This lovely red rose cake was for a wedding anniversary party! It was my first time working with tiers that were slightly raised, because I had to fit the roses in between each layer. It definitely is trickier and little bit of a balancing act, but it all worked out in the end.
The red roses were all fresh, and I used about 5 dozen. But I love the look that the red roses gave to the cake. They definitely completed the look and made it stand out with bold colour.
This is one of my favorite cakes. Its very simple, but stunning at the same time. Thanks so much Karen for asking me to make the cake!
Now this next cake was for my dear friend Jennifer's wedding. The top and bottom layer I used a stitching tool and pearl sugar beads, and then the middle layer was just a free hand design that accents the ribbon on the top and bottom layer. I absolutely love the design on the ribbon, and surprisingly I got it at Michaels.
There was a few different requests from the bride, groom, and others in terms of the cake flavour, so we decided to do three different flavours. The bottom layer was chocolate, the middle was red velvet, and the top was gluten free vanilla. So hopefully everything was satisfied:)
The final touches to the cake were the hot pink dogwood flowers, which were made out of gumpaste and fondant. They didn't curl up as much as I wanted them too. A good tip I learnt is that the thinner you roll the gumpaste/fondant flower the more they resemble a real flower and the right shape and curl to them.
Thanks so much Jenn for asking me to do the cake!!!!!!
