Beginning 2014 with Cakes

I started the New Year off with two cakes, both Birthday.

The sheet cake made for a 60th birthday, had a Hawaiian theme with a Lei made with mixed colored butter cream flowers and white chocolate sea shells, the other a luscious chocolate cake with a creamy chocolate frosting and yellow butter cream roses.

Cake for TWO Occasions

 

 

      They were celebrating 2 occasions at this party. A 25th Anniversary and a 60th Birthday.

 

 

 

 

 

Cake flavors were yellow butter with vanilla butter cream.

The flowers were fondant and butter cream.

Celebrating 60

Celebrating a 60th birthday with bright and bold colors of  lime, hot pink and black. The customer designed this cake from the large lime 60 on top to the dots and stripes down the side, all I had to do was follow her instructions. The flavor, marble cake with vanilla buttercream frosting. Cake size, a 9″ 3 layer.

60th Birthday, Orange & Hot Pink

    

I loved working with all the bright colors for this cake. The size was a 11×15 sheet with a 7″ single layer on top, flavors yellow butter cake with vanilla frosting. The stars & the 60 were  from fondant with wires attached to add a little extra fun and movement to the cake. The flowers were fondant & buttercream.                                 

I also baked cupcakes to go with the cake.

NOTE: I was worried that I might have spelled the name wrong on the cake but after checking with the customer she said it was fine. I guess there are a lot of different ways to spell many names.

A Tar Heel Birthday

The only request for this cake was for it to be “blue”.  I made  fondant stars  in gold, silver, black  & blue, attached them to wires and molded a 60, then dusted it gold. The top cake a 6″ round was cut at an angle to hold the numbers and did you notice the blue tar heel “foot”.  Just a little something extra for a Carolina fan. The 11×15 sheet cake was marble with vanilla butter cream.

    Note: I understand the cake was quite a hit with the party guest.
