Grand Wedding Cake

The cake was inspired by the brides colors blue and white and the gift box theme she wanted. I wasn't quite sure how the design would turn out even though I sketched out a design prior. Sometimes I go on automatic and I do not stop until I am satisfied with the design. Usually it requires me to add some paint and shimmer to the cake.
My favorite part has to be the bling on the second tier. I just think that the fondant bows surrounding it is just too pretty. The cake serves over 250 people. 6 tiers tall, silver platter making it even taller. 
Overall I am very pleased, and I know the couple was too!!! 

Thanks for an awesome cake design, although hard and verrrrry time consuming the result was soooo worth it.

DragonFly Birthday


This cake was a birthday cake of obvious age due to the topper. My inspiration for the color combination and whimsical dragonflies was taken from the invitation. Although the dragonfly on the invite was very different I really liked how mine turned out.
The cake is completely covered in buttercream with a fabric ribbon accenting each tier. The additions including the 60 topper is all made of gumpaste.
This cake is one of my favorites to date due to the combination of colors and cute dragonflies... what can I say I'm a girl :)
