This week's featured chef is Duff Goldman, star of the show The Ace of Cakes. He owns Charm City Cakes which produces the most amazing cakes. They have a very talented staff! An Ace of Cakes books just hit the stores as well (which I browsed through during a Fancy Nancy party at Borders). I started cake decorating a few years ago while making cakes for my daughters. I never thought I'd make them for others but now make cakes for friends and family. I haven't taken classes but learn everything about cake decorating from YouTube. With each cake I learn something new. I even started a cake decorating blog, Sarah Bakes. I am a big fan of marshmallow fondant and make my figures out of it (sometimes with added gum paste if I want them to harden). Yesterday I posted my favorite crusting buttercream recipe. What a fun hobby it is becoming!
Here is the race car cake and cupcakes I made for a party this weekend:
So what have you been decorating?? Link your post to MckLinky below. Next week's chef is Ellie Krieger.
That's so cute! I'm afraid mine isn't that great.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool! I love how you incorporated the cupcakes into the big cake =D
ReplyDeleteI know you ask me to do this but I did not have a chance. Plus a cake to look like yours. That is just amazing. I did make cookies last night and I was so proud of myself. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteyou are so talented!! I enjoy looking at your cake blog every once and a while too :)
ReplyDeleteFrom one cake decorator to another...THAT looks awesome:-)
ReplyDeleteI totally didn't get any decorating done this week. I was going to get my Christmas cookies done and posted, but I did get last week's recipe done. The chicken stew was yummy.
ReplyDeleteHi everyone,
ReplyDeleteFor this assignment I made a heart cake that you can read about on my blog, Sabbath Supper. Here's the URL: http://sabbathsupper.blogspot.com/2009/12/cake-for-mary-immaculate-heart-cake.html
The MckLinky is closed for some reason so I wasn't able to add my link. I can't wait to see what you all will be doing for Ellie Krieger!
Sincerely,
Rebekah
