HALLOWEEN!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Here are some Halloween desserts. I also made cookies, but forgot to take pictures before everyone started to eat them.

Brain cake!

Mr. Kenji's 3rd Birthday

Dinosaur Cake!!!

Only the back of the body was cake. It was chocolate cake with cream cheese filling. The rest was homemade rice krispie treats. It was cover with white modeling chocolate, then air brushed with food coloring.

It was a little disappointing. Kenji ended up being afraid of the cake and ran away. It took me so long to make it... At least, the other kids and adults liked it.

Some teeth were knocked out during the transporting. 

Then the rest of the teeth was pull out and eaten by the crazy kids.

More Cakes!! (Spring)

Since it is Mother's day and Spring is beginning, here are some cakes made for Spring! These were cakes made a few weeks ago and I did not write down which cake was which. One is lavender cake with white chocolate cremeux and the other is an orange chiffon cake with cherry pie filling.

Spring flower basket with butterflies. It was my first time making the basket weave. It does not look very good, but not a complete fail. 

Cherry Blossom Cake. I made tons and tons of the flower, but went with the neat and simple route. I was originally going to load the cake with the flowers, but Chef's voice came in my head. "Less is more" It still looks nice, right?

Mother's Day

Mother's Day cake number 1

Vanilla cake with swiss butter cream

Mother's Day cake number 2

Lemon poundcake with rhubarb filling and lemon curd swiss butter cream

Made both of these cakes at school. Cake number 1 was a practice for my block practicum and cake number 2 was a cake that I did not get a chance to finish before the practicum. Thought I had time to finish both, but was wrong. I managed to cover both of the cakes in fondant and rushed to decorate cake number 1. Cake number 2 was decorated by my little sister, when I brought it home.

Third and last practice exam cake. 

Sketch of final exam cake. It was a GD&TOP theme cake. Not all of the details was on this sketch. 

Roses were red, black, and half red half black. The writing on the cake was the lyrics in 'Baby Goodnight' by GD&TOP.(Took me forever to pipe and my hand was in pain for a few days.) The red was GD's lines and black was TOP's lines. On the middle tier was the "groom" and "brides" initials.(sorry oppas!) SC for Seunghyun Choi (TOP's real name) and JK for Jiyong Kwon (GD's real name).

Here is a better look at the toppers, all made from gum paste. "Groom" is TOP and "bride" is GD. 

 I used TOP's look from 'Doom  Dada'.

GD's look from 'Crayon' and 'Coup D' Etat'. GD's hair was from 'Crayon' when he dress up like a lady. His dress was supposes to be designed to look like the suit he wore in 'Coup D' Etat' but the front was covered and u can't see it and I forgot to add the details to the back of the dress (I thought the back would be covered enough to not have to do that, which I regretted after he was put together).

The positioning of the two was inspired by naughty GD doing things to "TOP" at their fan meeting.
