Tonight
is the annual Roosevelt Sports Auction and I finished my cake for the
dessert dash last night as well. This one was tricky but with the help of my
mentor Andrea Manca we were able to make a very convincing replica of the cake
shown in my book. The table who chooses my cake at the auction will receive a feedback card I am very excited to see what they think!
P.S If you parents are going to the auction tell them to pick my cake and give me feedback!

Yesterday I finished my heart shaped cake for the ACC Josephine McDermott Circle Cake Walk. On Thursday I frosted it and covered it in pink fondant then on Friday I came home and iced it. I completed the cake with royal icing and delivered it to the event yesterday night. And while it doesn't look exactly like the plate my mom made for my dad, it was still perfect for the theme and they all really enjoyed it. I was told it was the second dessert chosen! A close second to the trophy cupcakes that were donated.

The cake I am making for the ACC Josephine McDermott Circle Cake Walk is a valentines themed cake! I modeled it after a plate that my mom painted for my day at Paint the Town one year for Valentines Day. here is what the plate looks like;
it is pale pink with black writing and indented hearts and swirls.
SOO... following a heart shaped cake model in my book The Essential Guide to Cake Decorating and carved my cake. I chose to do a four layer vanilla cake so that I could dye each layer a different shade of pink to create an ombre effect.
Tomorrow I will crumb coat it and frost it, then cover it in a pale pink fondant.

AHHH!! I have my next two cakes due this week! one on Friday for the ACC Josephine McDermott Circle, Cake Walk for a Cause, in which all proceeds benefit the Association for Catholic Childhood. MY mothers friend is a part of this group and I asked to donate a cake. my second cake is for the Roosevelt Annual Sports Auction, I am making a cake for the dessert dash. Today I started molding the sugar paste flowers and leaves for the Sports Auction cake. I started by rolling out white fondant ( a icing-like substances used to decorate or sculpt pastries) I cut them into pedal shapes and pinched them together and placed them in an egg carton to dry. Next I dusted them with pedal dust to look like yellow pollen. For the leaves I used the same cutter and this kneaded in some "avocado" green food coloring for a base green. I used a leave veiner and then let them dry in another egg carton. After that I mixed some green and brown food coloring with water and painted the leaves to make them darker. Now I must wait for them to dry (should take 2-3 days). Here are some pictures to give you an idea!
