Holy Cow Escapee! Thats SO awesome. Good job.

I always wondered about the Wilton pre-made stuff. Good to know.

Escapee, when Sarah was 3 we went to a pre-K friend's birthday party. Sophia's (friend) grandma bought a Barbie cake similar to yours only without the bottom layer. It had basic roses, the ones you can make with the rose tip. The cake wasn't even 1/10th as cute as yours and it cost $50.00 nine years ago.

You should be very proud of your work.

I agree, great cakes? May I ask a question?
What kind of frosting did you use for the blue part of the guitar?

Thanks, Escapee! I did read about the purple frosting but as you can see with my too many "?"s that I was typing in a rush when I asked.

Still beautiful cakes!

so pretty! Love the lolly's.
Another question (my son's bday is coming up and I am doing his cake)..
His party is on a Saturday, when is a good time to make and decorate the cake? Or I should ask how long in advance should it be done?
How do you transport the cakes?

I am so sorry if I am being a pain. I usually just do round or sheet cakes, this time we are making a train cake.

I would bake the cake Thursday, let it cool and wrap it so it stays moist. I would decorate it Friday, then cover it in a cake caddy or cake box for Saturday.

I spent all weekend making royal icing flowers. It was far more labor intensive than I had anticipated. On the plus side, my violets really do look like the violets in the book!
I making Easter cakes for both hubby and my families this weekend. Sent a practice cake to work with him today and it was well received.

Tomorrow need to bake and decorate the cakes as we leave on Friday. It will be a very busy day along with everything else I need to do. Did finish my RKT eggs.

Escapee, more great work I love the butterfly cake.

Sugar, what are royal icing flowers?

My aunt always makes a bunny cake for Easter which, although it is adorable I dislike intensely because it has coconut sprinkled all over it. I've never had the heart to tell her, and lord knows when she's not here to make bunny cakes anymore I will be so missing that Easter tradition.

Sugar, Escapee - you are creating traditions for your family and friends that will stay with them forever. You should be very proud.

They are just flowers made from royal icing. Which is basically meringue, powered sugar and a bit of water.

My grandmother used to make the coconut bunny cake for Easter. I loved how it looked but I also hate coconut!

LOVE IT. Are those candy melts? Those have become some of my favorite things to work with, so easy and come out perfectly.

No actually, they are Jr Mints. They made heart shaped ones with either red or white mint inside for Valentines Day. I have never mastered the rose or rosebud, but I thought it wasn't too bad for the first time. I'll post my Thanksgiving and Easter cakes as soon as my hubby re-sizes them for me.
