Tiger Lillies! (:


Tonight was the last night of my cake class :( We made tiger lillies :) It was my first time making them and it was pretty hard...this is my first one ever made :)...i know its not the best but it was my first time making them and I think I did pretty good for my first time :)   P.S The corner on one of my petals broke because I was taking it home from my class but my container wasn't big enough to hold it so I couldn't put the lid on it...well i was getting in the car when the wind blew and it blew it right out of the container and when it hit the floor it broke the tips of two of my little petals :(..I will admit I teared up alittle :(

2012 Spring Fling!

This year my school is hosting a semi-formal dance for the first time! The dance is March 15th and the theme is Paris Under The Stars. They are having a formal student do the photos and they wanted food sooooo....they asked me to provide the food! My teacher (the one in charge of the dance) said I could bring whatever I want and the school would pay for all the ingredients I need to make the treats,they are also going to provide me with my own table to put the treats on. The table will be scattered with my own business cards! My teacher said this will be a great way for the parents to start talking about me....I'm making a 3 teired cake,cupcakes,cookies,and chocolate covered pretzels! A parent will watch my table and sell the things I make,all the money earned from the goodies will go back to me! It's been very stressful so fair,it's all I think about and I think I've changed the design of my cake at least 25 times now but I think I finally have the perfect design! I have to make around 75 to 100 cupcakes,75 to 100 cookies,and aroung 50 pretzels. It's gonna be alot of work but I'm ready for the challenge!

Chocolate Pops!

I started selling these chocolate pops at my school along with the cupcakes and brownies and my social studies teacher liked them so much she ordered ten of them and she put them on display at her family's Christmas party!

Cupcakes For Sale!

During this past holiday season I would make brownies and minnie cupcakes and sell them at my school. These are a few of the things I brought in :)

Hard at work!

Me working on my cake

Close ups!




First time working with fondant!

Two of me and mamaws creations! I used fondant for the first time on these cakes! (I think I did pretty good for my first time ;)

Pretty in Pink!

This is the cake I made at the last cake class I took.
For my birthday I was signed up for cake classes(from my mamaw and papaw). I would go every Thursday night for 2 hours. I took my classes through Wilton and  have done 2 out of the 4 classes. On the last day of every class we had to decorate a cake with the things we learned that session. This is the cake I made at the end of my first class. :)

My First!

This is one of my first creations. Me and my mom worked on it together...we made it Easter 2010!

How it all began...

You may be wondering how I found my love for baking...well it's simple! My mamaw loves to bake as well and she shared that love with me and now we bake together as much as we can! She is my inspiration and my number one supporter! I love her very much!
