Practice makes perfect

Now that I am finally settling into things and organizing all my stuff, I finally took some time on this rainy night to practice my flowers.  Just a little simple test for myself.  I was happy with the flowers for a first try at these.  Not so happy with the cake, but I really wasn't trying, I just wanted something to place the flowers on.  Next time I will just practice with styrofoam rounds and cover with fondant.  I was finally able to test my pollen, not sure if you can see it well in the picture, but I'm loving this stuff. 

Keep checking out the blog because next week I am tackling two cakes for two little boys.  One will be a Thomas the Train cake and the other Monster Jam Monster Truck cake.
