<div style="text-align: justify;">
Roses! Aren't they beautiful!! And trying hands on making roses using fondant is a dream to many. And ever since I started making fondant cakes I've been keenly interested in trying them <3 So here's a compilation of some roses I've made till date, right from my first attempt :) </div>

So. here's my first attempt!! The No Tool Fondant Rose, my very first attempt! With homemade fondant. Had a lot of flaws but I was soooooo much happy about its outcome!</div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">So, Should I use fondant or gumpaste for flowers???</span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
With fondant, or gumpaste or fondant-gumpaste mix you definitely get good flowers, but with gum paste I find that making thinner petals were easier, had a lot of elasticity and dried a little faster than fondant. But.. I have tried roses with fondant alone too, they come out great. But you need to be extra careful and fondant takes a little extra time to dry. </div>

This one was a little challenging cake, as I had to make a lot of models within a short period of time. Challenges are hard but don't we love it? One of the cakes where I got a lot of appreciation both from the client and friend side. There was a swimmer in action, shuttle racket, mobile phone, whole roasted chicken, a pug dog and a Facebook icon. Every single model was challenging yet I loved crafting them :) This was for a brother's birthday ordered by his loving sister with all things associated to him. </div>

This set of bournville chocolate cupcakes were for a little kiddo just to bring a glee on his face. Few of his favorites where made as toppers. There's a fondant toy car, toy train, stars and a ball atop the cupcakes, all made with fondant to excite the kid. All the models were crafted free hand with minimal tools and no moulds were used. Here are pictures for you to have a look!</div>

<ol>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Make a log out of any colored fondant! </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Cut it into two. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Press one with your thumb to make it a little flat. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">It should be longer than the other part. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Similarly make another smaller log and using a little water glue them together as shown on pic. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">& 7. Roll white fondant or any contrasting colored fondant </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">and cut four small wheels using a pen or sketch pen cover. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Then cut two 2 bigger ones. These will be the train's wheels. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Prick a small hole in the center of each of them. Set them aside. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Make a small cone shaped piece with fondant and using a ball tool press on the end gently. This will be the steam engine's blast pipe or the exhaust. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Cut out a small trapezoid. This piece will be stuck on the front of the engine. (using a knife tool draw some lines over them if you want) </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Cut out another piece of white fondant into a small rectangle to place on top of the engine as shown in pic. (In the pic the rectangle seems too big which I then cut into smaller size as in final pic)</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Glue all pieces together with little water. Let it dry overnight. Add some details if you need and tada your cute lil train is now ready!!!</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Use them on your cupcakes or cakes :) </li>

Minions here, minions there, minions everywhere! So it has become a very popular animated character and lately people have been in love with these yellow buddies. And I wasn't an exception, I was so longing to try the minion cakes sometime and was waiting for a chance to strike. Recently a mother asked me to bake a cake for her kiddo and she gave me full freedom to choose the theme of the cakes. I did not want to force my minion idea on her but sent her a few reference pictures with different themes and asked her to choose something from it. And guess what? She finalized the minion theme :D Happy me! </div>

I went for a flat style minion cake and it was so much fun to work. Along with the cake there were cupcakes too, which were minion themed as well. The mother kiddo and everyone at the party were so contented. Another desire fulfilled :)<br />

