Anywho... I got all my materials out and ready to go but had a hard time deciding where to start. I did not want to use the special, vivid food coloring that I have fir the Spiderman Cake, as I had already used some for the practice cake; so I decided to just make cakes and cupcakes and practice with my decorating tips, and use the other food coloring I had. I used a total of two cake mixes (although in the future I want to make my batter from scratch).
With the batter, I made a total of 12 regular size cupcakes, 24 mini cupcakes, 5 mini (6in) cakes, and one 8in round cake.
The decorating was a daunting task, haha. I had gotten a little bit of Fondant to play around with (I've never used it before) so I iced and froze three mini cakes ( a single and double) so I could place the fondant on the cake better.
While they were in the freezer I got my icing colored and bagged, ready for my cakes. I decided to do a spring theme, lots of flowers, the easiest things to make with the tips I have. I am still just a beginner, for now...
Cupcakes with mini chocolate chips
Many mini cupcakes to make a flower and mini flowers too!
The big round and last two little round cakes I put together and just make a flower bouquet.
I tried to make a little web, and it is ok, but not that great.
After I made all that stuff, I pulled out the frozen mini cakes and tried my hand at fondant. It turned out ok, but I have a lot to learn about how to decorate with it.
All my creations at the end, minus a few cupcakes that my brother-in-law ate.
