Skull Baby Shower Cake

Well hello again everyone! Its been a while. Since my break from school I have been back to work making some cakes. This is a really cute baby shower cake i did for a good friend of mine. Enjoy!

Wedding Cake

This was a wedding cake that I did for a friend in my ward. At first when the idea of me making her a wedding cake was discussed i figured oh it will probably be something small but i was surprised when she told me she wanted a 5-tier cake! This cake was huge! I had to buy more pans, it took over 80 eggs, 20 lbs of fondant, 30 lbs of buttercream, and the list goes on. I'm sure you get the idea. It was a lot of work and time but it turned out beautiful. It was vanilla bean pound cake with raspberry buttercream.

Birthday Suprise

Well August is a super busy month for us. We have MY birthday, My dad's birthday, My grandpa's birthday, My parents anniversary, And our anniversary. Not to mention I am starting the radiology program which is a 40 hr/week course....pheeeew! Well for my birthday my husband bought me a stand mixer, yay!!! I can now make my own buttercream :) I have also been asked about my pricing a lot so I decided to finally put my pricing here on my blog, its on the side column. I am showcasing all of my cakes for the month of august with a brief story under each of them. hope you enjoy!

This is my paintball 16th Birthday cake. I made this cake in 24 hrs. notice!!! They wanted to combine getting in trouble with the cops and paint-balling so this is what i came up with. It took a little bit of thinking to figure out how to get the paintball splashes but finally figured it out.

So my dad turned the big 50, and of course we had to go all out! I made a 3-tier cake of all the things he loves. The top tier was actually on a motorized turntable so it rotated but of course it stops working right before my dad see's it. I sculpted the jeep out of rice krispies. And it was carrot cake with some cream cheese frosting. Yummy!!!

This cake was really fun! it was a 1st birthday safari cake. I did the zebra stripes but in brown tones. Added some palm trees, polka dots, and some cute little animals!

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.
