Happy Birthday Marty!!!

To celebrate Marty's birthday, I baked a Butter Pecan Cake filled with Caramel Buttercream, topped with Coconut Pecan Frosting. The cake is sided with vanilla and chocolate filled wafers, tied with a satiny gold bow! He also got cupcakes with the extra batter! (ps...I wouldn't let him eat it until I took the pictures of it!)

Sugar Paste Bouquet & Royal Icing Basket

Believe it or not, the royal icing "wicker basket" was more time consuming than the creation and accumulation of flowers. I have set a personal goal to create a different set of flowers each week - it keeps the skill level up and amasses an amazing ready made array of flowers to use when the next order comes along. I wish I'd started this along time ago! A la prochaine!

Light As A Feather, Sweet As A Kiss...

This cake is a dessert I made for a recent dinner party for new friends. The cake base is genoise (French sponge cake), topped with white chocolate mousse (Guittard) and topped with peach slices secured in an orange flavored gelatine.

Poppies, Poppies, Everywhere!!!

I had the urge to create some sugar paste poppies, buds and bracts. After creating a tray full of these colorful flowers, I was compelled to put them on a traditional wedding cake. This reminds me of a fun, outdoor summer wedding.
