My first decorated cake was one for a dinner party we held in March. It was an "Indian" night and dessert was mango ice cream and spice cake. Here is the finished product. I'm pretty pleased with the outcome, considering this was my first try at anything like this. This is a spice cake with vanilla and cinnamon buttercream icing. Everything was homemade.
Then for Easter I offered to make cupcakes for Emily's class. I did confetti cupcakes with green buttercream icing to look like grass, and candy eggs on top. Again, all homemade.
For Easter Sunday dinner at my parents I made a "bunny" cake for us all. This one is butter pecan cake with vanilla buttercream icing. The bunny, fence and vegetables are all made from fondant that I hand coloured. The "dirt" is made with oreo cookie crumbs. The next pictures show my progress:
