Leighanne
I have decided to start naming my cakes after the people they are made for, so meet Leighanne. :)
This is a confetti cake with cherry icing and fondant flowers. I am frustrated with the tiny holes in my buttercream - I smoothed with parchment paper but I'm just not sure what's causing the bubbles/holes. Maybe I'll post on the forum with pics for some great advice...
Thanks for looking!

Very pretty. What did you make the petals out of?
Thank you all so much for kind words and words of wisdom - I made bc on low speed last night and it made all the difference. Thanks! Sarahscakes - the petals and centres are fondant.
Cute cake. try mixing your frosting on a lower speed. it will reduce the air pockets. hth
cute cake
very pretty cake!!!!
Very cute. Bubblezmom is right - it's caused by air in the icing
The cake is too beautiful to even notice the holes. I love the way you've posted the picture. How do you do this?
I love all the colors.. good job!!
OMG not to mention that the layout itself is the cake itself..WONDERFUL JOB on cake and layout!!
Did you just add cherry flavoring to thefrosting? It is a very pretty cake!!
The Layout gets THREE thumbs up!
Thank you so much! Yes, I added cherry flavoring to the buttercream - ymmmm.... BJ - I use Microsoft Digital Image Pro to layout my cake photos. Thanks again for all the kind words!
I love this cake......Good job... I love how you framed it too!!!!;)
The icing needs to be mixed at the lowest speed to keep the air pockets down. Never mix buttercream on high speed. Great cake. Love the color combination.
You Did A Great Job It Looks YUMMY!
love your cake and lay out.
beautiful cake! I mix my buttercream on a very low speed. That helps a lot with the air bubbles.
Another beautiful cake!!!!
Goodness I just can't get over how lovely your cakes are!
AWESOME Cake! You make it look so easy!

Tami, your cakes are just beautiful! I'm trying to control myself from adding them ALL to my favorites. You should do a picture book of just your cake photos!!!

Very nice
try using viva papertowels with the smooth side toward the cake. works every time :D
very beautiful cake
What a sweet cake. It's beautiful! I have the same problem with the bubbles. BUT.. your cake is so pretty, no one sees the tiny flaws! Great job!
I LOVE your daisies! They are so cute!!! :D how do you make them?
I love the cake, but I LOVE the pix! Photoshop? How did you do it?
Biscat, this cake is so pretty! I never would've notice 'holes' in your BC if you hadn't mentioned it. The cake is so nice that my eyes never wondered to any 'flaws.' I also love the layout and that cakestand! I've decided I'd like to start collecting unique cake stands, and I love this one.
I just love this.
