Bert & Ernie Birthday

I did this for the third birthday of the son of an old friend--her son LOVES Bert & Ernie (who doesn't?) It's vanilla cake with cookies & cream filling, vanilla almond buttercream, and Satin Ice. The characters and backing sign were all hand cut with an x-acto knife and pieced together like a puzzle. As always, please forgive the poor phone pic quality. I'm just too lazy to pull out the good camera for the free cakes lol

Star-Struck

This was something I threw together for my boyfriend's nieces who were celebrating their 3rd and 5th birthdays together, and I was really happy with the result since I didn't plan or sketch as I usually do. Inside is three layers of pink & purple swirled white cake, with dark chocolate mousse filling, vanilla almond buttercream, and finished with Satin Ice.

Mousse Cake

White and dark chocolate mousse surrounded by a thin sheet of pate a cornet almond biscuit and topped with stabilized creme chantilly and gianduja curls. The polka dots are actually a chocolate cake batter (pate a cornet) that is spread through a stencil onto parchment or silpat and then frozen. You then spread the biscuit batter over the frozen pattern and bake. When you're done you wind up with patterned sheets of cake. You can make the pate a cornet in multiple colors and pipe with it too.

Sugarpaste Flowers

My first ever sugarpaste flowers. Done in culinary school class taught by Ron Ben-Israel. My roses are a little too thick and the petals aren't cupped enough so they have almost a carnation-like shape near the bottom, and I didn't wrap my bud petals around the center tight enough, but I guess okay for the first time. I was very pleased with my tulips and callas. The filler flowers were just for fun.
