Roses, make up bag, and Kailan cakes!

This cake was for an anniversary. I was given a picture of the cake to use as a guide. This was my first time making fondant flowers so it was a bit tricky. I found some tutorials online to help, but i felt as if each rose was taking long so I bought a rose making kit from Wilton. It made each rose a lot faster. I then used royal icing to make the vines/branches. The leaves were a bit tricky because I did not have a cut out for that leaf. I had to print out a picture and use it as a guide to cut out each rose.

This make up bag cake was created for God daughter/niece for her birthday. Since she was turning thirteen i wanted to make it girly and a bit grown up. I found a pic of this cake online and decided to duplicate it. For the make up bag, i used a 6in round cake and cut off a piece to give it a purse shape. I did not cover this cake with fondant, instead a template of each side and cut fondant to that size then created the stitch design then froze it and then placed it on each side it the cake. All in all, it came out great!


This has been my most challenging cake thus far. To create each character takes lots of time and patience. I printed out various pictures of the characters on the Nickelodeon website and traced them on parchment paper. The tricky part was that I needed to trace each piece separately, for example, on kai lan i traced her hair, then to the side her shape of her head, then each circle of her eye, etc... Then used each piece as a stencil over the fondant.



I bought a clay tool to use to create the string of the balloon. I am unsure the name of it but it has disc's that you insert to squeeze through the size shape of the string to come out of. This was the first time using it and I will continue to use it because creating a same size string free handed is extremely difficult.
