Well, I haven’t been making cakes the past few weeks, but things are picking back up!
For christmas I got so much cakey goodness!
I got Wilton performance cake pans, the freaking decorating tip MASTER set!, piping bags, food color markers, cake boards… the FULL flower making kit set… *swoon*
I will be making much cakey goodness soon! I’ll have a new post next week for a cake I’m making this tomorrow… annnnd my birthday is coming up and I’ve got big plans!
Hope you all had a wonderful new year! I know I did!
I can’t wait to use this! I am stuck at work until 8:00pm, but I swear I’m going to run in that door and start teaching myself how to use this thing the second I get home!

Okay, trying something new today. I’ve never done a video tutorial before. I’m also obsessed with this time lapse thing on my phone… so here you have it.
Alright, I start with one layer of red velvet cake. (duh), then I chill it in the freezer for a bit so that I can cut it without it falling apart. First I carve the shape of a steak, trying to trim off as little cake as possible. Next I iced the cake. After that, you’ll want to roll out your fondant. I used white because I hate making red fondant and I own an airbrush… lol
After covering, I sprayed the fondant red. Then roll out a small portion of white, cut out the “t-bone” shape and place it on the cake. Then roll out a long ribbon to wrap around the cake as the “fat”… roll the ribbon into a roll, brush the sides of the cake with piping gel or vodka and carefully adhere the ribbon to the side of the cake by unrolling it as you go.
And maybe… if you’re lucky, the guy at your local meat counter will be nice enough to give you a clean, un-used foam meat tray. :)
There you have it… delicious t-bone steaks even your vegetarian friends will love!
