Today I attended a geocaching event, the Pocono's 10th Annual Easter Egg Hunt and Picnic. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Of course, I just had to make a cake!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once I saw Amanda Rettke's post about the <a href="http://iambaker.net/easter-egg-surprise-inside-cake/" target="_blank">Easter Egg Surprise Inside Cake</a> she made, I knew that's what I had to make! I mean, it's an Easter egg hunt, so I need an Easter egg cake, right?</div>

<br />
I bought <a href="http://iambaker.net/" target="_blank">Amanda Rettke's</a> brand new book, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Surprise-Inside-Cakes-Amazing-Occasion---Something/dp/006219531X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1396995582&sr=8-1&keywords=surprise+inside+cakes" target="_blank">Surprise Inside Cakes.</a> Her blog is amazing, so of course, I knew the book would be as well! <br />
<br />
I couldn't wait to make a cake (see what I did there?) from the book as soon as it arrived at my house! I decided on the one with a tree inside. <br />

He loves insects, especially caterpillars, and also "Angry Birds" at the time. So I made some "Angry Bird" cake pops, and an edible birthday caterpillar! He enjoyed playing with the birds more than eating them!<br />

I know, I know, I've been really slacking off on this blog! So I finally made the time to put something back up here again.</div>
<br />
My 4-H club had a small Christmas party and I decided to do something cake related of course. I came up with a cupcake Christmas tree!<br />
<br />
The local farmstand store had some old-fashioned style Christmas light sprinkles available, so I thought that would be great to use for the cupcakes. This was a quick and easy cupcake design, perfect for impatient kids that want to make cupcakes, or for the beginning cake decorator. <br />
<br />
Without further ado, here are the photos<br />

I always bring the dessert. This year, I wanted to incorporate raspberries into my dessert, as we grow our own raspberries that both friends enjoy very much. <br />
<br />
My decision was chocolate-raspberry cupcakes with vanilla buttercream frosting, topped with chocolate piped branches and molded chocolate cardinals. I also added some white sanding sugar on top of the buttercream to make it look more like snow.<br />

Yes, Christmas. Hobby Lobby near me has been selling Christmas items for about a month now.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-h0r1Kdh5tTKLqZzoNMU7xdfqVTtiUX4YuZC3Lo_YvKbKWd0PiPhULKDuC68-JEVphJAMNhnYSllBaUKkIuZLzsvljVrGQR6NXpjDOWW8F3DuAXNGWdc47WJIqGjTntModd5MWbe6CyZv/s1600/present.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-h0r1Kdh5tTKLqZzoNMU7xdfqVTtiUX4YuZC3Lo_YvKbKWd0PiPhULKDuC68-JEVphJAMNhnYSllBaUKkIuZLzsvljVrGQR6NXpjDOWW8F3DuAXNGWdc47WJIqGjTntModd5MWbe6CyZv/s320/present.JPG" width="292" /></a></div>

This was my first (and only, as of now) cake with a fondant bow. For the border, I mixed up the extra blue, yellow, and purple fondant to get a subtle tie-dye effect. I rolled it out and used the fondant ribbon cutter to make it wavy. Finally, I used the shell tool to make the indentations on it. The snowmen were added for an extra detail. <br />
<br />
<br />
The only gift inside this present was chocolate cake!<br />
<br />
I think it's cute, and those colors would work well together for a neutral baby shower cake I think.<br />

The other night I wanted to try out my new gnome cookie cutters. I used the gnomes, a tree, a butterfly, chipmunks, and other forest animals to go with the theme. One of those was a bear from Anne Clark. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
I only made a batch of butter fondant, which wasn't enough, and the way I separated the colors, I was able to cover only one bear. The colors I had left after all the cookies I could cover were covered were black, green, and brown. I decided to combine the colors just to use up the fondant. This is how the bear I used came out:<br />

<br />
I didn't have the idea in mind when I combined the colors, but it came out looking like a camouflage pattern! It's really cute, and tasted good, too! <br />
<br />
What do <em>you</em> think this pattern would be good for?<br />

It was constructed entirely of fondant, excluding the eyes and mouth which are chocolate candy melts. They look raised here because I later pushed them in further. I achieved the color of the scarf by blending together the leftover pieces from the red and green hat. The hat was striped using a technique where you 1.) roll out both colors, 2.) cut them into strips, 3.)line up the strips, 4.) roll the strips together and 5.) attach them to the cake. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's a little hard to see in the photos, but I added detail to the hat to make it look woven with lines. He was a little tricky to get into the cake cover with the scarf hanging out like that! That's okay though, this wasn't for a client. He's cute enough for me!</div>

It's something everyone most if not all cake decorators struggle with at first. I got the hang of it after a few tries, and now I can whip out a buttercream (or royal icing ) rose in no time. When you figure out how the tip works, you can make a perfect rose. Below is my first cake with piped roses.<br />

Of course they're not very good roses as they're my first ones, but I don't think they're that bad. (Okay, maybe they're really bad - at least I can do much better roses now!) I think that shade of pink is a nice baby girl pink. You think so?</div>

Tell me about how you learned to pipe a rose! How long did it take until you got the hang of it?</div>

Like this steak <a href="http://www.toxel.com/inspiration/2010/05/05/unique-and-creative-birthday-cakes/" target="_blank">here</a>: <br />
<br />
Burgers are always popular to replicate as cakes. Just doing a Google search for "Burger Cakes" retrieves more than twenty-seven million results! Burgers are fairly simple, and great to start out with when replicating other food. Here's how mine came out:<br />

Cute, huh? The cheese and lettuce are fondant, and the ketchup is buttercream colored red. And it took a lot of red. A <em>lot.</em> And it was still pink-ish. It's good enough for me though, it wasn't for a client. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you want a burger cake your ketchup will be red!</div>

Lighter pastel colors look nice for a background, so I used a pale light green color marshmallow fondant and white royal icing. Here's how it looked:<br />

I'm not exactly sure if Smokey liked it - although I do know it startled my father every time he looked in the cake's direction and thought it was the real cat laying there!</div>

I found a cheap dog bone shape chocolate mold at a craft supply store, and thought I'd use it for something. Plus, my dog 4-H club would get a kick out of it. <br />

Here's what I made with it:<br />

I mixed a half bag of Wilton white candy melts, and a half bag of peanut butter Wilton candy melts, with a little bit of crushed up chocolate jimmies to make these. They're so realistic! I think they're supposed to say Milk-Bone on them, but it's hard to make out.</div>
