Whew! One more cake to go this week! This cake is for a bachelorette party and the colors are pink and black. The bride LOVES Hello Kitty and the sister of the bride asked me to make a cake and incorporate a hello kitty bride and groom. This is my first time sculpting a topper so I made it a week earlier so it had time to dry out and not fall when standing.
The cake is a red velvet cake with a cream cheese buttercream. All of the piping is in the CCB and the Hello Kitty toppers are made of a mix of fondant and gum paste.

What a Crazy Week! 2 down!
This cake is for a baby shower where the theme was pink and brown. The client emailed me pictures and I used them as inspiration but created something new. The cake has a lot of different flavors and everyone loved it!
The bottom tier is a layer of vanilla and a layer of chocolate with a chocolate mousse filling. The vanilla layer was died pink so the inside was also pink and brown. The top tier is a layer of vanilla and a layer of strawberry with a strawberry and buttercream filling. The strawberry layer was pink from the strawberry preserves added so the inside of the tier was white and pink. The entire cake was covered in chocolate fondant and decorated with a mix of fondant and gum paste.

1 cake down, 3 more to go
This is a very crazy week! I have 4 cakes to make so I will post a picture of each of them when they are completed! This first cake is for a baby shower at my mother-in-law's work. She didn't know what she wanted it to look like so I made a more simple design like I had made before. Since it was a hit the first time I knew it would work at another job as well.
It's a lemon cake with a raspberry filling topped with raspberry buttercream. I used the same batter to make some mini cupcakes and filled with the raspberry. I didn't get a chance to take a picture of them but from the feedback I got, they were delicious and didn't last very long!
