Our Cakes Throughout the Years: Cinco de Mayo Cake

   This is a cake I made to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. I love how frilly and vibrant Mexican folk dresses are, so I decided to make a cake that was inspired by those dresses.  

   The cake is a lime, avocado and ginger cake with a mango cream cheese filling.  The multi-colored frosting used to decorate the cake is a strawberry-flavored buttercream frosting.

Our Cakes Throughout the Years: Birthday Cake

This was a cake I made for a nun's birthday. Being the good Catholic girl that I am, I wanted to make the nun and the big man upstairs happy. LOL

The cake is a yellow cake with apricot jam filling, and coconut buttercream frosting. The nun's favorite color is lavender, so I added lavender-colored ruffles on the sides of the cake, and a lavender-colored flower on top. I also sprinkled chopped coconut around on the inside border of the cake.

Our Cakes Throughout the Years: Bridal Shower Cake

I decorated this cake for one of my mom's co-worker's bridal shower at work. The cake is covered in vanilla-flavored pink buttercream. I created a swirled pattern on the top of the cake just to do something different than a typical sheet cake design. I handcarved a silhouette of a bride and painted her with edible pearl paint. I also made tiny roses to go in her bouquet, and one for her hair. I handmade fondant roses to adorn the corners of the cake. I also got inspired by a pink ruffle cake design to make a ruffle pattern on the sides of the cake.
