Well, my birthday is comming up and I am trying to decide if I should do a cake for myself or not. If I do I think it should be something that is different than I have done in the past and a little stretching in difficulty. I was thinking of just doing some simple coffee cupcakes cuz they're yummy but now that I think on it more (even as i'm typing) I should use it as a good excuse to practise. Yep, it's settled, I am going to make an elaborate cake for myself. So stay tuned for pictures!
On a side note, I am fairly busy making cakes for people. It is very exciting that people want to have me make their cakes for them!

First time with fondant
I was asked to make a 9x13 cake with a crown on it. I love it when I get to be creative and hopefully exceed peoples expectations. I wanted the cake to look like a pillow with two crowns on it. But in order to make it look like a pillow it needed to be smooth. So I decided to give fondant a try. It took longer than expected trying to get the consistency right but in the end I liked it and think i'll try making it again. The royal icing crowns were my favorite part, I was really nervous about them breaking but they came off the form with only a little breakage. I deliver it tomorrow so we'll see the reaction then!

Catering to the Public
Now that the Christmas holidays are over and I am sick of making squares, candy and cookies, I think I might be getting in the mood to start experimenting again. I received a few new pans and tools for Christmas and can't wait to try everything out!
So before I start baking up a storm, i'd like you to answer a question for me. What is or has been your favorite cake experience? Do you even like cake, and if not, what sort of dessert do you like?
