Happy Birthday Francesca!

This is a Birthday Cake for one of my best client's. She requested Red Velvet Cake to serve 20 people and then told me that I could design her Birthday Cake ANY WAY I WANTED! Now that's a cake I can get REALLY excited about.


I decided to do a design in black, white, and red that was sharp and crisp. Because that's how I see her. The design on the side of the cake was painted freehand. The red roses are made from gumpaste, as are the rose petals, and the leaves. The black on the top of the cake is piped in buttercream.

Happy Birthday Francesca!

Winter Wedding Cake. Congratulations Amber & Ryan!

It's such fun to work on a cake around the Holiday's. From Snowflakes, to Christmas Colors, to Lights, the presentation is just beautiful. This cake was made for the daughter of some good friends. It was such a blessing to make this cake for Amber & Ryan.

There are a total of 8 cakes. Flavors are pound, chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. The pound cake has a homemade raspberry filling. The rest of the cakes are strictly buttercream.

Amber was a really easy bride. I asked questions to get a feel for the style they wanted and once we worked that out, I would ask about different techniques and design options and got a lot of "whatever you think will look best". It made decorating this cake great fun because it is full of variety but not overdone.

Enjoy the photos! And Happy New Year!
