Oh My God!!! I haven't posted anything in... like forever. I was so busy with school, and extra-curricular activities that left me with no time for blogging. I'll try to work on my blog more often this year.
I have made a lot of cakes and learnt quite a few new techniques in the interim. More and more, I find myself using fondant for my designs. I'm still learning everyday, and the newest technique I am learning is to carve a cake. Last week, Pallavi aunty ordered a spider-man cake, and I thought this will be a good opportunity to carve the Spider-man's face out of cake. Just between you and me, Spiderman was supposed to have a bigger nose then what he has in the picture. Here are some photo's of how I carved and created the face. I'm pretty happy at the way it turned out! Click on the pictures for additional information!

I am also getting several two tiered cake orders. The most recent one I made was for a dancer's sweet 16 party. She wanted a Salangai/Ghungroo (the bells dancer's wear around the ankle for dancing) as the key design element. The entire cake was covered in fondant, as all of my 2-tier cakes are. I worked on this cake for about 19 hours, in total, but enjoyed every minute of it. For this cake each bead had to be separately rolled, cut, and painted 3 times, and fixed on the base individually. I went through several trials and errors before I figured out the way to make it perfect. My hands hurt a lot by the time I finished everything. I have some pictures of my original conception, to the final product, as well as the making of the Salangai. Click on the pictures for additional information!
Finally, a big Thanks to everyone who ordered from Frosted World, so far! My target is $1500 for this year and as of today, I have earned $465. Need a lot more orders, obviously. Post your thoughts on the cakes in the comments section below.
