The begining of a little country kitchen......

I spent 8 years studying to be an architect, for which in return I have a very rewarding job!

Since finishing my studies I decided to find something new to learn outside the office..hence my journey into cake decoration and a new way to employ my creative skills!

So after some cake decorating lessons I am embarking upon making cakes for family, friends and anyone who is interested on my way!. I love a challenge and I really enjoy making them and it something completely different from my day job!

So this blog is an photographic portfolio of my journey, to give you an idea of what I have done/ maybe can do :-)

More Class Work...My first introduction to modelling flowers!!

Well,

I came straight back off my holiday and got straight back into class and this week it was modelling a rose.
This is far harder than it looks!!! I had to have a lot of patience with this one :-(....

Starting with a cone centre and slowly adding odd numbers of leaves...all formed into a flat petal shape and showly built up. Each petal has to be frilled at the edge and create a cupping so they look natural.

The one I did in class was ok....but seemed a bit too open too quickly to me ( see below)- but I was pleased with it for a first attempt.





So a couple of days later...I had another go which looked much better!
