Past Fun

This is my first attempt at a ganache cake. It is a marble chocolate vanilla cake, with a milk chocolate ganache frosting.




This is my first attempt at a fondant triple layer cake. It is a homemade pound cake with lemon, raspberry, and blueberry fillings. It has butter-cream frosting and fondant on top. The flowers and ribbon are cloth and not gum paste. That is one of my next projects. :)



This is my first ever attempt at using fondant! It was for BYU's homecoming. I outlined and filled the Y's with butter-cream frosting. It is a basic yellow cake with strawberry filling.




This was made for a talent show. A friend of mine from Norway came to me with some marzipan from home and asked me to do something cool with it. This is what I came up with. It is a whimsical cake with multi-colors and shapes. It is a french vanilla cake with chocolate mousse filling. Not only was this my first try with marzipan (which, by the way, is amazingly easy to work with and sooooo much tastier than fondant.) it was my first attempt at mold-able chocolate. This has a very very dark version under the marzipan and it creates the very sharp edges.



This cake is one of my favorites. It was made for a kindergarten party that my friends had thrown. My project for this was to use rice crispy treats. The crayons are made of them and then covered with fondant. The cakes are either white or chocolate. The decorative frosting was butter-cream dyed. :)
