Wedding cake

For my class we had to make a wedding cake. I Wanted to go for more of a simple look because thats who i am....not that simple though...

I had all my peices ready, i just had to put them all together. I doweled the bottom two layers after icing and covering them fondant. I put them all together and then wrapped them in ribbon.


I punched out hundreds of flowers and hand glued each one on. It took forever to place them exactly as i liked but it came out good.


The final Project!

Pastilliage Chef

Pastilliage is like a clay but made out of sugar. It dried out very quickly and becomes very fragile. When in Competition, the thinner you make your pastilliage, the more of an expert you are thought to be. But the stuff breaks so easy!

We painted our peices with food coloring

Peanut butter and chocolate cake

This is the cake I made on a very snowy day. It was an amazing chocolate cake that turned out great! I made it from the Fannie Farmer Cook book (unknown edition). It was so moist and the perfect amount of chocolate. I then topped it with Peanut butter, butter cream. So it was peanut buttery but not overwhelming.


I pipped the top with melted chocolate to make it look prettier.


This was the finished product. The cake was super moist and still a bit warm when i cut into it so it turned a little crumbly but it was soo good!!

Apple pie

Apple pie is such a good soul food for me! I could eat a whole pie myself! I also made pinwheels with the left over dough.

Pinwheels:

  1. Roll dough out like you would a crust and spread a nice layer of butter on the dough.
  2. Then sprinkle with a heavy dose of cinnamon and sugar and then roll up into a log and cut into 1 inch pieces.
  3. Turn over so the spiral is showing and put in the oven with the pie and cook until they are golden brown on top. Should only be about 10 minutes.
