New Cakes!

Ok, so I know I promised to clean up the Myth-ing Cake but I've been super busy and blogging just takes time to do properly.  So I'm going to leave that the way it is for right now and post a couple pictures of what I've done over the summer.  I"m also working diligently on my first commissioned cake.  Its a Groom's cake for my friend Marisa's wedding on Sat.  I can't tell you what it is cause its a surprise for the groom but it should be AWESOME!
Cake 1:  Watermelon!
Shannon's B-day Cake

I used a special pan by Betty Crocker (borrowed from a coworker) to make the dome cake, then simply overlaid with green fondant (left over from Myth-ing Cake) and painted it.  The coloring was made by flicking the brush right and left on a solid line that I painted down the sides from the center.
The next cake I made for Barbara's birthday at work.  She said she wanted something simple, so I did something simple.  A simple vegan chocolate cake filled with raspberry jam with chocolate buttercream frosting and fresh raspberries to garnish.  It took me like 2 hours!  Totally easy!
Everyone loved it and thought it was a bit over the top.  Hey, I call this simple!
Simple 2 layer.  Easy as a wink!



You can see my lack of talent for circle on square.  It wasn't centered very well and the corners of the square were not well done.  Its not my best work but it tasted GREAT!

Pretty yet simple.  At least that's what I thought.  Happy Birthday Barbara!
