It's wedding season!!!



I had two wedding cakes this past week. Both wedding cakes had enormous amounts of cupcakes involved! The first cake was a white cake with vanilla filling, with green hydrangeas and 150 white and chocolate cupcakes. The Bride LOVED it! I can't wait to see pictures of it from the day of, when they had it all set up!
The second cake was for an old friend, she had 300 mini cupcakes. The top cake was chocolate with chocolate gnache and strawberry shortcake. All the mini cupcakes had strawberry kiwi flavoring too! It was delish!

Toooo long!



Alrighty so this post is coming way to long since the last one. I've been so crazy busy with all sorts of things, not the least of them being cake making.
So I'm going to start with a few of my favorites. I was asked to create a T-Rex cake for a little boy. They wanted a character cake for the family dinner and then a 3D cake for the party. After much debating, a few moments of sheer terror, and at least one panic attack this is what I came up with.
The cake was white cake with grasshopper filling, I had so much fun airbrushing this cake! I gotta say I just love my airbrush. All in all I think it was definetly worth the effort!

It's a Bird.. no it's a plane!






I was asked to make a replica of a piper cub airplane for a 90th birthday. So I decided to take some pictures as I went through the process so you guys could see what it looks like :)






First I had to make a base for the cake. So we cut the shape of the plane 25inches long and 8 inches at the widest part.




Then I put on 6 cakes each were a 9x13, cut and shaped them to fit the base
when I was finished I covered the cake with Fondant, and airbrushed it to match the original plane.





And this is the finished piece!
