Baby Shower

This is one of the cutest cakes I have made. i say that only because i LOVED making the baby shoes! so fun! again Youtube was my teacher. This cake is for my best friend katie who is prego with her first little baby! She is so awesome in every way so she needed an awesome cake. Besides that cake we also made a baby diaper cake, also thanks to youtube. They are so fun to make! Anyway The orders keep on coming, hope i can keep up when school starts. chow for now.

Fiasco

Well lets just say I survived! In one week i made three cakes, worked full time, and got sick. Not only were they three cakes but two were for a wedding! they all turned out so fun though! the sand is brown sugar on both cakes. the kids at the wedding kept eating it off the table, hilarious!...until they shoved a seashell in my cake, and put fingerprints on the helmet...then i was furious! all in all they turned out great. Can you tell which flowers are real and fake? if not the lillies are from my garden and rest are gumpaste. As holly (the bride) put it. they are my special "Affey make flowers". i also made a mini version of Travis's base. he's in the band called Carlos Cornia, they are really good check them out!

Bridal Shower

Now this cake is pretty special. I made this cake for one of my best friends bridal showers. There is a cool story about her and her husband. They have been together since the 8th grade! He moved away to college for a year, then went on a mission for 2, and they still ended up together. Now i call that true love. The cool feathers on the cake i made out of wafer paper. There's also edible diamonds on the cake as well. the flowers are from gumpaste

Cake class

So my mom and I finally decided it was time for me to take a cake class. Since i had learned everything from the internet i wanted to make sure i wasn't missing anything. So we took an Advanced Cake Decor class from Orson Gygi. This is the finished product from the class. Although the instructors tips were nice, i definitely felt that the class was a waste of time. Oh well, at least i got a cake out of it! And i think i will stick to my own wa of doing things, i find it works much better.

Jungle Shower

This cake was so much fun! It was for a baby shower. Hot pink and Zebra were the colors. I also made all the characters on top. the babies name is Gracie. I rolled some black fondant out and cut little pieces to apply to the zebra tier. Black fondant is so yummy! it tasted like a tootsie roll. And just like I had predicted they didn't cut the cake. That's what happens when they are too cute to cut! Its kind of funny, Most people think i would hate to watch a cake that i spent so much time on making , get cut. But it is actually the most satisfying thing for me. I want my cakes to look good and taste good too.

Orange Creamsicle Recipe

These cupcakes are delish! And yes you heard right, i am sharing the recipe with you. Its very easy. You get a french vanilla cake mix and substitute the water for orange juice. If desired you can zest some orange peel. I use whipped cream frosting for the finish and some decorative candies to top it off. Try them out, you wont regret these babies.

Smash Cake

This is a smash cake for a 1 yr. Birthday. I made 2 dozen glitter cupcakes to go with them, The bow is made from fondant. There is a art to getting a buttercream cake perfectly smooth. Most people think buttercream is easier, but in fact its not. Butter cream can be heated under fondant smoothing underneath making the cake more formable. But buttercream by itself is actually hard to get perfectly smooth, and after smoothed is very easy to nick. Ok so there you have it. just some wise advice on cakes :)

High Speed

Wow! where has time gone? I have been going, going, going lately! I was accepted into the radiology program, working like crazy, and bakin cakes. But i love every minute of it. Ill be posting my cakes soon....
