Butterflies For Joanne
This was for a second time customer. I like how it turned out. Of course, lots of little flaws. My cream cheese icing would not crust for some unknown reason ? so when I placed the deco on it the icing wrinkled a bit. Isn?t it weird how the same recipe you?ve used for years once in a while will act up for no apparent reason? Anyway, my first time making mini's (I made a video of easy they are - ask if you want to see it). The customer walked in, cried a little "oh!" and said. "I never thought it would be this pretty!" That's what it is all about, huh? TFL!! Red Velvet Cake (Southern Style, not CA style) with cream cheese icing tinted very pink. Mini red velvet cakes cover in cream cheese and topped with Satin Ice Fondant. Butterflies cut from fondant. Hand rolled border of purple balls brushed with Super Pearl, Magenta and Purple luster dusts. Edible beading finishes off the trim and butterflies.

Lilac Roses And Irises
My first time making BC irises. I learned using the DVD Buttercream Flowers by The Cake Genie. Pretty easy to follow. Not bad for a first try, but I do hope to get better. Anyway, these are the flowers and colors for the bridal party. I added the edible beads to the rose stems to bring in the beading on the bridal gown. OH! Also my first time making roses on a stick instead of a flower nail. MUCH EASIER!!!!! Thanks for looking!

Musical Birthday
She plays Violin and Piano. I got this idea from a cake I saw on Flickr. She said she got the idea from a cake on Cake Central. Everything is edible except the strings. They broke on the way up the mountain and I had to replace them with fishing line. This is the disastrous blow out cake I posted about last week.

Hot Rod In Chocolate Transfer
Not sure this is the correct category. Feel free to move it. The customer wanted a German Chocolate cake for her boyfriend's birthday. and wanted it decorated. Well, I think, German Chocolate isn't typically "decorated." AH! Chocolate transfer. He races hot rods so I came up with this.
