Fresh Daisies

Fresh Daisies

4-tier cake with yellow ribbon and fresh daisies for a June wedding. WASC cake with almond buttercream and MMF. I had asked the bride to request flowers for the cake through her florist and wasn't too happy with what they left for me (low quality fillers that weren't even wired and taped yet), but despite that it turned out okay!

I have to explain this one a bit! This was for my nephew's first birthday party...Dad is an artist and designed the invitations/party theme himself. It was supposed to be kind of abstract, like kids took markers or paint and doodled on everything. I took the patterns/colors from the invitations and replicated them on the cake -- the borders are fondant balls and I painted on the cake using icing colors mixed with vanilla extract. It was my first time using this technique and I had so much fun! My nephew's name on the top is 'Avin', the letters were supposed to be a little crooked and offset. This is yellow cake with vanilla buttercream and MMF. I told them I was glad it was supposed to look like a kid drew on it, because I 'draw' about as well as a kid! This was a very different cake for me (and thus quite a challenge!), but I'm really happy with how it turned out.

All-White Poinsettia Cake

All-White Poinsettia Cake

My sister-in-law had a very small, informal wedding but wanted a pretty little cake. It was Christmas Eve so I made poinsettias from fondant/gumpaste and did it all in white. You can't really tell in the photo, but I added a bit of all-over sparkle with some white luster dust. WASC with almond buttercream.

I made this for my daughter's 5th birthday this weekend, we had an Ariel party. I marbeled the fondant to look like water, the bottom layer darker than the top because it's "deeper." I used brown sugar for sand and made the flowers out of fondant. The seaweed is buttercream and the seashells are chocolate (Wilton candy mold). The cake is yellow with regular buttercream.
