Silver Lined Feathers

This is not how I first envisioned the design... sometimes it's just "falls" together - Especially when you don't have a sketch, picture, or specific detail in mind.
Was able to do this cake after everyone went to bed, my favorite time to work on cakes (even though it was 3:30a.m.)! No distractions, no one to accidentally bump you... just concentration! 
My favorite detail about this cake is the feathers! Love how they add that extra little special something you know! Also love these colors together - Purple, white, and silver - so elegant!
Hope my client likes this one as much as everyone else does...
Cake - Three tiers of vanilla with vanilla filling!

Whimsical

Another Topsy Turvy One
Each type of cake is totally different when carving and stacking! Learning lots... the bottom layer of this one is carrot cake (which is a bit of a softer, more moist cake) covered in cream cheese icing which doesn't set super well! I definitely like using the Australian method when working with Topsy Turvy Cakes - but not everyone wants to pay for cakes covered in chocolate:)
Middle layer is the chocolate with raspberry filling! Easy to work with... and the top is white with mocha -- it's the top layer, doesn't matter a whole ton -- as long as it's carve-able!
Fun to work on -- lots I would change for next time though!

P.S. - So thankful for my sister that stayed up past midnight to help me finish this one!

Dramatic Topsy Turvy


I've been wanting to do a cake like this for a really long time, and finally MADE time this week! I was also excited to try the Australian Method - instead of using buttercream under the fondant you use chocolate ganache. It does put the cost up a bit, but it is SO much nicer to deal with!
