Delft-Blue Anniversary Cake

Delft-Blue Anniversary Cake on Cake Central

Most of this cake is dummy. It is for my first wedding anniversary. I went cheap at my wedding and bought a store cake before I started decorating myself. I made the only real cake the third tier. It is a coconut flavored sponge cake with coconut buttercream filling. The fondant is MMF and the decorations are hand painted. I used three votive candleholders for the lift. The topper is a set of salt-pepper shakers. I have had a ball planning and making this cake.

It is freehand. I figured out the design with the computer and painted it with a bamboo calligraphy brush. I got the neatest porcelain palette for brush painting. It doesn't stain like plastic.

I was going to tell you I loved your hearts but something happened with my computer and it posted twice. Anyway, Your handpainted work is marvelous!
