35Th Anniversary Cake
This weekend my husband and I will be celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary. I was not planning on making a cake but decided on Tuesday that I was going. Had no design in mind but knew that I wanted to try making a gumpaste cake stand and figured this would be the perfect opportunity. Now that I look at the cake, doesn't really look like a summer cake but I went with Jade & coral ( at least my interpretation of those colors) to represent the 35th anniversary.

Hubby's Birthday Cake
No piña colada cake this year. This is Cannoli cake filled with chocolate mascarpone. I figured I would save him the trouble of scraping off the buttercream. He will only have to scrape off the flowers. Colors are probably more appropriate for a fall cake but didn’t want hubby to think the cake was girly. Took me forever to do this but I am very happy with it.

Foxgloves And Woodland Ferns
As soon as I saw this on Alan Dunn’s Craftsy class, I wanted to make them. I did use the orchid throat cutter from a Wilton set that I had for the foxgloves. The leaves and woodland fern were cut freehand. Now the Fern was a real challenge to do freehand but I’m happy with how it turned out.

Birthday Cake
My 14yr old great-niece was spending the day with me to do some art work for her room but when I went to pick her up I realized that today was her mom’s birthday. I gave her the option to do a cake for her mom and she jumped at the chance. We didn’t have much time because she overslept so we rushed home to put something together. I came up with the design and we got to work. I did the measuring but she did all the mixing. I showed her the tutorial for the flowes by The Violet Cake Shop and she made them with almost no help from me. Cake is chocolate filled with caramel and peanut butter frosted with dark/milk chocolate ganache. Don’t know who was happier the mom or the daughter.

My Birthday Cake
Wanted to try something a little different. Since figures are challenge for me that is what I decided to do. Unfortunately the heat and humidity were a problem and my figure did not dry completely and broke during the drive to my sister's house. Oh well. first making a square cake and was not a total success .
