Just wanted to share

So I have been going to school, its mainly cake decorating/pastry & I love it! I have never said that about anything. Ive done medical front office, some billing, phlebotomy, & clerical and hated it. I mean I did well in school and when I found jobs I hated them. Ive only done two cakes so far, they're kind of cheesy but its mainly to practice with buttercream. I just wanted to share since DH is still at work and well Im alone eating hot pockets.    


This was my first



& this was today's





I know I still need lots of practice but I did just start. Thanks for looking!

I actually really like the first one..it looks like a professional cake decorator did that one..the second one is a tad bit cheezy but only for the fact that the lines look a little shaky...other then that they look great!

You did a really good job! =]

Thanks yeah thats how I feel about them as well. I get so used to working with royal icing the whole week and when I switch to butter cream or pastry pride, (which is what that is not what I posted in the OP), I get confused and use too much pressure.

Quoting .:Mary:.:" Thank you!"

Thanks and will do.  

JEALOUS! I'd love to do this as a job and you're really good!
I make them when I'm not working (I hate stupid office crap too) and make solid sugar animals and people cake toppers   TOO FUN!

My son's 1st birthday is Saturday and I'm trying to make a Finding Nemo cake :/

I'd love to find a job doing this but if not I'm still happy that I took this course. I won't be finished till next June so I still have a ways to go. & uhh take pics, I'd love to see how it turns out!

You can always do it on the side and make more money for events - I invented a chocolate cake recipe somehow and am regularly asked to make and sell them for birthdays and stuff.
The Nemo cake will be crap - I planned it all out but Thanksgiving was thrust upon me this year and I have to arrange my son's first birthday on Saturday. I'll try to put a pic up on my wall.

When is your sons birthday? Its my SIL's today but wants to celebrate tomorrow (which is my husbands birthday) now I have to plan something for DH on Saturday.

It's on Saturday so I have tonight to make the cake   because I'll be cooking all day tomorrow whilst babysitting 3 other kids (thanks mother for throwing that on me last minute). I see this cake being a massive blob of icing and Nemo figures   lol

Well happy early birthday to him, and I hope all turns out well  

Hey Mary. Your cakes look amazing. I am happy that you found something you love to do. Wishing you a bright successful future.
