Mini Cakes

Today was an interesting morning. I spent about 3 hours creating these mini cakes. Simple yet time consuming. Nonetheless it was fun. It's always great to see the finished product because when you start you never know what you'll end up with.

Cake 1: Simple bridal bouquet cake
Cake 2: Valentines Bride cake
Cake 3: Ladybug Cake

NOTE:
You want to start by creating all your decorations first before you start to ice and cover your cakes. This makes for an easier job as you do not have to stop to create more decorations. It's also best to create your decorations the day before (or a few days before) in order to have them dry. Dried decorations are easier to work with. Leave them at room temperature. In this case, I did not make them in advance but after about an hour, they were mainly dry.

Finished Example:

The following photo snippets are of the process making of the figurines

VOILA!
