I designed this cake after a vintage porcelain dresser tray. Customer asked for something elegant and pretty with no name or happy birthday. Buttercream with buttercream brush embroidery and the 21 is white chocolate painted with gold dust thinned with vodka.
Buttercream covered with MMF accents and gumpaste 3 with edible glitter to match customer's party ware.
Customer asked for a cake with bright artsy colors. MMF painted with vodka/gel colors, gumpaste numbers with edible glitter. Customer also requested 3 layers of a soft, perishable banana pudding filling that I was a little worried may bulge out because of the weight of the fondant, so I used the method of cutting a top circle of fondant for the cake, then cutting a long strip to roll over the sides and it worked perfectly! The top border covered the small seam where the pieces met and the cake stayed straight and beautiful.
My version of the pretty wedding dress cake I have seen so often here on CC for a couple getting married in Hawaii.
