Ii set this wedding cake up at the Loose Cannon Art Gallery recently. I love the venue, but it's always dark in there. Their one of the reasons I invested in a bounce flash for the camera. This is one of the pictures with the bounce and I thought it turned out pretty good. As with all my photography skills, I still have a LOT to learn!!
This cake is mostly buttercream with some fondant accents. And silver dragees! Oh the dragees!! Seriously, I really love the look of the edible pearls and the silver dragees, but I have to put them on JUST before I deliver the cake, which depending on the delivery schedule for the day, can be a real pain.
The florists were setting up as I was delivering the cake. There is supposed to be a lot of roses below the top tier, but they were running short and had t go back to the shop. They did let me play with the3 they had left to get a semi-decent shot.
Nothing technically new or terribly difficult going on here. I did use my Cricut Cake on the monogram (man I LOVE that thing!!)
Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!!

Gimme a "C" !
Sometimes you can do everything JUST right and still mess up, right? Take Caroline's birthday cake for example. Sweet Caroline is a cheerleader for the Jackets, so she wanted a cheerleading cake for her big day.
I got her mascot's logo, made little custom flags, and even printed out a birthday sash. I sculpted a megaphone cake topper, made gumpaste star doomies, and put a cute harlequin pattern around the cake.
I even topped it all with a modeling chocolate 3. But Caroline was FOUR! Now her Mom noticed it right away, and I immediately made a replacement "4" out of some modeling chocolate, but it still left me feeling off my game a bit. It certainly left me with a new resolve and commitment to read each order several times while working on the cake.
