I always like making charm cakes and I have made quite a few. It’s fun seeing all the different charms that are chosen for the bridesmaids to pull. The 10″ yellow butter cake was filled with raspberry buttercream and iced in vanilla buttercream. The charms with green ribbon attached, were tucked under the flowers in the center.
Violets in 3 shades and a pink rose surrounded with swirls and dots completed the design.
This cake was made for a fun occasion, a class reunion with a few friends all turning 70 in the month of May. A yellow butter cake filled with a luscious raspberry buttercream and frosted in almond buttercream. Cake size a 10″ 2 layer. Flowers were buttercream, the 70 was fondant. Flowers around the cake top edge were piped lily of the valley. 
As you can see this is how I spent my Wednesday afternoon. I’m getting ready for Easter. I have sheet cakes and cupcakes to do and they need lots of flowers. I like to make a rainbow of colors and types of flowers. They are buttercream so I let them air dry till I can pick them up and place where I want them on the cakes/cupcakes. I’ll post the cakes later.
Have a Happy Easter !!!
This cake was for an engagement party with a gambling theme. All the red and black designs were cut from fondant, the Lucky 7 dice was also fondant. Cake flavor, marble with vanilla buttercream frosting. Good Luck and Best Wishes to Chuck and Karie.
Having no cakes to post this week I am sharing a photo of my cats . Because of the snow that’s been falling here all day my cat TK was not happy. I caught her staring forlornly out the window, while Sam seemed very content to be inside.
Here she’s giving me her surprise look.
Here are the last of my cake photos for the year 2010. This year has not been as busy as 2009 not as many weddings but lots of cakes for other occasions.

It’s always fun to make one of these cakes. There are so many charms to choose from and each one has a special meaning. Some times people write their own meanings if they want to say something really personal that relates to the wedding party but most often they use the ones that come with the charms. Here the charms are tied to ribbons and tucked under the pink roses on the top. Cake flavor, yellow butter cake with vanilla frosting the roses are buttercream and the tiny pink ones are fondant. Cake size 10″ round with a single 6″ on top. The cake was for a bridesmaid luncheon being held at Morehead City, NC.
I made this cake for a bridesmaids luncheon to be held on Friday. I also have the wedding cake on Saturday the 16th. I squared off the cake for easy serving. The brown dots and coral color were copied from the party invitation. Flavors were yellow butter cake with vanilla /almond buttercream frosting.
I created this cake for a party that was given for a family that was moving to another state. I used the butterfly in flight as a symbol for the move/going away. Cake flavor was chocolate with vanilla buttercream. The butterfly & flowers were fondant.
