Thanks Gail! No, no molds, only my hands...Unfortunately, i live in a country where cake decorating hasn't grown into people,and there aren't many possibilities...you cant even buy the basic tools easily,either you don't have the money, or you don't have WHERE to buy them...Complicated! Although - I do my best, and trying to learn as much as i am able to.
I know that there are many sites that offer all those wondrful molds, spent many sleepless nights looking at them. A friend from France brought me some food grade silicone, and I managed to make a few myself. Let me send you a link with the photos
SINCE MARCH!!!!! YOU'RE GOOD!! I'VE BEEN ON YOUTUBE AND YES IT'S VERY HELPFUL THATS HOW I LEARNED HOW TO DO THE FANTASY FLOWER, I WANT TO TAKE A FONDANT CLASS TO BUILD UP MY CONFIDENCE WORKING WITH IT,PLUS I THINK I CAN MORE SELLS WITH MY CAKES,SOME ORDERS I TURN DOWN CAUSE I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO IT. I'M GLAD I FOUND THIS WEBSITE !!!!
Hey Gail I have trouble writing free hand on the cakes do you any suggestions? I've tried using a icing pen I got from target it's too bulky I want my writing too be nice looking. HELP!!!
Thank you for your kind comments. Most of these cakes were my first tries at decorating. I've only made a few this year, I do not make wedding cakes anymore, although I loved the challenges they presented.
Wow, I can't believe you are new with cake decorating, your work looks so professional. Are you self taught or did you have any classes in cake decorating. Either way, I know you will have a great future in this business. Your giraffe cake is exceptional. Keep up the good work.
A belated Happy Birthday. I can understand your hesitation in taking on too many orders , work like yours is really time consuming. And, as you mentined, you have a health condition that may keep you from doing as much as you would like to do. I myself am quite a bit older and have been doing this for 37 years. I am just recently experiancing some health problems and have cut down on the amount of baking I would normally be doing. I haven't even taken the xmas cookie orders I normally do. But I love looking at the wonderful work some of the decoraters on this site have completed. There is a lot of great work here.
Saw your last cakes on CC Galidink. Fantastic. Especially your "Slot" machine. So many beautiful cakes, hard to comment on them all. Don't know how you do it with your health problems. Bravo to you. Hope you had a blessed christmas. I did. Daughter & sn-in-lw were here, but had to go home early :0( But had them for 5 days. Happy New year to you.
Thank you so much Gail for the encouragement,I am blushing.You are too kind.I REALLY love all your FANTASTIC cakes too.Thanks for the blessing and I wish the very same for you and HAPPY NEW YEAR.
Thanks. Most of them were done using tutorials online. I love doing gumpaste flowers but I need to practice more on buttercream & royal icing. Your flowers are looking good. Keep it up.

I think you should enter your Mad Hatter cake in the hat contest!!! I like the 20's hat too - but that Mad Hatter could win it! Good luck!
