I just posted New Photos

Finally after some busy weeks I made myself sit
down and post new photos. Hope you enjoy them. Soon I will post some photos from Ices and OSSAS.
It was great to be able to go to this 2 shows.
I am so happy, my cake was displayed in American Cake  Decorating Magazine. I love the magazine. For those who love to learn, they have tips and explain things step by step. Go to their website and check it out!

Let's Cut The Cake!

   This month, I had one of the most time-consuming cakes I have ever done. The cake consisted of layers that looked like they had been cut in wedges. I spent nine hours decorating using fondant swirls, ribbon roses, pearls, and sugar crystals. This cake was all about the details!  I hope you enjoy it!
Thanks...
Edna

July is Gone!

Oh my God! I can't believe another month is gone. I sat down today and added my latest photos that I haven't been able to upload. I figured that I would add them to my regular pages and then add them to a new page in my website, "New Photos".  Is my New Photos link.
When you visit my site, it will be easier to find the newest photos.
This is one of my favorite cakes of this month. Hope you enjoy!

How to Ice a Round Cake

       I just posted a video on how to ice a cake on YouTube.
So many people have asked me how I ice my cakes and here
it is, a fully-detailed explanation on how I do it.  It takes some
practice to get a perfect buttercream, but I do give hints on how I
do it. With some practice, you might be able to do it this way too.
There is no need of water or hot spatulas. You can visit my YouTube homepage if you want and subscribe for more videos on how I work.

Hope you enjoy!...
Thanks for Watching!!..

Another Filmstrip on YouTube!






I sat down and took time to do another filmstrip. Here is another post for my YouTube collection, more pictures of my cakes. Go to YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKumjfIJZNg and leave some comments there too!
It's fun to sit down and play with the photos.
I got many good reviews from colleagues, friends, and family, so I may make another filmstrip of my earlier cakes. Stay tuned!

Thanks for looking!

Oh, those Purses!

weddingcont/purse.jpg









Purse Cakes are very much in Fashion now. They are so much fun since there are so many styles of purses around. You can design your own style, standing up or laying down. You can add accessories too.
Even though the rhinestones on this one are not edible, there are companies that actually sell edible jewelry.
This purse was a last minute order and they wanted some Bling.
Like diamonds...."Purses are a girls best friend!"

In Search of Knowledge
 



This is what happens when you have some free time, and find things to play with on your computer. This girl found some powerful toys!
I've been taking a small break form work, before my worst  month..June!.. I saw the Movie Maker in my computer programs and discovered, very quickly, you can make a really cool slide show. 
After playing with it for a bit and finding some really cool music, this
is how my slide show looks. I decided to post it to YouTube. Well, a girl's got to be proud of her work right?
I hope you like it..You can leave me a coment in YouTube, if you wish..

Central Florida Fair Competition

cakes/ribbon.jpgI've never been in a cake competition before. I found out about the Central Florida Fair at the very last minute and  I decided to do it. I had only five days to do this cake in a week that I already had 11 weddings to do. Sometimes your passion can make you do crazy things!
I didn't know what I wanted, but I knew I wanted something different.
I decided on a Tuscan design.
I was entering the wedding division and wanted a cake that was tall and made a big impression, yet being my first competition, I didn't know what was best.
It was an interesting ride. I will post more photos in my "News and Info." page. Next year, I want to invite my students to participate in the competition. It is a good way to push yourself. There are different divisions: Amateurs, Youth, Professionals, etc.
I took the Tuscan to the fair Sunday afternoon after my 11-Wedding-Cake week. On the following Saturday night, I went to the fair with my family and was so excited when I saw 2 ribbons. I had won First Prize in the Wedding Cake Division and Best In Show. I never expected the second one! I hope you can join this competition next year!...
Press the photo to link you to the Central Florida Fair Page were you can
find more cake photos of the competition.

My favorite cake of the week!
                                                              squarefun.JPG


This cake was so interesting to make. The bride wanted a funky cake with the looks of a Topsy Turvy, but
in a square cake. The colors: orange, yellow, neon green and hot pink make this cake stand out.

I love the typical white cake, but sometimes it's nice
to see brides thinking out of the box and making their wedding cakes special to their own needs.
It is your day.. Have fun!

Welcome to My New Website Blog
I decided this month to play a bit with websites and see if I could open one to showcase my cakes. I love designing and decorating cakes.  I teach Wilton classes too. I hope that people comimg to visit will leave me coments. I love to help as much as I can. Creating cakes is my passion.

In my website, you will see original cakes and others. Some brides bring their favorite cakes photos to me and I strive to make their wishes come true. One of my favorite cake designers is Collette Peters and you will find a copy of one of her designs too.

The website is for people to enjoy my work and get ideas. If you have questions I would love to answer them. Leave me coments, sign my guestbook,
and let me know how I can make my site a better one.

Hope you enjoy..
Edna
