July Cakes

July found me making a simple wedding cake for fun (not a real wedding...thank goodness!) and Fancy Nancy themed purse cakes for my friend's daughter. I learned how to do a couple new things this month...attaching real satin ribbon to a wedding cake (I lightly "glued it on by patting it gently onto completely dry/set buttercream and then pinning it with a satin hatpin) and covering a mini cake entirely in fondant to make a bag-shaped purse (see slideshow). It is always a rewarding month for me when I try something new and even better when I'm successful!
