Two posts about ice cream! This time is not the shape of the cake, but the flavor... mmm delicious. I made it for my mom's bday (I feel like lately I only work for my family - not complaining though).
This cake is a yellow cake with orange flavor, filled with pineapple and apricot jam, which I did, and I was proud of :) The buttercream used to frost the cake had pineapple flavor and the fondant... pineapple with orange... as I said, just like an ice cream.
My family was in love with my cake, and so was I, because I feel that with each new cake I've been improving in so many levels, and that makes me happy and proud of myself. And believe me, I'm quite a perfectionist but I see progress, so I'm happy and that won't mean I will stop trying to be better each day.
And now the reason why you visit my blog:
Thanks pretty people for reading my posts, hope to come back soon with a new project.

Ice Cream Flavors
A bowl of ice cream or a cupcake?
This time I'll let you decide, is my cake an ice cream bowl or a cupcake?
Let me tell you, I was aiming for a cupcake, but I feel like the bottom of my cake is too rounded and looks more like a bowl... but still I like my cake and the colors are pretty sweet!
On the base of the cake I put some cookies and wrote "melly" on them, because the name of the girl is Starmelly... how clever? hehehe.
The cake is a yellow cake with almond extract, the buttercream has coconut and lemon flavor, delicious!
So, what do you think?
Thanks for reading! XOXO
What I've been doing - A quick summary
Hi everyone,
Thanks for being so nice and patient!
I'm going to summarize what I've been doing the last months, and after this, I hope to continue posting as frequently as I did before =)
At the end of September I did a Strawberry Shortcake, had so much fun with modeling. The cake was an All American Chocolate Cake filled with "dulce de leche":
Later last year I played with polymer clay and also tried to replicate my work on fondant:
And here is what I've been doing this year, enjoy! =)

And the latest, my pirate, which was a gift for my boyfriend (he loved it!):
Well ladies and gentlemen, this is it for now, but I'll be back soon!
XOXO

A Magical... Cat?
Well, yes, it can be considered a magical cat, but no, what I meant was a Magical Tree and a Cheshire Cat (^_^)
This week I was so stressed about the Cheshire Cat, I wanted to do it since last weekend... but come on! the cake was for this Saturday, so I had to wait until the last minute to make it and and be sure it was fresh :P
The cake was my first ever sculpted cake and I learn a thing or two about gravity... and about making cakes when I'm still awake so I can use the common sense and avoid some gravity issues I had. The cake was for a friend of a friend, and I told her a while ago I will send her some Red Velvet cupcakes so she could tell me if those were as good as the ones she had eaten, but I never really had the time to made them, soooo, I made the Cheshire Cat using Red Velvet cake <3

From outer space to a shoe box!
You may be wondering: "what the heck?"... well just let me tell you the story and everything will be perfectly clear (I promise).
This time I'll be posting about 4 cakes and very different themes.
The first one is a cupcake that I made for a Flickr Throw Down, I didn't win but I was proud of it and also got many votes (wooohoo!!). The TD was about the space, and I'm not really into the space (I kinda hate it... it's a long story), but the thing is, this was the perfect opportunity to make Marvin the Martian! (oooh yes, I love that little crazy guy!).
My second cake was a sheep cake, it was a request from a coworker for Mother's day (nop, I'm not posting this late, in this side of the world we celebrate Mother's day on August 15th). I have to confess I wasn't quite happy with the cake, but I was following the client's request. The cake was an All American Chocolate Cake filled with "dulce de leche".
The third one, uuuh the third one is a wonderful one I have to admit it (and I do this rarely), I made it as a gift for my mother-in-law. It was a super rich chocolate mud cake and the cake was shaped as a pot, the dirt is the same chocolate cake (yummmm, yummmm!!). The pot was filled with my first fondant roses ever, and I really enjoyed learning how to make them (yup, because I learnt otherwise I would've hated the process hahaha).
And the best one, is the last one!!! Yayyyyy! My mom's cake, she is a shoe lover, and I knew she would adore my cake. The cake was half chocolate mud cake and the other half white chocolate mud cake, it was filled with chocolate ganache & rum. I made the shoe a week in advanced to give it time to dry.
And now the part that I like the most:
