Ruffled Wedding Cake

20 batches of cake, 4 cont. dye, 20lbs of fondant, and quite a few hours later...
None the less was a fun cake to work on!

Was my white cake each layer of cake was cut into two and filled with raspberry goodness.

I suppose the most challenging thing for me on this cake was to get the roses and rose petals to the "perfect" color! I had dyed the gumpaste and let it sit overnight, four times! Each time at the end it was "perfect" but by the next day was a completely different hue! Hoping to get a closer picture of the flowers eventually:)
Something about being the maid-of-honor and not thinking of getting any shots of the cake.. totally dependent on others. 

Thankful I could do this for my sister and even more thankful it was what she was looking for:)
Can't promise, but I hope there are more pictures for me to share later!

The Frilled Shower

 Had a lot of fun with this cake! Had about 30min to decorate this one (that part's a secret.... shhhh!)

I had been wanting to try this design for awhile - but no orders and no time to practice (sounds like a re-occurring situation), Got an order for a cake for a shower and they let me pick the design - knew exactly what I wanted to do! Et voila!

This Fantasy Flower was so simple, but it totally makes the cake! I have been trying to get this color purple for some time now as I have a wedding cake coming up with this exact color. Was a little concerned about getting the right color tone, but matched the dress swatch with this and it matched perfectly - was so excited!

Had to share this picture as well - this was the inside of this cake! As it was for something a little more formal I wanted to add a little special twist to your normal chocolate cake! I cut the layers so that I had 11 different layers all filled with a cream cheese filling - super moist, and turned out okay!

Thankful for family and friends that will give their honest opinion of these cakes - it's so much easier to improve for the next time then!

Pink, Orange, Gold

This is my favorite way of decorating cakes - totally fake cake!

No I do enjoy baking off a yummy cake and filling it will your favorite filling then designing it like you envisioned!

Wish you could see the top flower better - First peony - edged it in gold and all the ruffles as well are edged in gold pearl dust! 

Ruffles - new favorite fondant technique!

Mangolia - a new color

I've been wanting to try this new flower for awhile...

Gum Paste Flowers

This is a supplement course that I took while at Wilton. I was so thankful for the opportunity to take it and look forward to using these on future cakes!
Sorry for the late post!
