The Zoo!

I saw that the Fresno Chaffee Zoo was holding a photography contest so Ty, Michelle, Ian, Luke, Sean and I decided to go. It was really fun, and I think I was able to get some shots that I will enter.








These are the ones that I am considering entering into the contest.

Cake, hardest yet.

This is a cake that I was hired to make for one of my co-workers. It is, by far, the hardest cake I have had to do. She wanted a leopard print fondant cake and asked me if I could do it.

The first photo shows one of the steps for getting the spots. You have to roll out your base color some, then add small dots of black fondant, and then add smaller dots of brown fondant on top of the black. Then just roll it all out.

This is the finished product. I realize there are a few bumpy sections, but you really only get one shot at applying the fondant, and for the time and energy I've put into this cake I think it came out pretty well.
The little figurine was purchased by my co-worker.

Springtime in the Orchard.

We went to one of the almond orchards near our house and got some really nice photographs. It was beautiful.

Cake.

Here is a cake I made for my Supervisor's birthday. She likes everything M & M, that made it an easy choice on how to decorate her cake.
