Cake Craze

I volunteered to make a cake this Thursday. There were two orders for that day and I had a difficult time deciding which order to choose. One was a dirt bike cake and the other order was for flower cupcakes. The flowers sounded fun but I decided to pick the dirt bike cake so I could use up some of the chocolate frosting I had acquired from Birthday Cakes 4 Free. Besides, I figured another volunteer would likely pick up the order for flower cupcakes.

Well, when I returned home from getting my needed cake supplies, I found an email waiting for me. I was asked if I might take on the cupcake order as well since both were for the same facility. I agreed and here are the results.

I am pretty happy with how the flowers turned out. I haven't actually done a lot of flowers in all my cake decorating so I wasn't sure how it would go. I decided to make roses, hydrangeas, sunflowers, daisies, zinnias, mums, and some random petal flower. My favorite is the blue hydrangea. It was the easiest but looks so pretty! (Plus, I may be partial to the color!) I did make 24 of these cupcakes but just took a picture of a small sampling.

If you are interested in volunteering to a make cakes, we could use help. All levels of decorating skills are appreciated! And if you aren't in this area, there may be a chapter near you where you could volunteer!
