The weekend I took on too much

This last weekend I over did it a little bit. I took on way too much but I am one of those people who can't say no- but everything still came out perfect- just lacking some sleep :)
Luckily on friday the lady i work with on my second job text me and asked if she could have my hours-- I did not hesitate to say yes to this But I did still have to work sunday 12-5

Friday Night:
I did my first fondant cake (2 layer 6 inch vanilla cake with vanilla frosting)

It turned out really well for as nervous as I was for it
I didnt get off work until 5:30 so I baked my cakes in the 6 inch pans cooled them
I was having a rough time with my fondant ripped when I would drape it over the cake--
Googled the shit out of that!-- come to find out it was the simpliest solution- add shortening-- DUHH!
so after doing that it all worked perfect  Everything fell into place and I was happy with the outcome

with 2 dozen cupcakes to go with

 

2 dozen spiderman cupcakes

1 dozen carrot with cream cheese frosting

(these were Logan's favorite)

When Johanna first asked me to do these for her son

I could not believe that a four year old wanted carrot cake

for his birthday! But after testing one-- holy shiz! now I know!

It was my first time making carrot cake

and I am hooked now!

 

One dozen Chocolate with chocolate buttercream

 

 

(I had forgotten to take a picture but Johanna took a photo for me)

I really wanted to spend more time on the spiderman ones considering I

too am a huge fan! I wanted to go into more detail and add more fondant toppings

I literally had a total of 2 hours to work on these before having to go to work.

The birthday boy loved them so that is all that matters :)
