Something we did before spring break for the Jazz Cabaret.

And of course...I forgot take a picture of the final product. XP Silly me. The end product had little cheese stars to finish it off!

Fondant Fox Cake

Our individual project for this course!


 
Carved it a bit and secured a fondant muzzle with tooth picks.

Ears, eye, nose and tail.

Rolling out the marshmellow fondant with an
abundant amount of icing sugar.
 
Carefully take it off.

Fox Face!
 


Haven't had the heart to eat it yet... :'D

Cake Poppin'

Cake pops! I was really excited to do this lab! Making them, however, was a little bit more messy than I anticipated.
 
Crumble your cake!
Make some buttercream Icing.
Sprinkles?
 
Add a tad bit of icing into the cake crumbs...
...mix 'em together...
...so they'll hold together!
Shape them into characters!
Or a ball!
Coloured candly melts.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Food markers didn't work on the Hello Kitty. We opt to use the
sprinkles instead.

Overall, it was a fun lab! The cake pops were reallllly sweet! X3
