Jessica's Wedding Cake!

I was very honoured to be asked by my great friend Jessica to make the cake for her special day!  The three tiered cake was covered with fondant and then laced with buttercream.  Yellow roses are her favourite and were part of the decor theme, so it was only fitting that they covered the cake, along with some blue and yellow ribbon.

Congratulations Jess and Jerome and thanks for letting me be part of your special day!  I wish you much happiness in the years to come.

My First Official Wedding Cake!!

While last week was full of a little nerves and stress, I am so thrilled to say that I made my first official wedding cake and it went off rather smoothly.  I was definately very proud seeing it all finished on the cake table during the reception.  Hours of hard work planning and preparing had paid off and I was thrilled that it was for a great friend and his beautiful new bride.

 Thanks Errin & Heather for trusting me with creating your wedding cake and helping with the photography.  Your day was beautiful and I hope it was more than you ever dreamed it could be.  Congrats again!!

Wilton Course 3, Final Tiered Cake

I began working on this cake long before the day of class. The first step was to make LOTS of fondant roses in a variety of sizes. I had searched online and found several cakes that I was inspired by. The cake consisted of a 6" round cake on top of a 10" round cake. Each cake was approximately 4" high. I covered both of the cakes in Fondant, and then did some scroll work with white Royal Icing. I placed a white fondant ribbon along the bottom of each cake, and then had a white fondant ball border at the base of each cake.

I really enjoyed making the roses and look forward to using them again in the future. I look forward to making them in a variety of colours too.


This was the first tiered cake that I have made. I am quite happy with the results but look forward to making more in the future to use some of the new skills that I learned.

I had used dowels to support the tiers of this cake, but I decided that I would like to use the pillars that I had gotten in my course kit, just to try something different. This was the result:

Another time I would have more roses to place on top of the bottom cake, but I was simply using the flowers from the original cake.  I decided to reorganize the flowers to make a cake similar to the one that is shown on the Course 3 Booklet. Again, I used the same cakes, not with the pillars, and made the following cake. It just goes to show the variety of cakes that are available with very similar features.

I look forward to one day being able to create a cake for someone's special occasion!
