Open on a full stomach....lots o' cake!

As I mentioned in my other thread, I'm going to culinary school full time now to become a pastry chef. I thought I'd share a few pictures of cakes that I've made.

Enjoy.

One of my first cakes from my Wilton classes.

Just some random cakes from school...

Those are great! I really love the last one. :)

My mom took a Wilton class YEARS ago when I was about 8 years old. She taught me some techniques and I made my own American Flag for the 4th of July one year. It's a lot of fun! And now days they have more techniques to teach. lol

Keep up the good work! :D

Mmmm lip smacking! And you are really doing WELL!

I took a Wilson course at Micheal's and REALLY enjoyed it. Problem was, as I lived alone, I was the one EATING all my "homework." Then Dad moved in and being diabetic, my cake making days were over. I gave all the stuff to a good friend of mine who makes cakes for special occassions for people.

Your "samples" look terrific!

What's the name for that last type of icing? I forget!

Great-looking cakes! We watch "Ace of Cakes" and some of those are amazing, too.

I was always the cake-decorater in my family, as Ma *wanted* pretty cakes, but couldn;t draw to save herself. So by the age of about 4, she'd have me draw on the cake with a toothpick, and she'd then trace it with frosting. When I was old enough, I got to wield the frosting myself!

Oh my goodness! Those are Scrumptious!!!

I can't decide which ones I like best! You've got talent!

As for handwriting.... dear Debbi, you need practice! LOL. Practice makes perfect, and with your talent for the roses and borders, I'm sure you'll develop a gorgeous flowing writing style in no time.
