Tonight, in my latest Wilton Course (Fondant and Gumpaste), we learned several new techniques, which we could add to our cakes tonight. Among the techniques were: the draped cloth, handkerchiefs, the zig-zag swags and borders.
I chose not to add all these new elements to my cake, instead going for a more elegant look of the draped cloth and roses. I am extremely pleased with how well this cake turned out; after my last disaster with my co-worker's birthday cake, I was beginning to doubt my abilities. Fortunately, all the gumpaste and fondant things were extremely easy and provided a real boost to my esteem!

I have another good friend who is into cake making (is that a term?). She just did a cool wedding cake: http://thepowerspage.blogspot.com/2008/05/yes-we-made-cake.html
I am going to give her the link to your cake blog :)
Also, I am so jealous of your coworkers getting to sample all your creations. You should have started this hobby when you worked with me!
