Does anyone else decorate cakes or cupcakes just for fun? :grinnnn:
I started decorating a few years ago during the winter months, because I can make flowers out of frosting, when there are none outside to enjoy.
I had to take a break from it while we moved and got settled in here, and have just started again in the past weeks.
This is the cake I did today. It measures 6 inches across, and is two layers tall.

Sarah, that is sure pretty! You did a great job on it and it is small enough that you are not going to have tons of leftovers.

I've never heard of a 2 layer cupcake, so I guess it IS a cake! What I'd like to know is WHY you would make a 6" cake when there are 4 people in your household! That only gives each person a 1½" piece, & there won't even be any leftovers! :SmileyFit:
Well anyway, I think it's pretty enough, so I hope that whoever cuts it will feel bad about desecrating a piece of art! Your frosting flowers are sooo cool, & I like the idea of making flowers out of frosting when you can't go outside & play with the real ones! :clap: One of my teachers taught us how to do that in cooking class once, but I think I've forgotten how to do it, cuz I've tried to stay out of the kitchen as much as possible. :wink5:
When I've had to, I've made & decorated some pretty cute cakes for my kids when they were little, & they enjoyed the guitars, dinosaurs & Cinderalla cakes, or whatever was needed to match their party themes. Now, the only time I ever bake a cake is when I get a desperate hankerin' for hot devilsfood cake with a smathering of real butter! It's a wonder I don't weigh 300 pounds!

That looks like a good reason to make a small one to me!
That is a really pretty cake Sarah. My cousin made a ducky cake for her niece that was really cute.

:ThumbUp: Sarah, thats really pretty, you've done a great job!!!!!
Too bad we didnt live closer, cuz i know who i would be having to make my cakes for me :grinnnn: :grinnnn:.
Again......great job!!!
-
Sarah, that is a beautiful cake. The only thing I've ever managed to do is the little "ribbon" of frosting on the bottom and stars. But then again hand-eye coordination is not my strongest talent... That is just a beautiful cake, I'm surprised you let anyone cut into it.
-
Thank you for the compliments. I think my next atempt will be a fall cake, something with reds and oranges and yellows. Maybe some mums, if I can figure out how to make them.
After eating it for two days, there is still cake left over. I was sure that it would be gone by now...
-
Fall leaves would be pretty on or around a cake! Oooh, aaah.
-
Still some left........wow....guess they liked how pretty it looked too huh!!
-
:Wow: sarah! you did a awsome job!! i use to decorate cakes all the time,
what kind of icing is that? i never thought of doing the green icing like that, great idea!!! looks great n i bet it was eaisier than a bunch of grass tips over n over or smothing it all with a hot knife :ThumbUp:
:laugh1: now im getting the urg! may have to drag out all my tips n bags this weekend.
have you ever drew pitchures on a cake? i use to take pics out of coloring books to do, just let the icing set put a pice of wax paper over it then your pic, n take a needle n poke the lines and in the icing, then its lets play dot to dot with a bagie n tip to trace it all. the hardest one i ever did was bat man for rj when he was 5.
cant wait to see your fall cake!
-
