Second reception

A couple had a destination wedding and the grooms family held a second reception for the couple a few months later for those that could not make the trip. ]

These four cakes were to feed 30 guest each. The first cake is a representation of the original wedding cake. It features buttercream with piped filagree and white gumpaste roses.

The basketball is a favorite sport of the groom is carrot pound cake carved (regular cake is far to tender to hold shape) and covered in textured fondant, airbrushed for shading and letters were also fondant.

The basket of fall flowers was for the bride and her sister, it featured buttercream with a fondant ribbon runner through the pattern, all flowers and fall leaves were gumpaste.

Finally the Missouri logo was for the couples college, again this is buttercream and the logo was made in advance to allow the fondant to dry.

Cookie Bouquet

These jerseys represent the girls high school soccer team. It is the senior year for these players and this was ordered for their athletic banquet.

I used a sugar cookie dough cut in a shirt pattern. They are then frosted with a smooth drying frosting. I cut the numbers and shirt trim from fondant and piped on the names.

Congratulations ladies on a great season!

40 Birthday

A lovely woman contacted me about a cake for her daughter's 40 Birthday Surprise party. She asked for it to serve 50 guest and to have a fall theme.

This cake features a 10" square, 7" round and 4"square. The square cakes feature a panel of fondant in a woodgrain to create a box, the round tier has painted grass symbolizing the end of summer.

The flowers were gumpaste tiger lilly, acorns, wheat, mums, cattails and leaves in all stages of fall. The party was a great success and I have gotten a few future orders from the guest for their upcoming events.
