Gerbera Daisy Wedding Cake!

I had the pleasure of making a wedding cake for today for a woman I go to church with.  I also made her 75 wedding cake shaped cookies for favors.

The bottom and top tiers are 4 layers of chocolate cake with 2 layers of chocolate raspberry truffle filling and a middle layer of vanilla buttercream.  The middle 2 tiers are vanilla 4 layers of vanilla cake and 3 layers of vanilla buttercream.  They're covered with fondant and I made the black detail using fondant cut with my cricut cake.  I decorated it with handmade gum paste gerbera daisies airbrushed pink.

My cookies were decorated with pink details, gum paste flowers with sugar pearl centers and a monogram made out of sugarveil cut in my cricut.

"Hooked" Bridal Shower Cake

This cake was made for my son Max's teacher, who we LOVE, so it was extra special! I made a 3 tier cake- bottom layer was chocolate with chocolate raspberry truffle filling and a layer of vanilla buttercream, middle vanilla cake with vanilla pudding and vanilla buttercream and top layer strawberry cake with strawberry filling and vanilla buttercream. I covered it with fondant and piped on the quilted pattern with royal icing. The topper was called "Gone Fishing" and was chosen because of the grooms love of fishing. Where each line meets I put a white sugar pearl. I hope she liked it!

Bridal Shower

This is my new favorite cake! The lady that ordered it sent me an invitation for the bridal shower and I pulled design ideas from that. This is 1 tier of vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream and 1 tier of chocolate with chocolate raspberry truffle filling. I covered it with fondant. The flowers I made with gumpaste and airbrushed. This was my first time making gumpaste flowers, I might add. The butterflies are also gumpaste that I airbrushed and then brushed on silver luster dust. The tiles are fondant squares that I individually airbrushed. This was a really fun cake!

WEDDING!

This was my first "real" wedding cake. It was a 4 tier cake covered in ivory fondant. The top and bottom tiers were 4 layers of chocolate cake and 3 layers of chocolate truffle filling, raspberry jam and fresh raspberries. The 2 middle tiers were 4 layers of vanilla cake and 3 layers of vanilla buttercream. The bride provided the leaves for the cake and I made a sort of scrolling design on each layer with royal icing.

It was lots of fun to make and definitely a learning experience! I'm looking forward to my next wedding.

Halloween Wedding

I made this for a couple who was getting married on Halloween. My impression was that the marriage was a side bar to the Halloween party...lol. They were dressing up as "the bride and groom of death" as the lady put it. Not my thing, but whatever. I made chocolate cake with homemade strawberry filling and I covered it in fondant. I made black fondant roses and made spider webs with royal icing and accented with silver dragees. The skull on top was the only non-edible thing.
