Hurrah! Its Friday!!

Thank you to those of you who called and emailed, totally antsy to see the cakes!

So without further adieu, here are our wedding cakes! We were graded on many different aspects ranging from piping, texture, flowers, color scheme and fondant coloring.

Here is mine! I chose to make hydrangea, roses and ranunculus, which are my absolute favorite flowers...



Here is a picture of the top of the cake... We were responsible for hand dusting each petal. We worked about 20 hours total on our cakes...

Here is a close up of the flowers on the left side of the cake...

And here are the flowers on the bottom.

I have to say that out of all the projects we have done, this is maybe the one I am most proud of. :-)

Here is Jessi's. No one did a cake like hers... I thought it was different and very elegant.

Here is a close up of the top of her cake.

This one is Monica's. We decided that her cake is for a couple getting Maui'ed...

And the lovely Pharyn's...

This one is Vicki's. She took the idea from one of Martha Stewart's cakes. I absolutely love Orchids.

Here is a close up of her detailed work.

While Chef was grading, Pharyn and Monica took a moment to show you the do's and dont's of Le Cordon Bleu school uniform. Monica is wearing black socks, while Pharyn, ahem, is wearing socks with ice cream cones on them. Shame shame.

This is Kimberly's cake.

... And Henry's...

Here is a close up of Henry's awesome Stargazers.

This one is Nika's. It is incredibly well done and she got 100% on it. She put SO much work into it.

Erica's...

And then I gave the girls a ride back to their cars... There was not a single square inch of room left after we managed to get our bags and cakes into the CRV.

Next week we begin plated desserts which I'm really looking forward to because that is what you really need to know how to do when you work in a restaurant... More details on that to come... But before I go, I want to give a little shout out to my brand new cousin, Eli Samuel Kestin!!! I can't wait to meet you!!!
