Charlotte's Web


Theme: Birthday Cake
Cake: Chocolate Butter Fudge
Icing: Chocolate Buttercream (The roof of the barn is vanilla buttercream)
Accents: Wilton Fondant

Tip: You know how red food coloring always seems to turn out pink... no matter how much you put in. Well, try adding a little cocoa powder. It dulls the metallic taste of red food coloring and makes it darker. Just add a little at a time until you get the color you want. And remember, food color in buttercream icing brightens as it is exposed to air.

Poinsettias




It has been a while since I have posted anything on the blog... I am hoping to change that soon. Due to a few BIG changes in life circumstances (a move, a baby, a husband in graduate school), I have had to put caking on hold. However, now that things are a little more settled, perhaps I can pull the tips, bags, rolling pins and cake pans back out.
