Alison and Darryl’s Wedding Cake

The day was a little dark and gloomy with a chance of rain but the Little River Country Club was decked out for a beautiful wedding reception.  I made this cake for one of MY fellow class mates  ( class of 1955) daughter. I was very happy they asked me to do it. The 4 tier yellow butter cake was filled with a luscious black raspberry butter cream and frosted with vanilla butter cream. Each tier was wrapped with Sangria colored ribbon. Fresh flowers provide by Aldena’s florist.

I also made a groom’s cake, a small chocolate sheet cake for the rehearsal dinner. This couple loves to camp. The theme for that cake of course was “camping”.

MY Best Wishes to Darryl and Alison

Ending July With A Bang

With July ending today I find I have a few cakes that I have not posted. Most are birthdays but the first 2 are for a young man and his friends having a special Scout celebration and later Richard gets to celebrate his birthday .      

 

 

 

                                             This was Richards birthday cake. He is a NC State fan.

  Pink butter cream roses for Jean.

 

 

 

 A flamingo for Yvette

This one I had to correct the name spelling on before it was picked up but I had already taken the picture. I made the flamingo out of fondant.

 

 

June Celebration Cakes

I can hardly believe June is gone. It seemed to go by so quickly. Haven’t had a lot of weddings this June but have had lots of birthday and other celebration cakes. Here are pictures of  just a few of them.

                     

            

                     

  

 

70 and Counting

 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. 

Pretty In Pink

 

 I think this one turned out really pretty, soft and romantic looking. Everything a wedding cake should be. I love the shades of the blush roses with a hint of a deeper color. Cake flavors were yellow butter with chocolate fudge filling and vanilla buttercream frosting. Simple but good. The sheet cakes that were added for extra servings were not filled,  just in case SOME people couldn’t eat chocolate. The reception was held at the Country Club Of  North Carolina.  Flowers by Aldena’s florist.

Lavender Stripes and Purple

Ending the month of April with another stripes and dots cake. I like the color combination of lavender, dark purple and teal. The bright pink rose adds just the right “pop” of color that I needed. Cake flavors were classic butter with black raspberry filling and almond buttercream frosting.

 

Miss Mary’s Birthday

 

Some call her Mamma, others call her Miss Mary, either one will be fine. Celebrating a 90th birthday is a special occasion.

 

A 40th Birthday

This is one of my favorite flavors, yellow butter cake with a yummy chocolate frosting. The pink flowers I made with my vanilla  buttercream recipe. What’s your favorite cake?

Sugar Flowers

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 !!!
