Cookie flowers for the top of the cake
Karis's birthday cake.
Melissa was asked to do a 40th birthday cake to match an over the hill party theme — it blended in perfectly.
Melissa baked and decorated this bunny for Karis, a friend of ours’ daughter.
Melissa made this one for a coworker’s wedding shower / party. The couple is big into motorcycles.
Melissa made this birthday cake for the one-year old daughter of one of her coworkers. The parents are both ex-Marines, so apparently there is an inside joke at play.
Melissa is at it again, this time with a Little Mermaid themed birthday cake for a friend of ours.
Melissa baked this cake for a coworker’s son’s birthday.
Melissa had a bunch of leftover icing from the cakes she’d made for the first Wilton course. The second course doesn’t decorate a cake until the last class, so she baked one to use all her icing on and get in a little practice this week. The result looks quite nice, and I’m sure a taste test tomorrow will find it to be of excellent quality. 
I went to the last class in course 1 of the Wilton decorating series today. I even got a spiffy certificate that proclaims my completion of the course. I think this is my best cake so far. It’s almost exactly like the one in the book, and it was super yummy too! Course 2 starts next week, and it mostly involves learning how to make more flowers. Luckily, I won’t have to make another cake until the end of that course. We’re sick of cake.
Knowing how much Pooh LOVES clowns, I dedicate this cake to her. Maybe I’ll make one like it for her birthday. I went to my third Wilton class tonight, and this is the cake I made. The teacher finally taught us how to make a proper rose, and we also made clowns, shells, and some other flowers. There’s a picture of the cake in the class workbook that we were supposed to do (with about 10 different colors of icing), but I don’t have room for that much icing on our one shelf in the fridge, so I improvised. My favorite clown is the one climbing up the back of the cake. The one sitting on the side sort of slid off a little bit. I’ve really enjoyed this first decorating course, so I went ahead and signed up for course two. I’m on my way to becoming Big Mama! Woo!
