Horse Riding Cake
















Made this cake for a little girl that just loves horses. At the same time she's learning how to horse back ride. This was my 2nd fondant cake. It was hard to try and roll the fondant long enough to cover the whole cake. Also the 1st time that I learned how to use patchwork cutters. The details of the horses, I made with a molding tool. I matched the colors of the cake with the colors of the little girl's party. Cake is orange cake with buttercream frosting.

Baby Blocks







This was a babyshower cake that I made for a British friend. She was here in Danmark because her husband is an exchange pilot. She's never had a babyshower, so us Americans decided to throw her one. She was so happy; she like the games, food, cakes & gifts. She even said her friends back in the UK were jealous she had a babyshower. First time for me to make fondant stand for the blocks.

Gone Fishing
















I made this cake for my husband's 32nd birthday. This was just my 2nd fondant cake. I'm still learning how to work with it & be able to mold with it. My husband likes to go fishing, although he never really catches anything. I wanted to make him a cake & this is what I came up with. I was impressed as this was my 2nd try at working with fondant :)

4th of July Cake











1st Fondant Cake!!!




This was my very 1st fondant cake!!! I went back home (USA) for a visit & got caught up in all the hipe about cakes. Its amazing what can be done. I wanted so bad to learn so that I could make my daugther's 1st birthday cake. I went online & found out how to make fondant (it was hard). Then I just started to put things together. I have a long way to go from the pros, but I manage to make a 4th of July cake for a party here in Danmark. There's a group us Americans here & we have to celebrate home holidays. It was a hit & my friends where surprised at what I did. I'm really hoping to master or at least get better at making cake using fondant.
