Happy 30th Birthday Eugene!

My sweet husband turns 30 this thursday and his cake request was a pool table cake so here's what he got...

It was my first time working with fondant and I really like working with it but as far as eating it, I'd rather not.  It has no taste, I think the next time I use it I'll add some vanilla or almond extract to it to see if that will improve the taste.

My First Post

So this is my first post on my "Cake" blog and just so you know I'm pretty nervous about pursuing this whole cake decorating thing.  I mean, don't get me wrong I LOVE decorating cakes but I'm really just starting out and I would really love to take lessons and get some more experience before I take the full plung in making cakes for perfect strangers.

I am my worst critic BY FAR!!!  And I have always been worried about pleasing people so you have to understand that making something for people I don't know makes me a bit nauseous to think about but I'm trying to work through my fears.

Here are some pictures of the only cakes I've done so far.  Please keep in mind that the Spiderman cake was a practice cake and was not actually the cake for the Birthday boy (which happened to be my friend's son Jacob).

The first cake I ever made for my son's 3rd birthday

Jacob's 7th birthday cake

For my son's 6th birthday

For my Step dad's 50th birthday

My sweet husband will be turning 30 next month and has requested a "pool table cake".  EEEK!  I think he thinks I work for Charm City Cakes or something.  I'll let you know how that goes :)
