This cake was for September at my husband’s work. It was based off another cake I had seen online. All fondant with gumpaste flowers. I used my airbrush to give it a gradient. Cake sizes are 4″, 6″ & 8″.

Back in June of 2007 I was asked to make a bridal shower cake for my wonderful cousin, Aly. This cake pic has had a home at the top of the blog since day 1 and I get SO many comments on that cake. Well now 3 yrs later we are celebrating the soon to be born baby to this wonderful couple! So of course I was excited to do the baby shower cake! I went off of the party ware they had purchased ~ see a pic below to compare Cake is all buttercream except the birds and nest, which are gumpaste.

Wedding!

I had the honor of making my mom’s wedding cake in early June. She requested the floating tiers and said she was using pink but otherwise let me do as I wished. So I ended up getting myself some new cutters to learn peonies and added in the hydrangeas and roses I already knew. The rest of the cake is buttercream. The hydrangea blossoms on the side are gumpaste like the top flowers. These tiers were 8″, 10″ and 12″.
