Thomas The Train Cake

So, it was my brother's birthday on Tuesday. He's into trains, and last year I made a cake with a wooden train on top. This year I made a Thomas cake. Just cuz I wanted to, and he didn't exactly give me any hints on what to make or anything. The bottom layer is chocolate fudge and the top is french vanilla. It's covered in fondant with buttercream and fondant accents.

Yay!

Finally!!! I'm going to be taking a Wilton cake decorating course! Michael's has a deal for the courses starting in February, and we called the other day to find out about it all and they were full up. However, mom was there today and she wanted more details and such about signing me up for a class further down the road and lo and behold, they had a cancellation for the february class!!! So..... she signed me up! Thanks Mom!!!
Yes, it is indeed true. I have not taken a class as of yet. It's something I've been meaning to do but I never think about it until the last minute. So a big yay (YAY!!!!!!!!) that I'm finally doing it! The classes are on Tuesday nights for a couple hours and I'm darn sure I'm going to enjoy every minute of them. I might actually learn how to make flowers instead of mushing them up or using silk ones! Wouldn't that be a bonus!?
I just thought I'd let ya'll know that, cuz I'm pretty darn excited about it. I'm sure I'll be posting after every class or something equally geeky to that effect.
Have a good night!

Finally!!!

So tonight, I broke down and created a site for my baking. I've been told I should have a website, so here it is. If you have any questions, comments, whatever, feel free to comment or email me at coconutty039@gmail.com .
Where baking is concerned, so far i'm sticking to vanilla, chocolate or marble cake/cupcakes. I can and will experiment with other flavors. Icing choices are buttercream, meringue, whipped, chocolate fudge buttercream, fondant, or ganache. I am welcome to suggestions of cakes/cupcakes to make. If there's anything special you're looking for, let me know as I am definatly willing to try (and if I can't do it I will definatly let you know). Prices will vary according to size, filling, and icing.
I've got pictures posted on Flikr, so if you click on the cupcake picture on the right of the page, it'll bring you to a slideshow of pics of stuff that i've made. I'll update that as I go along, as well i'll be posting on here about the new things I've made.
On that note, I'm taking off for now. I'll be posting soon! Watch for it!
