Along with some of the interests i put on my page I also am interested in Cake decorating and i help out a family friend who owns her own business making cakes and cupcakes whenever i get the chance.
Last Friday i helped her out making the cake that it shown in the pictures above.It was for a little girls birthday and everything on the cake is edible except for the wire used to make the cherry stem.
The cake is broken down into four parts which after its iced you cant tell but the present is to cakes stacked and then the cupcake top and bottom are two differet cakes held together by butter cream icing and fondant.
The dots, Candy, Cherries, Ribbon, and top layer of icing on the cake is all fondant. For those of you who dont know fondant is thick almost like playdo and unless you make it yourself using marshmellow cream it is usually almost like pure sugar. Its used to sculpt things and make a cake more detailed and clean looking but also it adds a sweeter taste to any cake.
This cake took us almost four hours to make but it was a lot of fun and the end result was great.I cant wait to go back and learn more from her and make more cakes!
