ReplyDeleteSuch a stunningly beautiful cake!!! I'm in awe of your talent once again!
ReplyDeleteOnce again, I am impressed by your work! It seems to me that your love for cooking, baking/decorating stems from a very young age which you have developed into a worthy pastime or career. Keep up the good work. I'm sure that doing this relieves unnecessary stress when you undertake a task of creating your food/pastry from beginning to end, simply because you enjoy doing this.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful cake.......I'm really impressed,,,,I <3 it!!!:)
ReplyDeleteWow! What a gorgeous cake! You really talented & your cakes always amazed me! Well done! :)
ReplyDeleteThis was very creative and the colors are very nice together. You have a nice touch with the subtle colorings of the fondant. I make cakes too and have been doing it for some time. Isn't it fulfilling to see the results of your hard work? Even though I'm in BMCC, I still enjoy making special creations and it makes me feel so good to see how the cakes develop from start to finish, from baking, shaping, frosting and covering. It is sort of like how we ourselves develop from babies to children to adults. How wonderful it is to watch your children grow and change and become grown people! ~Michelle M.
