Close up of top, one "cut" butterfly and one "painted" butterfly on cluster of "hydrangea."

This cake has a 6" tier and an 8" tier and would provide 32 party servings or 36 wedding servings.

Princess Grace's 5th Birthday

This cake was done for a little girl turning five. She was having a princess birthday. Her favorite color is pink, but we used purple too, for contrast.



Cake was white with buttercream and raspberry filling, covered in marshmallow fondant. Decorations (stripes, pearls, bow are fondant; dots on pink quilting and writing are buttercream).

On the top of the cake are "jewels" made of hard strawberry candy, attached with buttercream.

Tiara is purchased (because birthday girl wanted to wear as opposed to eat the tiara) but could be recreated out of fondant or gumpaste and hard candy jewels.

Party cake serves 40 (6" tier, 8" tier). Similar size wedding cake serves 50.

Pirate Princess Cake for Sweet Sixteen


Cake for sweet sixteen party where the theme was Pirate Princess. Black, white and pink reigned supreme. Cake is whimsical topsy-turvy cake.
Top tier is marbled chocolate and white cake with chocolate buttercream filling and vanilla butter cream under fondant. Middle tier is white cake with vanilla buttercream filling and icing. Bottom tier is chocolate cake with chocolate butter cream filling and icing.

All three tiers are covered in vanilla marshmallow fondant with fondant decor including hand cut skulls and crossbones, flowers, stripes, dots, rope, etc. Borders are fondant as well. Bows on skulls are royal icing as is the anchor. Flowers are wafer paper and fondant/gumpaste. There are some accents with luster dust.



There were also twenty-four marbled cupcakes with buttercream icing and royal icing anchors and bows.

Also provided were giant lollipops decorated to match the theme with party guests names as well. Decorations are in royal icing.




Additional lollipops (orange one for her brother--that's why it's less girly).

Cake would provide servings as follows:
top tier--16 servings
middle tier--20-24 servings
bottom tier--36 servings
cupcakes--24 servings

Cakes are approximately six inches tall but their diameters vary as they are whimsical so they are wider at top of tier than at the bottom of the tier. So the number of servings may vary.
