Cinderella Barbie
Barbie is deceptively large cake with those long legs of hers! 5 layers of filled scrumptious Vanilla cake with Whipped Vanilla filling. Slathered in Vanilla/cream bouquet icing. MMF with lemon/cream bouquet flavoring. Super Pearl dust for whole cake (blue & white slip underneath). She shimmered IRL! 24 cupcakes (1/2 choc, ½ vanilla). Cupcakes have little blue flowers to match dress; dress has 2 little blue flowers in waist band. White yogurt butterflies. Pix doesnt capture teeny-tiny lace edging around the bodice & zipper up back. Barbie has a wrap, carrying a banner wishing Happy Birthday. Little girl just wanted a Barbie cake with A blue Dress Mommy, not a pink dress but a Blue dress like Cinderella!. (TX Dela/butterfly & super BIG TX to kats0196! She was awesome to help!!)

Flowers & Bows
I am a CSM member. Wanted a cake ultra-girly for a 60yr/o b-day. Lots of Pink!! 10 round, torted, stacked Raspberry Dream Cake. Layered with thick, undiluted full of flavor Raspberry sauce (TK Melyssa!), sandwiched in between a light, fluffy Raspberry cream. Whole thing iced in a half-n-half; ½ SMBC mixed with Vanilla BC (perfect combo of icing flavor & texture, IMHO). Decorated with cornelia lace, pink ribbon, pink bows, flowers, sweet-peas. Cake was very heavy so placed on covered plywood board. Rained cats & dogs & tho lots of decorating makes for fun, this one gave me grief. (CSM: thanks for critiquing!)

Cake Slice
Ever have a cake that gave you fits every step of the way? This gave me fits. Could not get the icing to behave! Wanted to shove the slice back into the cake & pretend it never left! ½ SMBC/1/2 BCDream, torted & filled with Baileys & White Choc Mousse Filling, layered w/Whipped Choc Ganache. Cake IRL wasnt too bad looking; photo shows every flaw. (I got to eat some & it was absolutely scrumptious flavor combo) (I am CSM member; CSM Welcome Critique!) All, TFL!!
