Hearts And Roses
This is the faux fondant method using Crusted Buttercream II recipe from this site.The roses are real. I made this in Oct 04 for my niece. It's white cake with buttercream filling. I used the faux fondant technique and Crusted Buttercream II icing. (icing recipe and tecnique found on this site) I got a lot of comments from people about the icing not being as sweet sweet as they have on many wedding cakes and I have to agree. I love the icing method because it gives the smoothe elegant look many brides want and the great taste of a nice buttercream icing.

Veteran's Memorial
Single Tier, 8' long, White Cake. The brick wall was made from styrofoam sheets, 2" thick, completely iced in royal icing, then sprayed with brick red dye. Each brick mortar joint was individually iced with white royal icing. The Veteran's Plaque was a Photo Image, overlaid with plastic to give marble effect. The entire sculpted piece was a replica of the actual Memorial. Each flag, American, Texas, and POW flags were hand-made. The entire model was set on top of the cake with 30 supporting columns.
