Hayley and Cal--Western Luau

Hayley and Cal wanted a wedding cake to tie into their western luau reception.



With a square base cake and two additional paisley tiers; the flowers include royal icing, navy blue apple blossoms and gold, sugar paste daisies, with white centers. Also there are darling royal icing ladybugs.



The bottom square tier has a brown, fondant ribbon around the bottom. The middle paisley tier has a navy, fondant ribbon around the tier. The top paisley tier has a tan, fondant rope border made into a lasso, and trailing down the cake and coiling on the square tier.




There are also sugar paste leaves included in the "lei" on the top tier.




The cakes are red velvet cake, with cream cheese icing, and are covered in marshmallow fondant.





Hayley is represented by the navy blue, polka dotted flip-flops and Cal by the rustic cowboy boots. Both are edible--the flip-flops from molded white chocolate, the boots from molded sugar paste. There is even a ladybug hiding in one of the boots.













Table decorations include daisies and tulle in matching colors.










They also had a sheet cake, portioned into servings, with an apple blossom on each serving. Some of the servings had a ladybug on them as well. The leaves are buttercream, as is the brown shell border.

Missionary Homecoming

The following cake was done for an Elder Missionary Homecoming. This young man was serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and was returning home after two years. He served in the Iowa, DesMoines Mission.




The top tier is two "shoes" looking worn and such with a missionary tag and tie draped across them. They are iced in chocolate buttercream and covered in black marshmallow fondant, details including laces are made from fondant as well. The missionary tag is made from black fondant, with white buttercream icing. The tie is made from blue and maroon fondant.

The second tier is "scriptures;" a triple combination (Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants [D&C], and Pearl of Great Price) and a Holy Bible. They are separate cakes. They are iced in buttercream and covered in marshmallow fondant. The "pages" are brushed or "gilded" with yellow/gold sparkle dust.

The bottom tier is a 14-inch round iced smooth in buttercream and filled with raspberry filling.

This cake would provide approximately 120 party size servings.
