First real job!




Back in October, a friend asked me to make 2 cakes and 75 cupcakes for her daughter and niece's combined birthday party.  I used fondant instead of frosting knowing that it would give me the painted look I wanted.  The bad part turned out to be that the 1 year old could not get messy from the icing.  So I decided that I was going to have to start getting comfortable with using icing to draw instead of fondant and painting with food coloring which to me was similar to painting a canvas.  The cupcakes were my experimental attempt to draw with chocolate.  Flames for the firetruck theme and Mickey Mouse silhouette for the Mickey theme.
