Pikachu recap and cupcakes

So, since I didn't give much info on how Pikachu was made, here it is. He is/was a six layer vanilla cake with vanilla icing, with rice crispie treat ears and hands. He took three days (I was pacing myself) and a lot of fondant :P
On a different note, black Friday sales found me a new cupcake cookbook! I tried the "cinnamon puff" cupcakes for a picnic and they were spectacular! (even in mini version) I plan on making them again during Christmas break (they'd be delicious with hot chocolate)

Pikachu!

I just finished my first character cake! had a bit of trouble with proportions as you can see (didn't think fondant made things that much bigger), but for the most part he's pretty cute. I'm proud of the face :)

2nd Cake for Auction

Yesterday I successfully completed cake number 2 of the weekend, thus wrapping up what turned out not to be such a hectic two days after all. I'm very pleased with this one :)

Busy Busy Busy

For months this blog has laid dormant, but no more! Fresh from the oven, I bring you the busiest four day weekend of my life. I have to prepare two cakes for a cake auction Saturday night. Today I'm working on a three tiered vanilla cake, decorated with white fondant, and gum paste roses (made in advance, 3 1/2 hours :P). Pictures and more up dates later.
