But at least they were yummy, right? GO CUBS GO (in 2009)!

Flower Cupcakes

I love these, they are too cute!

Cake I Class - Finale

WOW this icing is bright! I didn't realize it until the photos turned out this morning. It's like 80's flouresant! Particularly the green - I may need to put on sunglasses.

Here's the end product of Cake Art I. Last night we worked on leaves, the purple flowers at the top, ribbons, and more roses. The class was super fun, and I'm looking forward to Cake Art II in February!

Cupcake Class

Last night was Cupcake Night in my cake class! Some of these are definitely better than others.

My favorite are these first two - white flowers that look surprisingly classy. The first was done with a spiral flower, the second with some kind of spin technique.

This one is actually pretty fun as well. I used the tie-dye bags from the clowns (below) and it turned out really neat looking.
Creepy Clowns. These would look better without the weird heads.
Not a fan of how she had us position this clown. He's suppose to be "on his tummy." Uh... that's what she said.

This one was "sprinkled" by the teacher. I wanted it to look like a white rose. She apparently thought it needed an extra dose of ugly. And then on the way home it toppled over. This poor cupcake never had a chance.

Love the colors on this one!

Cake Class, Results Part 1

These are the cakes I made last night in cake class.  The top one I am happy with, the bottom one was not centered enough and it's driving me insane.  Hopefully Curtis will eat it quickly and not concern himself with less-than-perfect cake.  The balloons themselves were actually my bet yet... just too high up.
