Sunshine in the kitchen

Inspiration.

Per request of my mom I decided it was a great idea to whip up a cake. I had some creative energy brewing and it had been a while since my hands had touched a pastry bag. First thing is first, a chocolate butter cake baked in two 9" round pans was baked. Then I made two types of butter cream, one was vanilla that was then divided and tinted in golden yellow and  moss green. A rich chocolate mousse would top coat the whole cake. Cutting each of the 9" cakes into two layers and layered the yellow butter cream and the chocolate mousse gave it depth and carried the theme throughout.

After crumb coating the cake, setting it into the fridge for a few minutes. Then it was onto the best part, DECORATING!

Piece of Cake...with a few bites taken

Hey there Cupcake!

I baked up these little treasures as a donation to my alma mater for their open house. Sunshine sunflower cupcakes and a few polka dotted one as well.

I also made brownie cupcakes with chocolate fudge icing.

In my third flower class, I learned daffodils,daisies, and lilies.  Then we reviewed the dreaded Victorian rose. It is going to be the death of me, I practice and practice and I am still having issues with it. Next week is the final class and we learn the basket technique. Can't wait!

Maroon Lily? Yep!

                                   I also got a little surprise from my mom...SPRINKLES!
