More of this color; seems like I've seen a lot of pool blue this year. Sugar diamonds don't show up well on imbc, but they're on there...satin ribbon, gp flowers.
all imbc, painted fondant ribbon and gp bow. She wanted it to look like a Cinderella wedding, except he didn't want any flowers involved at ALL, so this is what we did instead. I loved it, and so did they
all imbc, with royal icing stars and 'road' going up tiers
buttercream cakes, gp flowers, set up was supposed to be outside in 97 degrees, but found this somewhat cooler inside doorway; hope it worked out, heat wise!
This was inspired by a photo the bride brought me from somewhere...After I got into the piping (lots of dots!), I realized it reminded me a pretty French wallpaper from a palace somewhere :) Loved how it turned out, and so did they. Bottom tier was a 15" dummy, the rest was 6, 9, 12".
All IMBC 4, 6, and 8" squares, GP monogram plaque. Matched to a magazine photo she brought in; wish I knew who did the original, but it was so fun to recreate. I loved it!
basic black and red; one of my favorite combos.
4, 6, 10, 12" squares designed by and done for an old friend from high school..we incorporated the pom pom/floral design to match her reception
All imbc with GP callas, satin ribbon.
rounded squares, all imbc overlaid with fondant appliques that were then overpiped with royal icing and some scrollwork. One of my favorites ever! And one of the most gorgeous venues I've ever been in ;)
All IMBC with royal navy pinstripes done by HAND agh. Talk about not planning ahead for how much time this would take and how HARD it would be, but a ruler, a lot of holding my tongue right, and 2 hours later, I loved how it turned out. Painted gp hydrangeas to match her color.
I 'got my Wilton on' and proved to myself I still know my way around a bunch of icing tips. Had lots of fun doing this retro 6 and 8" for a customer's parents' 50th, whose mom was a cake decorator way back when. She said the only rule was "you can't *over*decorate it; go ornate".
Imbc cake with royal icing scrollwork painted silver, royal icing eiffel tower made from a template out of ACD magazine awhile back. GP peonies painted dark purple. Super fun to make!! And I didn't break any of the pieces... :) which was a thrill in itself! Made to 'make up for' an apparent total botch of a prior Paris themed wedding cake from last year (not by me, ahem).
yummy layers of champagne cake filled with chocolate ganache and strawberry mousse; chocolate cake with PB mousse, and red velvet with cream cheese filling, BC and royal hand-piped hand-painted feathers. I had SO much fun painting this. Used real feathers for the color inspiration, and thank goodness, because she had real feathers on the table, and they matched so well that the kitchen staff thought the cake had real feathers on it--so that totally made my day. :) Used peacock blue, smoky violet, jade, super green, gold, old gold, and spanish moss luster dusts to blend my colors...fyi
all purple gift boxes, fondant and gp ribbon accents with luster painting and gp tag.
16th birthday surprise cake for the daughter of one of my brides. 4, 6, 8" cakes, royal board, Cricut cut letters, feather boa trim. I added black tiny dots to the letters after the photo, but didn't get a pic of that. Loved this one too!
I'll say it. I LOVE this cake. Ordered the myom online and made the bottle mold, then did my first sugar bottles (loved them!), printed labels (not edible, but ah well), and my first sugar ice cubes (easy!), an 8 and 9" chocolate cake filled with cherries and Bettercream, and used 2 bottles of Duff's silver luster spray (loved that, too!), GP lime and bottle opener, brown sugar "sand", and voila! They loved it too! One of my favorite cakes I've ever done. Bar none.
A vow renewal cake done to match her dress details in the color, belt, buckles and flower. GP flower and buckles, sugar diamonds. Also did "purple" velvet, an alternative to red velvet. Just substitute purple food coloring, and voila--purple cake.
A birthday cake, fondant, marbled blue and white on top, hand painted bottom, fondant "deck" base board, GP man and beer bottle etc. Blue piping gel for water. They loved it, and so did I! :)
One of my favorites yet. Offset squares with TONS of gorgeous flowers for me to play with, and yummy to boot: chocolate w/pb mousse, carrot cake, and lemon poppyseed/lemon
that's what she wanted, (as opposed to a redneck wedding), and I really love how the cake turned out. A 4, 6, 10" red velvet top 2 tiers, german chocolate bottom tier.
fastest cake I ever did. From baked layers in saran in the fridge, to making icing and taking this photo: 2.5 hours total time.
