Kelsie's Description:

I've got a passion for cake decorating and "Cakes by Kelsie" is just my outlet for that passion: a way to share with the whole wide world my sweet, crazy, artistic cake love. :) And I'm still learning, so I try to pass on all the helpful things I've picked up over the years!

The Airbrushing Class

15 December 2011

I don't think I ever uploaded my blog post about the airbrushing class I took a couple months ago. It. Was. Awesome! :D The class was in Ocala, though, so that was kind of a bummer. It was a two hour drive from and we got super lost. But once we finally made it to the class, it was so worth it. I ...

Nutella Cake Balls Recipe

01 December 2011

A few weeks ago, I finally got around to trying nutella flavored cake balls. They were pretty amazing, and I'm also pretty sure that's my new favorite flavor (sorry, red velvet!) And all of you lucky readers can have my recipe... All you need is a chocolate cake (already baked and cooled and ...

The Dummy Cake

29 November 2011

For my entrepreneurship class, I'm doing a presentation of my business plan next week (and my business plan is obviously a bakery). I decided to make a fake cake for part of my presentation, and I've been working on that for the past week. It's a 6 tier square cake covered in marshmallow fondant ...

The 90th Birthday Cake

08 November 2011

Here we have a lovely two-tier square cake that I made for a 90th birthday party. It's a red velvet cake with cream cheese filling, Italian meringue buttercream, and fondant accents. Oh, the bow on top is gumpaste. Wilton gumpaste, not Bakels, because I learned my lesson with that one (Bakels never ...

FL ICES Day of Sharing

25 October 2011

Over the weekend, I had an opportunity to attend an ICES event, something I've wanted to do ever since I found out what ICES was. By the way, it's the International Cake Exploration Societe, and it's this awesome group of people who get together for classes and competitions and conventions to share ...

Experimenting with Royal Icing

21 October 2011

So my goal today was to work on my business plan for entrepreneurship class and write my elevator pitch which is due Monday. But when I started looking up prices for bakeries (which is totally confusing and a lot of work), I got distracted by pretty cake pictures. After looking at like a billion ...

New Toys!

18 October 2011

So like I said yesterday, I bought an airbrush machine. And today I went back to Michael's and bought the new Wilton gumpaste flower kit (I have the old one already). While it's not as awesome as some of the gumpaste cutters I've used in the past (you know, like the awesome--and expensive--metal ...

Airbrush Machine!

17 October 2011

So today I finally got the Duff airbrush machine that I've been talking about since July.  Finally!! I can't believe the darn thing has been out of stock for so long, and I'm sure the employees at Michaels who answer the phone are tired of me asking all the time if they have it in yet. Over ...

More Fall Cakes

01 October 2011

Here's another faux cake I made at Betty Cakes. Anyone in the eastern part of Pasco County who's looking for some tasty cakes, check this little bakery out.  They have amazing desserts and hire talented employees like me ;) In other news, I found a recipe for Nutella flavored cake balls, which ...

Betty Cakes

27 September 2011

I love decorating cakes. I could do it all day long, and in fact, some days, I do decorate them all day long. Or at least as soon as I get out of class until the bakery I work at (it's called Betty Cakes, if the post title didn't clue you in ;)) closes. Mostly I make "counter cakes" which are the ...
