Master at Cake Decorating

I have become the master of cake decorating. Well, not really because I just learned how to do it. A week ago, my sister had ask me to make birthday cake for Samuel. All of suddenly, I had so many different idea to make cake for Samuel's birthday. At first, I was like I could make Car out of cake, but I realized it will take a lot of work. Then I decided to do really simple cake.

At first, I started to draw the cake before I started to make one. I showed the picture to my sister and she had agree it. Then I bought the frosting, food color, and the decoration supplies. My sister bought the cake mix of the flavor. I just know that my nephew love chocolate, but it is better to balance with vanilla and chocolate.

On Saturday, I went out shopping to get decoration supplies at Hobby Lobby, I was surprised that they were good price and lucky they were on sale. So I figured it out everything and I bought it. I went home and I started to bake the cake. I remember that we live on high altitude so I add the flours. 35 minutes later, the cake looked really great. Then I started my process for the decoration and I realized that I missed one important thing. It was the ring coupler. That thing to hold the bag and the tip together. While the cake was cooling down and I quickly ran to nearby store to get one specific thing. I got it.

Then I started to decorated the cake. It took me forever but really it only took me 30 minutes to decorate the cake and it look really great. Also I did borrow my nephew's car to decorate the cake. I did use plastic wrap to protect the cake and the toys. I am really proud of myself that I make this really cool cake.



The cake decoration is simple but it came be complicated. That four shape is that I used chocolate frosting to represent for the road. I had food color to add to the vanilla frosting in three separate as one for green, yellow, and red. I start the yellow outline to make it into a road. Also trying to frosting the chocolate to stay in yellow is not quite easy but it come out great. Also I used the green to make it into grass. So overall, it does look great to me...

Just Little part six of cross-stitch

Hello again, I am sure you are wondering why I had worked so quick. Really, this part six is really short. It is just how the system work for the pattern of cross-stitch. So the part six is really short and it is easy to work on it because it is part of the sky and cloud.

I have finished the top part, it seem it took me three months as from October to January. I am just say that I am proud that I was able to do this challenge cross-stitch. Here is the finished of top part...

The image of the first top part so that you can get the idea of what it look like.

Cross-stitch Part Five

Coming again with cross-stitch, it is part 5, this one is a lot easier, because it only required few color on it. I was focus on the sky and clouds. One thing about the cross-stitch, I realized that I did not have any room to make more part. So I bought new material and cross-stitch the part five.

The photo is the part five of cross-stitch...


Then I sew to rejoin together. It was not the easy thing to sew together at this moment but I did it well.


So that is the finished result of it. But there are still more to go with it. I will fix it to make it look good.

More will come soon.
