Summer cake!

Long time no blog.....I have been busy making gum paste orchids and other flowers that I like to keep on hand. This week I was inspired by a friend who had a request for a flip flop cake. I thought what a great idea for summer time! The possibilities are endless with this cake....it can be customized by the choice of colors and changing the print on the flip flop. She loves zebra print and it is so popular right now I thought what a great idea to incorporate it in the cake! I chose bright summer colors and made a pair of gum paste sunglasses that was super fun to make! I wanted to add a tropical flair so I added a gum paste orchid in a yellow and pink color that I think added that special touch. I'm Looking forward to more cake creations!

My cake adventures!

BUZZZZZ!....That's the sound of my mind right now and I haven't even drank my morning coffee!lol  It's going a million miles a minute on all these ideas for cakes! I think I have rekindled  the passion I once had with cake decorating....but to be able to take it to the next level with fondant is amazing! I would call it my new medium to use in my artistic expression. I am also currently working on my own designs for fondant molds. I treat each cake like art...I want it to be unique and different and put my own artistic stamp on it. I'm really excited about the cake I'm working on currently...it's a cake for my niece's first birthday....a fairy theme cake! How appropriate for a sweet cutie pie!  I will keep you posted on cakes and will post more pictures. Wish me luck!
