Sample Cakes

I had an engaged couple over to discuss their wedding cake options the other day! For the meeting, I made up some samples to try!

This first one was a spice cake with cream cheese filling.Second was some chocolate cupcakes with a whipped vanilla cream filling. Topped with a chocolate buttercream and gold sugar sprinkles.The last was a vanilla cake filled with a raspberry cream filling.It was a success and I booked a wedding cake / cupcakes tier for July! I can't wait to do it!

My First Wedding!

My brother, Travis, got married this past weekend! I was thrilled and nervous that they wanted me to do their wedding cake! it was my first wedding cake. Their theme was fall, decorations and colors, she thought pumpkins would be cute as the topper, she wanted the fondant brown, and instead of stacked she wanted them placed out separately, one carrot, one pumpkin spice and one vanilla. She sent me a few pictures of ones she had found as references and all had fall leaves on them. So here is what I came up with...I used stamps for the leaves, made the impression in the fondant, cut them out and then hend painted them once they dried. The pumpkins are also made out of fondant. This is the top tier, french vanilla cake with a raspberry cream filling.This is the middle tier that is a pumpkin spice cake with a whipped vanilla cream cheese filling.And this is the bottom tier, the one they cut and fed to each other. Carrot cake is my brother's favorite, so that is what this is with the same whipped vanila cream cheese filling as the middle!And here they are set up at the wedding reception! I had a blast making them and hopefully can do some more in the future!

Wilton Course 3 Final...I PASSED! :)

OK, not hard to pass the class...all you really gotta do is pay your money and show up! :) But I think I really pulled it off for this one! Tiered on little pedastals, fondant covered, fondant roses - in 3 different colors - very pretty and very yummy! The top tier is a spice cake and the bottom tier is a yellow cake with raspberry buttercream filling!
