Petite and Pink!

We have some awesome friends who decided to get married. We were hoping for a huge wedding to celebrate but they decided to go small and off to the court house they go. In talking with them I learned they were not going to have a wedding cake. That doesn't sound like a proper way to start a life together to this cake decorator!


THEY NEEDED A CAKE! RIGHT?

The bride is simple and elegant. So we decided on a quilted design with edible pearls. I have never done a quilted pattern before but I am up to most challenges. I am very pleased with the way the quilting turned out. I also for the first time used ganache under the fondant to give the cake a smooth finish. It was finished off with some homemade pink gumpaste roses.

Ace of cakes NOT! But I love my cakes

Each time I do a cake someone asks me if I have seen Ace of Cakes. Of course I can, I am however not up to his caliber nor do I want to be. I put my heart and soul into each and every cake I make. I am very proud of them.

It has been a little over a year and I look back on those cakes and see how much I didn't know. I learn so much with each cake I make.

Below are a few of my latest cakes.
