Hydrangeas And Roses Birthday Cake

Made this for a customer's wife's 56th birthday. He told me she likes hydrangeas and basket weave, so i designed the cake around that. The top tier is actually a hat box, but I ended up with so many flowers (and wasn't about NOT to put them on the cake hehe) that it's hard to see the lid. Cake: Top tier-6" round Chocolate Butter cake, buttercream, hazelnut mousse, chocolate ganache over the entire tier under the fondant basket weave. Bottom tier-10" square Golden Butter cake, buttercream, hazelnut mousse, cookies'n'cream filling, chocolate ganache, fondant. Decorations: Flowers, bow, curlicues, pearl balls-gum paste. Basket weave-fondant.

The cake: Bottom Tier - Chocolate Butter cake with buttercream, hazelnut mousse and cookies'n'cream fillings. Top Tier - Golden Butter cake with white and chocolate buttercream and hazelnut mousse. Covered in MMF. Flowers are Gum Paste. thanks for looking!

Hatbox Cake

I was inspired by Fairytale's Hatbox Cake and decided to try my own for a friend's baby shower. Never made a two-tier cake before, never used a lot of the techniques used here and thus, there was a lot of winging it and quiet swearing. In the end, though, I think it turned out ok, got transported ok, and mama-to-be and guests loved it :) Now I just have to figure out how to make my cakes smooth and get my MMF to look flawless... thinking about taking some classes to actually learn proper technique! Flowers are MMF and GP. Thanks for looking!
