Roses And Pearls
This cake is my homage to Pairiedog whose original jewel-like cake far surpasses any lame attempt on my part. When I showed Prairiedog's cake photo to a dear friend who is coping with chemotherapy, she exclaimed it was the most beautiful she'd ever seen so i felt compelled to at least try to give her this jewel. It's vanilla butter cake with strawberry buttercream filling, chocolate ganache undercoat with white chocolate fondant. Gumpaste roses, white chocolate fondant pearls and hydrangea flowers all pearlized.

Zebra Cake
Standard zebra cake (does anyone know when, why and from where it was devised?) for an 11 years old birthday girl. Strawberry cake, strawberry mousseline filling, strawberry flavored fondant. Sugarpaste flowers and cake board. Fondant pearls, royal icing lettering. Inspired by a very gifted (and much more skilled) caker/decorator, Jessica Mitchell of Cakes Infinity in Mooresville, NC.

Wedding Cake With Sugar Paste Flowers
Square wedding cake: french vanilla cake with mousseline fillings: mango, strawberry and lemon, buttercream frosting, sugar paste flowers, the lit cake stand was inspired by a posting here on CC for which I give great thanks to Chippi and Ramacake. The lighted stand seem to float when the lights were turned low.
