Fondant and Gum Paste- What FUN!!!


the Calla lilies definitely turned out the best out of all my flowers....




I loved the purple fondant but after one afternoon in full sunlight it turned baby blue!!! Still pretty, but a surprise to me :)



Until next time,

Jill

Dad's 50th Birthday Cake

This cake was for my Dad's surprise 50th birthday party. Doing this large of a cake in total secrecy was a bit difficult, but I managed in the basement. The strawberry filling proved to be a problem too, but after getting the cake cut length-wise (which was the difficult part) things went smoothly. All in all I love doing royal icing flowers- they hold up well. The only thing is that kids want to eat them and they're rather hard... hmmm









More cake pics later!
Blessings,
