So, while all my friends were showered with electronics on Christmas, I was given an airbrush and food safe dyes. This was my first opportunity to use it, and what a strange one it was, The Flying Spaghetti Monster. (I'd like to say that the subject of this cake does in no way represent my spiritual views) Nevertheless, I am proud of the way it turned out. Who knew you could make fondant spaghetti in a meat grinder?

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.

Serenity Pics

Well, I've procrastinated long enough... I actually ended up with a respect for this cake despite the fact it claimed my favorite shirt with black icing stains. Would have posted the pictures sooner, but had a death in the family :( So here they are, my best effort at creating the shiniest ship in the 'verse :) not the best pics, better ones on the way
