Buttercream with pink accents


Fondant not your style? Try a simple buttercream frosted cake. On this cake we used a thick light pink ribbon around each layer and topped the cake with light pink gum paste roses. This cake will serve approximately 78 people serving all three layers. On the inside there is a delicious devils food chocolate cake with a milk chocolate ganache filling.

Simple Elegant is in!


Here is another simple elegant cake with classic bold colors of black, white and red. This cake is a fondant covered cake with a pulled sugar red rose on top. You can do the same design and change out the color of ribbon and rose!

This cake serves approximately 78 people serving all three layers.

My new fave!


It isn't often that I am able to work on cakes that I want to make, usually a bride shows me a cake she wants, and I make her dreams come true. Well, I needed to make some display cakes and this is one that I have had the idea for, but haven't had a reason to make. Funny that I made it now, because there is a bride that is interested in this idea, but using square cakes. I am looking forward to showing this to her. This apple blossom tree is made with gum paste flowers. The cake is a light sage green fondant. This is still a work in progress, more to do to it, but couldn't wait to share!

As always, enjoy!
