Party Cakes
Well, it’s been forever, so I will keep this post short and sweet and get right to the cakes. Once again I am without my picture editing software as I have again changed computers, but here are the best shots I got of this one. It is a white cake with berry-rhubarb filling and vanilla buttercream frosting. As you can see, it’s decorated with a basketweave, and leaves. (Hence the “leaf-ing” if my terrible pun wasn’t clear.) Enjoy!
Bad pun, good cake.

What young lady wouldn’t enjoy a princess cake for her third birthday?
Princess Cake!
This white cake was tinted pink (of course!) and filled with raspberry jam. I made the tiara on top from pink candy melts (white chocolate-based chocolate wafers for melting). The gems are diamond shaped fruit snacks - which were very tasty I might add - and the pearls are edible pearls I made by hand. The gem on top is a ring pop. It is iced in pink buttercream. Tasty!

Baby Shower Cakes,
Buttercream,
Fondant
Baby Shower Cake!
This baby shower cake was an ambitious project. I was originally going to separate the layers with pillars, but after some technical difficulty, (my blocks came out too big and couldn’t go on the top) I decided to separate the tiers with them instead. They spell out “baby” if you were to turn the cake. The baby’s gender is unknown, hence the more neutral colouring.
Only the top tier is covered with fondant (Mommy-To-Be is not a fan.) The lower tier is iced in buttercream, and all the borders and detailing are buttercream also. The ribbon on the top tier is made with fondant.
The blocks are made from Rice Krispie Squares that I shaped into cubes and covered with fondant. Fully edible, and they each weigh about a ton, haha. The cake inside is vanilla, with layers tinted blue and pink.
All in all, it didn’t turn out quite like I had planned, but it still tasted delicious and was a big hit. What more could I ask for, right?
