Buttercream Swirl

I love simple wedding cakes! I don't know how many times I've said it before.

This cake was made for a small family gathering celebrating a marriage of a seasoned husband and wife joining their two families together. It was a simple vanilla on vanilla cake. 

I frosted the cake with a crumb coat and let it set up in the fridge.  Once the outer layer was covering the cake I began using a small round tipped spatula starting at the base of the cake and lightly started swirling the lines slowly up the sides of the cake, constantly turning the cake stand. I then piped a bead layer around the base of each cake and placed the fondant/gumpaste mixed flower on the top. 

Pink & White Polkadot Cake

I met a wonderful lady through some unfortunate circumstances. I am so glad that we happened to run into each other. Her first granddaughter is almost here. She asked me to make a pink & white cake for her daughters baby shower. 

The cake is red velvet with cream cheese filling, covered in vanilla buttercream and decorated with vanilla fondant. The flower is silk.

Classy Black Tie Birthday Cake

This was a classy delicious marbled cake with vanilla buttercream frosting. 

They wanted traditional scroll piping on the sides. They had a red flower to put on the top to match their decorations.

Black & Gold

This is a December birthday cake. The top layer is lemon cake with vanilla frosting. The bottom layer is chocolate cake with hazelnut frosting. The whole cake is covered in fondant. The top layer has gold brush strokes (they really are gold, not yellow) with gold sanding sugar for texture. The bottom layer is wrapped in three different color/sized ribbons for depth and dimension. The dots are simply black frosting. Happy Birthday Shawna!

Happy 60th Anniversary!

My husband's grandparents celebrated 60 wonderful years of marriage this past Thanksgiving weekend. I had the great opportunity of recreating their wedding cake. They even cut and fed it to each other like on their wedding day :)
Very 1950's