This one was my very first "big project" a long time dream of mine that came true a month ago! A wedding cake finally :)<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was baking birthday cakes and it was a regular routine and all of a sudden I got a call from an old friend of mine, asking me to make a wedding cake for her cousins. I was very much excited but I had very little time, still i wanted to take it up, it was something that I wanted so much and how could I turn it down? Also never loose a chance someone said! The people who gave me this opportunity were so friendly and warm, that it made my work so easy! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqmz6IzNsvi0fcE4NnI0ViMjKGMOYqI8czr2RE1UrFXHIkYYTTP-kohSUjVQtbU92gBsjvWthfPimS8MWEH0gN4Ptbr5ZzHa8VTu2vXJpVUuW9KZ376Mh3_kr9vuKXdLGor8enap19HbDW/s1600/wedding+cake+a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqmz6IzNsvi0fcE4NnI0ViMjKGMOYqI8czr2RE1UrFXHIkYYTTP-kohSUjVQtbU92gBsjvWthfPimS8MWEH0gN4Ptbr5ZzHa8VTu2vXJpVUuW9KZ376Mh3_kr9vuKXdLGor8enap19HbDW/s1600/wedding+cake+a.jpg" title="Wedding Cake Ideas | Fondant Wedding Cake | Four Tier Wedding Cake | White Wedding Cake With Golden Branches And Red Blossoms Flowers" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, after a little discussion, browsing over the internet for references and sharing a few pictures, the client went for the design that was similar to the one below. It had a beautiful golden branch with red blossom flowers. They wanted a four tier cake and I was a lil scared as it was my first big project, but I was confident enough too. Though I had to handle so much single handed, the planning, collecting things, the preparations, the flowers everything was a fresh experience to me. I learnt so much :)<br />
<br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It all ended up in a positive note, the couple loved their wedding cake and appreciated my work with a contented heart. I am so filled with gratitude as they gave me a chance to help my dream come true,. Also they did help me overcome my fear of building a 4 tier cake and prove myself! Though it was going to be my first wedding cake they trusted me so much which boosted me enough to produce the best for the lovely pair. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This was one of my most favorite cakes, my best attempt I'd say :) </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">After I started my new venture, friends and fellows who were also interested in this home-baking business started shooting out a few questions to help purse their interest. And one repeated question they ask is, How much should I charge my cake? I thought that putting up a post would be easier for everyone else out there too, who are looking for an answer!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Well, there are many factors to be considered here. Being a little reasonable will make your customers happy but at the same time your hard work should be paid! Making a cake is never a cake walk! Certain cakes are very laborious and under pricing your cakes will only lead you to frustration; it is like kicking off your efforts to the bin. After all you are working for profit right? And at the same time you do want to charge inconsiderately! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Here are the set of things you must consider!</span></b><br />
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Ingredients used </b>- Add up the cost of all the ingredients that you will use in you cakes. For example flour, eggs, sugar, milk, cream, butter, coco powder, essence, fondant, icing sugar, chocolate compound, colors used, etc. Always do not discard your grocery bills, note down the cost of the ingredients in your handbook and create a standard price for the basic cakes you make, so that it will be easy for you to quote when customer asks you. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">To the above cost add up the cost of <b>Non-edible things</b> you will be using. (Like butter paper, cake boxes, cake boards, cupcake cases, cake stands, pillars, cake dummies etc)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Consider those <b>electricity bills</b> too! </span></li>
<ol>
</ol>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Effort </b>- This one is something that should be considered. Any baker would know how much hard work one puts into each and every cake and for certain cakes one has no idea how much work goes into it. The extra care, the intricate work, the time invested is more important than any other thing I've mentioned above. </span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If you do deliver cakes include a considerable amount for that too, considering the <b>mode of transport</b>, fuel cost etc. </span></li>
</ol>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Make it a point to fix or set a standard price for your basic cakes according to the weight and size of the cakes. And after the customer finalizes the theme and other things, add the additional cost that would incur. This has been my way of charging the cakes and I have found it easier for me. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Things not to put in your mind while pricing.</b> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The near by bakery might offer cakes at much lesser cost than you do! And you might be forced to lessen your price accordingly! No that's not an advisable thought. You make customized cakes and offer something special that bakeries don't. The ingredients you use can never be compared to the ingredients that those commercial bakeries use! So try not to compare or under estimate your work. </span></li>
<li><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Similarly never compare your work with the other home baker in your locality. Remember each one's work is always unique so try not to compete in pricing with that baker. Do not price your cupcakes Rs.100 each since he/she does so! Create your own identity even in pricing. Your customer will be yours at any cost and the ones who respect your work would not argue with you for the pricing nor will compare your work with the other. </span></span></li>
<li><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Don't think about earning a big profit from a single cake. Be very considerate when pricing. </span></span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Try not to cut down cost by using less quality ingredients! Never compromise on quality. </span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This is just a basic idea of how you can price a cake. If you have other ideas please do share in the comments section below!</span></div>

How many of you love Tom and Jerry? Kids and grown ups regardless of age love this duo's show right? I love every bit of it and have never missed even a single toon. It was and is still my favorite cartoon! When a lil boy's mom asked me to make a Tom themed cake for her son's birthday I was excited but equally scared as well, from childhood I have never tried drawing Tom, though drawing and art was my favorite past time. I was a little scared that my Tom would seem like some other character and that I will never get it right. But you have to overcome your fears and face the challenge someday right? So I searched for a Tom drawing on net and tried drawing it on a sheet and got it perfectly on the second attempt. So now I was ready to make a 2d hand cut Tom fondant figurine :D<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
It took me hours to color, cut, assemble and complete the 2d fondant figure of tom but the end result was fabulous I was so happy as I got it perfectly the in my very first attempt. Like always I left it on counter top to let it air dry overnight. The climate was so lovely and it was raining non-stop with a light a very satisfied heart I left to sleep. And next with so much enthusiasm I went to check the art piece and then knew disaster had hit. Heard about how climate could cause trouble while working with fondant and that was the first time I experienced it. Yes fondant had sweat a lot and turned out to paste and my whole tom figurine had melted away. I tried refrigerating, though I knew it was irreparable. And never refrigerate fondant models in such a case, as once you pop it out of the refrigerator it will sweat even more badly! I was so lost!! But still on a positive note I had a day left to work again. So I started working again with a litte frustration but lot of hope and made another 2 d tom. And to my biggest disappointment this tom ended the same way too! Now I didn't want to waste away my effort and fondant next time. Again I made the fondant figurine and let it dry in an air conditioned room and yes it was much better, it didn't dry much but stayed as it was :) Finally that was the solution!! Work in a temperature controlled room i.e. an AC room!!! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When the climate turns humid, wet or there non stop showers or rain, work in an air conditioned room. A lesson learnt! </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
And as my figurine could not stand on its own (only dried fondant figure will stand obviously) I had to provide a support and used a piece of cardboard to make it stand. You can even use bamboo sticks or ice-cream sticks also. I mixed some fondant in water and used it like a glue to stick the 2d hand-cut figurine to the cardboard piece. Then I stuck it to the top tier with a small piece of fondant.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
About the cake it was a two tier cake. The bottom was a dummy and the top tier was a 2 kg chocolate cake. The mother was very specific that she wanted a colorful cake for her prince and so went with the following design. She was so much satisfied and sent me a very positive feedback :) After all the hard work that's all you need :) </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I covered the top tier with dark red fondant and then covered it with multi color stripes. The stripes have to be perfect from top to bottom else there will be too much visible flaws in the cake. The width should be uniform all through. I did have difficult moments while working on this cake as it was still raining. But working in an air conditioned room saved me from a lot of disasters. When working on a dummy make sure to decorate them beforehand so it will save a lot of time at the last moment. </div>

