Nothing But Winners in this Gallery
Contributed by: Evelyn Moore (Elk Grove, CA)
I make cakes as a hobby. I
give my cakes as presents to friends and family. I love
using Fondant because it is very easy to make and handles
really well.
I don't go for the "simple"
look. It would feel like the cake is not finished. Last
year I won in the 2005 California State Fair Cake
Show/Competition. It was mainly judged on taste, flavor,
texture and over all, but I decorated my cake anyway,
although looks didn't count. That was my very first time
entering in the State Fair, but I won First Place (Blue
Ribbon), Best of Show, Best of Class and Best of Division.
I hope to do it again this year. I also won First place two
years in a row, 2004 and 2005 in the baking contest in my
city, Elk Grove, CA, in the Pumpkin Harvest Festival baking
contest (taste, originality and presentation, not
decorating). I will be entering the the Cake Decorating
Contest in May 2006 in the Sacramento County Fair..I have
never entered in a Cake Decorating Contest, that's why I am
so excited. My husband
eats my experiments, including my failures.
He is my judge
at home on my baking. Thank you

 Hoops

I made this cake for my
nephew's 16th birthday. I used the sports ball pan for the
ball and a 10" cake for the basket. All of it is decorated
with Italian Buttercream and it's filled with Baileys
Chocolate Mousse.
Thanks for letting me share with you!

Oyster
Contributed by: Cailean Kohagen (Seattle, WA)
 I
wanted to send a photo, attached to this email, to share my
"most beautiful project." Recently my mother-in-law turned
50 and I wanted to make her something to eat to make her
feel special. I thought making an oyster with a pearl would
be a nice way to say she's a pearl after 50 years. :) I took
a tortilla, baked it upside down on a foil ball to create a
bowl. I then melted white chocolate and covered the tortilla
with melted chocolate and tried to swirl it a little to
create a nice pattern. I then put a little melted dark
chocolate on one end because I noticed in a lot of photos of
oyster shells, on one end is where the top shell broke off
and it leaves a dark lip on that end. I took some blue pearl
dust and brushed it on the whole thing. To make the pearl I
simply made some white chocolate plastic and molded that
into a ball and also brushed with dust. The starfish are
made with a starfish candy mold and swirled white/dark
chocolate or white chocolate and peanut butter.
Thanks!! Cailean
Confirmation Cake
 Contributed by: Susan (MA)
Here's
a confirmation cake. I didn't want to make it to frilly, it
was for a young man and woman. The cross is
marshmallow fondant. I found a picture of the cross on line
and printed it out in the size I needed. I put the image on
top of the fondant and poked holes in it to get the outline
on the fondant, then I used a razor knife to cut it out. The
cross is painted with gold luster dust. The customer was
very happy. I also did a pocketbook cake using the make up
molds for the same customer.
