wedding cake , originally uploaded by Taste of Bliss . Some very good friends of mine were married yesterday, and I had the pleasure of making their wedding cake! The design is something the...and white chocolate buttercream frosting. [And an unseen 10" red velvet cake with cream cheese filling and frosting that was waiting in the kitchen in case they ran out of cake. Which they didn't.]
Flower Cupcakes (Aka "Look out, he's got fondant, and he's not afraid to use it! ) This was a recipe of firsts for me; first time I've made cupcakes (well, since I was about knee-high to...until large enough to form centre of flowers.

I know it's not perfect but this is the biggest dang cake I've ever made, let alone decorated, and I wanted to share! I was asked to make this for the 15th anniversary of the LRP system I play in...pass it on. Before you fill your cake, pipe a line about 1/2" thick just insidethe edge of your bottom layer, then put your filling in and spread it up to the edge of your frosting dam. Brilliant!
So I tried my hand at using fondant tonight, so I thought I'd share how it turned out! Type your cut contents here. It was pretty fun, even if it was a lot harder than I wish it was. It was hard to roll out and move the fondant, and I didn't really carve the cake, so it did come out a little uneven on the sides. Overall I think it was okay for my first time!
I made these to take to the moviestonight. But with no black food colouring in the house, the characters were kind of limited. So, I tried to do Batsymbols, but I got frustrated and now it's just melted chocolate. x-posted a bit.
Last week was my first time assisting my friend Diane with a wedding cake! I helped frost (which I still need improvement on), rolled out all the fondant, and helped set up at the reception site. I'm... of course) on top of the cake! The bride herself was very non-zilla-ish, I'm happy to say. Diane said she was a delight to work with. I had so much fun! I can't wait until the next time I help her ..

My friends and I put on a gig night/party in South London last night. We've been doing them every month but as it's the summer now, and all the students have gone home, it was the last one we'll by doing... I can't possibly describe how much fun these were to do, and play with! By the way, sorry about the bad quality of some of these pictures, dark venue, no natural light, slightly drunken state etc etc
I spent most of my weekend doing two things: attending a local sci-fi and fantasy convention known as Baycon , and making the cake that lokis_mom requested for the convention's staff party last...so everyone knew what flavors were in each cake. This was my most complex cake to date, but I am extremely proud of how it came out. I've already volunteered to do another cake for next year
