I showed up for my class with a 9” by 3 1/2 “ square filled cake and a few ideas of what to make. I decided on a running shoe since my cake wasn’t quite big enough for a large purse and I thought a shoe would be a somewhat easy but challenging first project.
My class introduced me to some other great aspiring and practicing cake decorators. I met Carolyn who also has a blog It’s a sweet thing. She created a fabulous hamburger cake.
Some other cakes included a bulldog (I wasn’t quite that brave) a Chanel purse, a piggy bank and a high heel shoe.
After spending about 8 hours carving, covering, and decorating my shoe I was pretty happy with the result.
My next cake, the statue of David... kidding.

Hey Anna,
ReplyDeleteIt was nice to meet you at this class. Your cake was awesome!
I didn't get the chance to see exactly how you did it and have a few questions... can you email me so I can pick your brain a little.
Thanks for your kind words :)

yes, sometimes I do get sick of smelling sugar. That's ok though, it keeps my waist trim :)
ReplyDeleteAmazing! I love your sneaker and the Chanel purse is wonderful. That is a wonderful class to take. Maybe they want to come and do some classes here? In Helsinki it is impossible to find a nice cake for a child or any sort of novelty cake anywhere. An ordinary cake that serves 15 will cost you 50 to 80 Euros-not joking.
