4 kudoz

my 40th birthday cake

Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Advanced Fondant Techniques »

Difficulty:

Category: Cake Decorating

Type of item: Food

For: Women

Style: Funky


Materials

lemon cake, chocolate and peppermint, red velvet, orange and almond

What was your inspiration?

I was inspired by Marina Sousa course. I am a beginner in cake decorating (I open my first supgarpaste packet on 18th March 2012) but I am totally in love with this sugar fantasy world!! I should probably start with something simpler and with standard shapes...but Marina Sousa make things looking great in a very simple way....Of course my cakes decorating skills have a lot to improve...but I hope one day to take some classes with Marina ...and you never know...

What are you most proud of?

I am not afraid to try creating what I have in mind.... hopefully one day it will turn out exactly how I had pictured...

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Work out you cake sizes before start baking! Probably someone with more experience knows this very well....
