This is a blue Italian meringue buttercream iced wedding cake with pink Japanese anemones and was inspired by one of Elisa Strauss's more recent cakes. I think I really love Japanese Anemone now. There is no cutter for this flower. The cosmos petal cutter does a good job of substitution. Thank you for looking.
I could not have done this large cake without the help of two friends. There was a whole lot of piping on this cake with royal icing and then the royal was painted with gold lustre dust and vodka. The design comes from Mich Turner's book on Wedding Cakes which is highly recommended. Stunning work she does in England. Thank you for looking.

This cake was for a friend who is having a little girl. Thanks to Granny3angels for her fabulous baby shoes template. The flowers are gumpaste sweetpeas, hydrangeas and lilacs. The cake is dulce de leche cream in vanilla chiffon coverd in Italian meringue buttercream and white chocolate fondant.
This cake was made for a customer who needed a miniature wedding cake to watch the finale of The Bachelor.
Four year olds are into mermaids this year..don't ask me why. This one is made of gumpaste and I simply split the body and tooled it with the Dresden tool as if it were a leaf or flower petal. The bottom half is attached to the top half which was fashioned in a mold. Her hat was tooled similarly to the fins.
Hexagonal cakes can be tricky. I have Australian hand tinned hexagonal baking pans which are the most amazing baking pans I have ever used. This was an enjoyable cake to make because it was so big.
2",4",6",8" and 10" covered in a purple fondant. My gumpaste Sweat Peas and the royal icing scrolls are by my friend, Dan. This cake was for a small boutique wedding show in Seattle.

Yes, flowers can be piped with Italian meringue buttercream.. If you have never tried to pipe flowers with Italian meringue buttercream, try cooking your sugar syrup to 250 degrees and then pouring it in the whipped egg whites which have been stabalized with sugar.
I love the blue color of the ribbon and the contrasting color of the real orchids. This was an almond cake with tart cherry preserves and vanilla buttercream filling. The bride e-mailed from the honeymoon to say that table neighbors were stealing cake off each others plates!
These are not difficult to make. Because the little "bodies" are covered in "clothing", it is not important to have details other than the feet and hands and the head which I make with a mold. The hair comes out of a clay gun and the clothing are cut with either a tulip cutter or a peony cutter or any other cutter you like. You can put as many details as you like into these little fairies which take on a life of their own once they are lustered up!
This cake was for a real ballerina. I like to surprise my brides. In other words, as I work on a cake, I might decide to go the extra mile for a bride. This bride was particularly sweet and it was easy to go the extra mile. The cake is Swedish buttercake with chocolate mousse and chocolate cake with dulce de leche cream filling .. it is iced in Italian meringue buttercream.
This shade of red is not easy to obtain. It is best to allow your gumpaste and buttercream to sit for a day as you color it to make sure you are going to get the correct shade of red. Brides often do not understand that there are a huge number of shades of colors including red. It is advisable to get a swatch of cloth to use as a color guide.
