Shocking Lime Wedding Cake |
This cake is a three tier white cake with whipped strawberry filling...funny thing, the bride doesn't like the taste of lemon or lime:) Rolled buttercream is difficult to work with but gives a great shine to the finished cake. Decorated with black royal icing dots, black ribbon and fresh limes and lemons. The leaves are also fresh and I think gave this cake a beautiful accent. |

Wescoat-Inspired Painted Cake |
![]() I used some of my favorite works from and artist by the name of Natasha Wescoat as inspiration for the design. This gorgeous cake creation is the winner of the Unique Wedding Cake Contest. Renay's attention to detail, clean appearance and artistic talent made it a stand out cake. To paint on fondant, the fondant must be completely dry. Otherwise you will create a sticky mess. Cover the cake the day before you want to paint it. It should be firm to the touch. You can either paint with powdered colors and a mix of vodka or lemon extract or use airbrush colors. |

Rat Wedding Cake |
![]() The cake is made with 2- 10" rounds. The filling is just butter cream with a butter cream crumb coat and marshmallow fondant. The top tier is the same but made with a wedge of a 6" round to look like a slice of the cheese. The rats are made with a 50/50 blend of gum paste and fondant. The holes are made by taking a circle cutter and lightly pushing it onto the fondant.The whole thing is painted with luster dust using vodka. I highlighted the circles with a thicker coat of luster to make them stand out. This was definitely my unique cake for the year :) |

The stripes and logo are fondant and the ring topper is gumpaste with a glass "diamond". You can make the diamond by molding isomalt, which is a natural sugar extracted from beets. |

Tie Dyed Fondant Wedding Cake |
Once rolled out it blends further. I finished the cake w/silk Astors (which the bride used throughout the wedding) & a purple ribbon. It was a HUGE success! |

Candyland Cake |
![]() Quilting is easiest to do with a quilting tool. It resembles a cutter, but comes with 3 diamond shapes stacked one on top of the other. You just measure the circumference of your cake to determine even spacing all the way around. If you are butting the diamonds together, and it's going to leave space around the back, then plan on covering the back with some sort of decoration. If even spacing creates a space in between each diamond, the space can be filled with a dot (piped, a candy, or a pearl). |
