Baptism Cake

Well, I am not sure if I am going to say yes to making a cake in four days again. Stress, I almost lost my hair.

I have a friend at work ring on the weekend, his friend needed a baptism cake and could I help.

I always ask what kind of cake? Meaning large, small, lots of detail.

"A small cake, like the one you have made before", "Okay sure".  Sometimes my mouth speaks before my head thinks.

Send me details. The details were, roses on the two corners with silver letters. WOW!! Did I just say yes!

The letters were a nightmare, I only had one day to do them. Kind of my fault, I didn't have the right size and forgot to order the tappit. Then they kept breaking as I had to paint them silver.

Anyway I got there and hopefully they love it.

Sneak peek

More roses, This cake will be finished soon so I will be posting pictures of my first ever wedding cake.

Final Rose

Here it is, i think it is pretty awesome myself. I'm I allowed to say that?

A couple of rough edges, but it is amazing only after 10 or 15 tries.

Same flower, just a slightly different angle.

More practice

Okay so many minutes watching you tube and I am getting better. 

I think they are starting to look pretty good myself. I just have to keep making them until they are. 

There always seems to one that is the one to keep out of so many made.

I will keep going until they are all keepers.

Rose Practice

Okay so I decided I can do anything, yes that is right anything. A friend asked me if I would do her wedding cake. Wedding cakes freak me out!  Because it is a big day, and everything needs to be perfect. A simple cake was requested so I said 'YES',  I can do simple. That is before I knew it was roses, okay I have been taught how to make them. That is the first part done, it looks so simple on you tube, But.. I did it

It is fantastic when you have a plan and it starts to work out, I intend to practice until the big day, or week. 

I brought two lots of cutters, as the first cutter I brought were the petal cutters as singles, as I couldn't find the 5 petal easy rose cutters. Which is okay as now I can make single rose petals to scatter in a few places around the cake.

 

My cones in all different sizes, that needs a little work.

I also tired to use the pasta roller for thin petals but it kept breaking so back to the old rolling pin, also it is pretty warm inside at the moment and they are getting hard fast.

Roses

It is awesome, I love how people make roses and always wanted to try it. Lucky it was part of my course.

My two very first roses, now they are to show that the ones I practice and show next time will be much better. So these will be called the much much before roses.

These are the very much much more before Ribbon Roses, it seemed simple but getting the start worked out is much harder for me then it looked. Practice does make perfect.
