Cake Decorating

So lately I have gotten into cake decorating. I've had an interest in it for a while now but have never really tried it until my mom volunteered me to make my cousins wedding cake! I about died when she told me that! But I decided I'd give it a try. It was SO much fun!!! It turned out pretty good and I was happy with it. She also volunteered me again to make another cake the next week. It was fun to make too, but I realized I need lots of practice. I'm wanting to get into it more but I don't want to make the a cake just to decorate and throw it away and I know if I made one, I'd probably eat it all and that wouldn't be very good. Oh well, I guess i'll just have to do it sometime. Maybe i'll take all the cake to Steph, LOL! She'd probably kill me! Anyways, here are the one's I've made.
I made this one with fondant. She didn't want it to all be cake so I just used styrofoam underneath.

This one is real cake with Almond Buttercream Icing. Yum! And I made the flowers and leaves out of fondant.

HA HA Funny! You know...I would probably eat the cake as long as it was buttercream frosting, but please, NO! I'm sure I'll eat the whole plate of sugar cookies at christmas...AGAIN! So I need to save the "points" for christmas. LOL
