I'm going to take all the credit for this one (even thought the girls helped put the 'beads' on the crown) This was for a little girl in my ward. I made the beach cake for her sister back in September. Anyway the crown is gumpaste and I used a foam crown for my template. I wanted it to be thicker, but the gp wouldn't cut properly so I had to keep rerolling it to get it to the right thickness. I wrapped it around a big cup and let it dry overnight. Then we glued on pink pearl and silver non pareils. I'm not impressed with the drop strings on the side. I used Wilton's glitter gel and everytime I use it I think to myself, 'I know it won't be a gloppy mess.' But that's what I always end up with. I'm willing to try the gels one more time....so I haven't given up hope just yet. Anyway, this was a chocolate cake with buttercream icing. I used vanilla and almond extract for the flavoring. (BTW - I almost always use that flavor combo.)
For the next (or last) 3 pictures, the cakes shown will be decorated using Wilton's Punch Cut Decorate Line and Sugar Sheets. This is there answer (my opinion only!) to the Circuit Cake machine. It's alot of fun too and I can't wait to get the new book specifically about this line.
Ok on to the cakes.....
This masterpiece is Emily's. She used the butterfly and flower punches.
Sophia created this heart and spiral masterpiece.
I'm so proud of both of my girls and their creativity and their patience with me while I 'played' with my new toys.
Lastly, this is one I made a few weeks ago for my mom's birthday. I used the diamond boarder punch. Again, I really like the simplicity of the punches and am impressed with the pieces I have from this product line.
