Pink Rosette Birthday
Birthday cake for my Mother in Law. I wanted to try a rosette cake like I have seen here recently. Not overly pleased with the result of my first effort, but it was late at night and I had to go with it as is. I embellished it with gumpaste flowers to fill in between the rosette and added a gumpaste flower topper. The cake is white chocolate with strawberry filling and buttercream icing

The baby is covered with a fondant blanket. The cake was butter cake with raspberry filling and vanilla buttercream. How fun to make the cake for the showeer for your own granddaughter.

Phoebe's Black And White Cake
Mixed shape wedding cake - white buttercream icing with black royal icing stenciling and fondant accents. The 18 square tier is a styrofoam dummy; 16 in round is white chocolate cake with raspberry filling; 10 in square is butterscotch cake with butterscotch cream filing; 8 in round is Key Lime cake with coconut cream filling and 5 in square is white chocolate with raspberry filling. This was my first time using stencils for a cake. Wedding day was very rainy and the reception was in a heated tent up 10 timber and grass stairs. I must give due credit to my dear husband for carring the cake without falling and without the cake getting wet. It was nerve wracking, but everything turned out great.
