Tonight was my first class in Flowers and Cake Design! We learned all about gumpaste, fondant, and how to mix them together to form flowers. The 'button flower' is a complete pain to mold, but very cute when finished. It would be perfect for a picnic basket cake. The pansy is a much more laid back flower to make, even though it looks more complex. Here are some examples (I was not as careful as I should have been in transporting these home, so I apologize for the 'mushed' look):

In the spirit of good news, I have my first real cake order for this weekend. WOO! I will be making a Barbie cake. Wish me luck and watch for a post with the finished cake on Saturday!
Happy Baking!
