A Christening Celebration

30 Aug

for a baby boy.

Christening Cake

The flavor for this cake (a 10″ 2 layer round”) was a simple yellow butter cake with almond buttercream frosting. The cross was made of white chocolate, the flowers were buttercream white roses and tiny blue flowers cut from fondant.

A Different 3 Tier

18 Aug

I haven’t used these stands in quite some time but i’ve always liked the way the cake  looks using them. They make a small cake appear much bigger and it’s very easy to cut.   This one is a 6″-8″-10″ yellow butter  cake with raspberry buttercream filling and almond frosting. I piped a criss/cross design with lily-of-the-valley on the sides. Fresh flowers provided by Aldena’s florist.Brooks 5th Anniversary

Green Hydrangea Wedding

Herman wedding cake

I have made so many square cakes this year but i had not used the color combo of  brown & green. Each tier was wrapped with a dark brown ribbon. I piped a willow branch on each tier  to give the sides a design. The flowers  were provided by Aldena’s Floral Design’s. The flavors were classic butter cake filled with raspberry buttercream and iced with vanilla buttercream. The cake was topped with a single M monogram made of pearls.Monogram close-up

An August 1st Wedding

Vagas & Miranta Wedding Cake

The design I used on this 4 tier I’ve done before but people seem to like it a lot.  On this one I added the sugar bow on top instead of flowers. The flavors were yellow butter cake and marble with vanilla buttercream frosting.

The venue for this wedding and reception was the National Country Club near Pinehurst.
