Hired for a Cake

This is a cake I was "hired" by a co-worker to make for another co-worker who also happened to interview me while I was applying for my job. This was a fun cake to make although I was nervous since it was the first time I was making a cake for money. I was mostly concerned about writing in frosting and I think it would have actually come out better if I wasn't so hesitant about it. I use to write on cakes when I worked at a bakery in high school but that was forever ago. I need to practice.

Cake Course 3

These are cakes I made from my Wilton Cake Course 3. The first cake was suppose to look like the top of a funky 70's wedding cake. This is probably my least favorite cake I've made but we learned several different techniques during this class.

The gift box cake was very cool and my first time using fondant. It was not too difficult but the down side of fondant is that it does not taste very good. It's rather bland, in fact. I told my guinea-pigs at work to just peal it off before they ate the cake.


The final cake I designed myself. I did not use fondant but I added some royal icing lillies that I painted with white pearl dust. I loved how it came out but if I did it again I would definitely add some piping gel to my frosting so my cornelli lace would come out smoother.
