(Mostly) Wordless Wednesday: Cake!

Oh yes… I have been busy in the kitchen since I've been MIA this summer lol…  Ok, not exactly THAT busy… I have baked 3 cakes since the last “cake update” lol…
1) my first (homemade marshmallow) fondant and gum paste cake
2) a cake that I took to a cookout my husband and I were invited to and
3) my mom’s birthday cake!!! 
This post is going to be pictures of the fondant and gum paste flower cake! :)

***All of my cakes, fillings, and icings are made from scratch

Cake Details: 
     - Chocolate cake
     - Chocolate mousse filling
     - With fresh strawberries
     - Dirty iced with Hershey's cocoa chocolate fudge icing
     - Covered in homemade marshmallow fondant
     - Decorated with gum paste calla lily flowers

*Note* I think I rolled the fondant out too thin… it didn’t turn out as pretty as I had envisioned it in my head, but it definitely tasted better than the fondant you buy in the store :)

As always you can click on the picture to enlarge it :)

  4. That's a gorgeous cake! I am an amateur cake maker and decorator. I made a red velvet cake for a baby shower and it was so much fun! I had a blast driving into the city and picking up supplies and shopping all the cute little decor items. It can be addicting!

  12. Holy canoli! I am so impressed! I mean the only cake I've ever made was a spice cake from a box and then I bought frosting in that plastic container and tried to spread it over the top - and of course served it all from the pan I baked it in. You are so talented!!
