Fountain of Love
This is one of my favorites, not because of the great difficulty, only because it looked so crisp.
Hearts & Roses
This was my first attempt using fondant and serving 300 plus.
Tying the Knot
Learned a lot on this cake. Assembling a cake this size at the reception hall requires a lot of time.
Filigree and Flowers
I actually liked the way this cake turned out, but I spent hours trying to cover the chocolate cake with icing, before I gave up and put fondant on it. Went to Wal-Mart 4 times during the night to get icing supplies and then fondant.
Bouquet of Red Roses
This was my first cake that I made for an actual wedding.
50th Anniversary with Scrolls
This was a lot of fun to do. The scrolls were easy to do and setting it up was fun also. I made the topper because I couldn't find one that I liked.
Golden Roses for a Golden Anniversary
A lot of roses, but by the time I was done, I had no problem making roses. I made this topper also.
Pink Gum Paste Roses
I loved these roses and leaves. Was not pleased with the icing job. The bride did not want fondant or a border. I have since learned about using Viva paper towels to smooth the icing. This method not only smoothes the icing, but you can also round the edges to make it look a lot like fondant. I spent about 40 hours making the roses and leaves. Although the picture does not show how delicate they were, the petals were not any thicker than real rose petals.
Two Tone Gum Paste Roses
Gum paste roses were brushed with non-toxic chalk. The icing was smoothed with Viva paper towel.
The Winner
This was the cake I made for my final Wilton's Course III. I won first place. I was so proud. The design was my own in that I used a different decoration method on each level and then had white petunia cascading down the tiers.
First Tiered Cake
This is a simple cake made during Course III.
