So a little while ago I got a Nikon D5000 as a gift.  Originally i wanted it just for photo documentation of my cakes and pastries.  But after just a short little while i started experimenting with a few other things.  So from time to time I may post up a few shots I think are pretty cool as well as my cakes!

As for the cakes themselves, I have just recently got into school for it.  Yah I know, everyone has been bugging me for years about it and now I've finally got myself enrolled.  I love the class so far.  I am in course 2 now which is all breads.  I really enjoy baking breads.  Its soothing to me.  Dunno why really.

In course 3 and 4 we do french pastries and decorated cakes.  So in just a few short weeks I should be able to start posting cakes much faster and hopefully even better quality then before!

So I got this really cool airbrush for christmas.  Its the Iwata Eclipse.  Great brush, though its not like I have anything to compare it to since I've never used one before lol.  I've taken to it rather well.  Easy to use, easy to clean.  

I wanted it to use for my cakes.  It saves me SOOO much time colouring I don't know what I did without it.  Simply put, trying to colour my cakes before was a long process.  I had to take a small amount of fondant or gumpaste, add the colour gels, them knead it until uniform in colour.  Now, all I have to do is add about half the amount of gel to a little vodka or gin and go nuts with the airbrush.  I can get three times as many cakes done in the same amount of time!

My first cake done with the airbrush was my Owl Ship cake.  I think it turned out rather well.  Still need practice though.  :D
