Strawberry Fields forever


A second wedding is an opportunity for a fresh start.  
This couple choose a design from the internet.
Several weeks in advance I prepared all the embellishments necessary 


The coloring of the blue and green leafs was accomplished by first cutting and veining the leaf in a pale color.  Then using a deeper petal dust, just pulling the color from the edge to the center with a fine paint brush.  The center is never colored in.


Cherries and Strawberries along with random blossoms are pictured above.


The close up.


This finished cake consists of three tiers.  

The bottom tier is a 12" Chocolate hazelnut with hazelnut mousse.  This tier is 5" high.  The middle tier is a 9" Key Lime with Key Lime Mousse.  This tier is 3" high and the top tier is a 7" French Vanilla Bean with Vanilla Custard.  The top tier is also 5" high.  The top flower is a fantasy flower  dusted in the cake colors with ivy. 

Berry Season


The spring and summer is a time to stock the freezer with the seasonal berries.   
My husband, father and friends assist me in this task.  

Cake fillings and pies abound!!!