I have been making a lot of birthday cakes and was waiting for a chance to try my hands on a different themed one. And at that moment I got a chance to bake this anniversary cake for a couple who were celebrating their 40th anniversary. Such long term of togetherness and love must definitely be celebrated with a special cake right? So I planned for a white and carmelian red combo color cake with 3d fondant figurines and a fondant chocolate heart box. The box and the figurines were both made with fondant,<br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I made the fondant heart box 72 hours before the cake was to be delivered to let it dry and hold its shape. The 3d anniversary couple fondant figurines were also made with fondant. The bride looks a little short but I just somehow liked the pair together. This was my first try at couple figurines and I was so much satisfied with what I had accomplished. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
It was a 1.5 kgs chocolate cake with rose buttercream filling and milk chocolate ganache.<br />
<br />
Now lets take a look at the anniversary cake.<br />

This was one elegant cool looking cake that went out recently for a husband's birthdy from a wife who was very clear about the cake she wanted. It was kinda interesting to work with all the details, there was a 3d fondant number topper on the cake colored with a metallic silver and there were 2 dimensional hand-cut fondant wine bottles and a wine glass. There was a lil board with the handwritten words "Aged to perfection" just like she wanted. The cake model was sent by the client and it was fun trying the same.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This cake was a one kg vanilla cake with caramel filling covered with milk chocolate ganache. The number topper I made it with gumpaste as it will dry faster and be sturdier than fondant. This was one cake where I did my best to get those perfect ganache edges, though it was not perfect I could see a lot of progress in the work. Gotta reach out for that engineer's square to get the professional look and clean edges. Soon I will be there :) What do you think?</div>

This cake stays very close to my heart as it was one that got me many orders. With a lil baby gal at hand and with an active food blog and day today chores, I had very little time to focus on cake orders. But when a dear old friend of mine asked me to bake a birthday cake for her little girl, I couldn't help but accept the order the next moment. </div>

She wanted a very simple fondant cake with 2d hand-cut cartoon figurines on it and she specified that she wanted a blue cake. All girls love pretty pink I thought but not her cutie pie ;) she wanted blue, any blue she said. And she sent me few of her kiddo's favorite cartoon characters and asked me put a few of them on the cake. I chose Olaf, Marie kitty and Minion. It was my first cartoon themed cake and I loved playing around with the figures. </div>

This one was a 2 kg Vanilla cake with caramel filling, covered with dark chocolate ganache.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I just took care to make the 2d figures ahead of time, I made them a couple of days before the cake was to be delivered and left them to air dry so that it would be easy for me to set them on the cake. If the climate isn't humid or if isn't raining then you can let it dry simply on your table top. But if it is raining, or if it is too humid just make sure to work in an air conditioned room or under a fan. Else your fondant might sweat and never dry. I used fondant completely to make the characters you can try a mix of both fondant and gum paste too. </div>

Here are some pics of the pink cake that I made recently for a Mother's birthday. This was my first floral cake and I enjoyed making this one. I wanted to decorate the cake with beautiful pink flowers and browsed the internet for some ideas. I came across so many pretty ones with roses but I didn't want to try roses as I had pictured something else back in my head I guess. So finally after a spin I decided to go with pretty blossom flowers. This was my first try with blossoms and I was so happy to get them beautifully done (almost) in my first few tries. I used gum paste or and fondant in the ratio 1:1. I have tried with just fondant also and did not have any trouble. I am happy with the outcome but I know I have to still perfect my skills a lot. I'm just a home baker not a professional and that explains why there is lack in perfection ;) However, I love this pink little cake creation of mine :) Not bad for a first timer huh? </div>
