Cakes are Art too!
Everyone loves a tasty desert, I personally like making them! For the past two years I've been making my friends birthday cakes. I plan on going to school for it, and would love to know what everyone thinks!
July 2006 - Katamari Cakes
I made these Cakes for Lisa's 19th birthday. The text reads "Happy Birthday Risa."
It took me a day and a half to make the two cakes.
July 2007 - Deathstar Cake
This Cake was for Reesu's 20th Birthday.
Took me a day to make just the one cake. It was fairly hard to get the icing to suitable shades of gray, and black was nearly impossible.
September 2007 - Fleur De Lis Cake
A Birthday cake I made for my close friend Dahlia. The cake is decorated with pure white and dyed red fondant. It's topped with a white Fleur De Lis with a red etched pattern throughout.
The blanket it sits upon is made with dyed red fondant. I used a set of stencils to created a semi-ornate pattern on the surface and to round-out the edges.
Time to make: 3 Hours
July 2007 - Kingdom Hearts Cake - Sora's Necklace
I made this cake for a girl named Emily I recently met through Reesu. It happened to be her birthday the day after I met her to do some fabric shopping. I offered to do a cake and she requested Sora's necklace to be the topper.
I wasn't too pleased with the end result, but she liked it!
Used:
Rolled White Fondant and food Coloring
Red Velvet Cake
Royal Frosting under Fondant
Show me your cakes! I'd love to see them!

They are 100% edible... though to tell the truth, fondant tastes like crap.
Has anyone ever had it?

I've been thinking about opening commission on cakes... The only problem would be that the person would only get a picture.
I need practice though.

@Sagitar: Thanks sweetie! Do you have a picture of your Strawberry cake? I'd love o see it!
@raszala: Fondant is a thick frosting that you roll out. It has the consistency of play-dough and tastes like a mix between marzipan and really bad sugar cookie dough. <_<
Not good at all.

Fondant is sugar and water mixed together to make many things. It's used in the center of piece of a chocolate buttercream candy, it's a type of icing that can be used to cover a cake to decorate it (which is what she is using it as in this case).
I'm told it tastes good, but I think it depends on how it is made or if you buy already bought, it may depend on the brand.

Oh, I forgot to mention:
Your cakes are absolutely amazing. Such great skill. I have tried making cakes like that, but I still need a lot of practice. And I don't have fondant.

Cake is definitely art and those cakes are amazing! They look delicious too! I am so bad at that sort of thing. Mine would be a Death Star after it had been blown up.
By the way my birthday is in February. ;)

How do you make the icing so ...what's the word...bold? The color really stands out, almost looks like paint...
*shifty eyes* maybe it is paint?
I'd still eat it.

There's a way to dye fondant with food coloring. I actually took some progress pictures, have a look.
