Are these not just the cutest things ever? My friend Gretchen Barron is offering these and the whole gang in an online kit to go.
Everything is cut and ready to go! If you don't own a Big Shot with Top Note die cut but LOVE the Top Note...then this is for YOU! You can order them through Gretchen here. These were so fun and easy to whip together. I made all 6 in one evening!

OK folks, gotta do a little bragging for a minute on my Benjamin. He is 13 years old and a fan of Duff on Ace of Cakes. He decided he was going to make cakes this summer and enrolled in Course 1 of the Wilton cake decorating class. Now he has completed Course 2 and take a look at this!!! Did you get that part about him being 13 years old??? I'm so proud!
Learning the basket weave.
Putting leaves between all his beautiful Royal Icing flowers.
Isn't that beautiful? Too bad I can't frame the cake ...oh ya, but I CAN scrapbook it with My Digital Studio which is available October 1st.____________

ReplyDeleteH Becky,
ReplyDeleteBenjamin is great at cake decorating!! OUr wedding cake was 3 hearts with the backet weave. I love that pattern on a cake. He will no doubt have hos own cake decorating business before you know it!!
Have a blessed day!
I think that is so awesome of your son. I love that he is finding a "passion" at such a young age. Tell him to keep it up. I'd hire him to make a cake for me.
ReplyDeleteBenjamin, your cake is awesome! What a great job on the basketweave and flowers.
ReplyDeleteWow! That's really great! The cake is beautiful - he could get quite the little business going baking cakes for friends' birthday parties!

ReplyDeleteI think your son did a wonderful job on the cake - decorating takes alot of time and patience! Good for him!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful cake! He's as good as the pros already!
ReplyDeleteGreat job Benjamin!
ReplyDeleteMy son is a fan of Cake Boss and thought he might like to learn cake decorating as well but he quit after the secon class of Coarse 1. So I guess I will have store bought cakes for my birthdays forever (hee hee).
I am so pumped about your 12 Days of Christmas event becasue you have the most amazing projects.
Benjamin, you ROCK! Stick with this and you will go far. I hope someday to see YOU on Food Network!My grandson is 6 and he loves to cook. He has helped me make holiday dinners since he was 4. Love those men who can take charge in the kitchen!

Way to go Benjamin! I've taken those classes, and I think his cake turned out better than mine did.... something wrong in my brain that I can't draw (or pipe icing) in a straight line, so my basketweave was VERY interesting. He did a wonderful job; maybe someday we'll see him working with Duff on Food Network?!?!?!?!
ReplyDeleteWow - can you say Wow - if you lived close by to me I may have just hired him to make my wedding cake. Guess I'll have to keep looking LOL
ReplyDeleteTell Benjamin that he is very talented. Kudos to him!!!
Wow! Your son has got some talent! That's great to see him working so hard! It shows! :-)
ReplyDeleteI am soooo jealous of his cake making skills!!!!! I can't bake/cook to save my life! LOL
ReplyDeleteBenjamin's cake is awesome!!!! I have been decorating cakes for MANY years and I know the time involved in making and decorating that kind of cake. Definitely "digital scrapbook" his works of art in icing!
ReplyDeleteSharon Canter
I have made hundreds of cakes and wedding cakes and let me tell you, Benjamin is very good at cake decorating. Keep going Benjamin, because you definitely have a talent!
ReplyDeletejmgeisler
