Yellow & Brown Bow Cake

This birthday cake was for a couple celebrating
their 60th and 65th birthdays. I was asked to
create one cake for both birthdays.



So, I decided to do a stripe on the bottom tier to be
slightly more masculine for his birthday. I quilted
the top layer and also added little flowers for her birthday.
Then I topped the entire cake off with a bow!

It's a 4" almond cake with almond buttercream frosting, and
a 6" chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream frosting.
Decorations in fondant, chocolate fondant and gumpaste.

Happy Birthday!

Fez Hat Birthday Cake

This cake was for a gentleman celebrating his 40th
birthday. His wife said he likes Fez hats and asked if
I could make a cake like that. Well, here it is!



It's is about 6" tall, with 5 layers of cake.
It has chocolate, vanilla and strawberry cake inside.
Vanilla buttercream frosting and then covered in fondant.
Decorations in gumpaste and fondant.

Happy Birthday Mike!

thank I can take on at the moment.

Status update

I thought it was time to post a status update
on the search for a new place to bake.

I'm in talks about a space to lease and
if all goes well within the next week,
then it's a go!

I don't want to tell the location yet, but
don't worry, it's close by, and I think
you all will really like it!
