Our Cakes Throughout the Years: 40th Wedding Anniversary Cake

Here is a cake I made for my in-laws. This cake was to celebrate their 40th Wedding Anniversary. The bottom tier is vanilla cake with chocolate buttercream frosting. The middle and top tiers are chocolate cake with white chocolate buttercream. The cakes are covered in vanilla buttercream. The scrollwork is white chocolate buttercream painted with edible gold dust.

I handmade all the daisies out of fondant. The monogram and number 40 are handcarved out of gumpaste, and painted with edible gold dust. I used lavender-colored isomalt diamonds on the monogram as well.

Our Cakes Throughout the Years: Black and White Wedding

Black and White Themed Wedding

We created two black and white fondant covered cakes, a cupcake display, and a chocolate display for a wedding in October of 2009. The cakes were custom designed for the bride. The first cake was created with black fondant swags with black pearl drop center. The cake topper was placed on this particular cake. The black monogram cake topper was hand-carved out of gumpaste and decorated with edible black glitter. This cake topper was custom created for the couple. The second cake was decorated with black fondant swirls and black roses. The chocolates display featured: cookies and cream lollipops, pina colada jewels, raspberry jewels, milk chocolate monograms, peanut butter creams and nutella butter creams. We also created chocolate covered strawberries for the bride to present to her bridesmaids as a gift.

Our Cakes Throughout the Years: Blue Themed Wedding Cake

Blue Themed Wedding Cake

This cake was custom designed for a bride who wanted a blue wedding cake. The cake itself was marble cake with alternating layers of vanilla and chocolate buttercream filling. The cake was covered in a buttercream flavored fondant. We matched the color of the fondant to a swatch of the bridesmaids dresses. We placed black satin ribbon along the bottom of each tier, and placed large edible pearls on the sides of the cakes. The flowers on the top of the cake and cascading down it are real white colored gerbera daisies.

Our Cakes Throughout the Years: Winter Wonderland Wedding Cake

Winter Wonderland Wedding Cake
This cake was made for our final exam during the Wilton Cake Decorating Course. Kristen wanted to make it very different than what was to be expected. She always like to do things differently, and is not much of a cookie cutter type of girl. :o)
The snowflakes are made out of royal icing. Snowflakes lined the sides of both tiers of cakes. She made a large snowflake on top as the "cake topper". She also used white cake sparkles to represent snow on the cake.
