More creations

The first two are for the service club that I belong to.
We served cake to our sponsoring club as a thank you to them.

The other is a First Communion cake.

The opposite side of the First Communion cake. (I had exceeded the maximum of picture uploads.)

Wow! That first one is really good (comparing the cake to the logo behind it). I'm amazed at people who can do stuff like this.

The communion cake is really cute. Is that a Precious Moments figurine?

Is that a Precious Moments figurine?

Actually it was just a figurine I picked up in the dollar store a few years ago.
I remembered I had it, so I dug it out.

Funny thing about when I do a cake - I can recreate pictures and logos in the icing, but I couldn't draw on paper to even save my life.

Those cakes are gorgeous!

Ah, from the back it kind of looks like PM but I couldn't really see the face.

Hehe...my brother got all the art genes...I got nuthin'
He can draw, paint, even got some sculptures; he has a degree in art. My parents have a 2x3(ish)-foot painting that was copied from a regular 4x6" photo they took in Bermuda hanging on their living room wall. They used to have another of the same size copied from a 2-inch square picture cut out of a magazine (which they gave back to him when he bought his house and is now hanging in his living room). Hell, there was even a Lego pirate ship in the basement for years (also given to him when he moved into his house). The only thing I ever really built out of Legos was bigger blocks. He gets all this talent from my grandmother - there's beautiful needlework all over my parents' house, and a copy of a watercolor (which is a copy of a Currier and Ives picture from a greeting card) she did when she was in the nursing home just before she passed away (my aunt has the original). I think the only artwork of mine is an ugly, lopsided yellow pencil cup I made in 8th grade on the desk in their kitchen.

Those look great. I bet they were delicious too.

I can draw and paint very well, and I actually bake well, but I can't do anything with icing! I can't even pull off flat icing without it being bumpy and falling off the edges, and if I try piping anything... it's going to end up all gunked up as an explosion in one place. Different people, different talents, right?

I'm at my parents' house right now and I've just noticed my pencil cup is inside another container so you can only see the top 1/2 inch...

[RecoveringKinkoid]

Wow. Ree. I'm doing good to get the icing on so that it covers the cake and has no crumbs stuck in it or gouges. You really have a talent for this! The communion cake is particularly pretty!

[DesignFox]

Those are awesome, Ree!

If you lived closer, I would have paid you to do my graduation/18th birthday cake.

You decorate really well.
