50 years

This cake design was taken from the web and brought to my by the client.  I do not know the name of the baker who the created the original.

This cake was to serve 60 guest and consist of an 11" French Vanilla cake with Strawberry Compote and a 7" Chocolate cake with Bailey Irish Cream filling. 

The bow and 50th medallion was created the day before the delivery.  They was made of fondant and brushed with gold luster dust.  Gold dragees were placed at each point of the diamond pattern etched in the bottom tier.  The message was cut from fondant using FFM letters.

Hydrangea Ruffles and Fondant Ruffles

Have I said....I love sugar flowers?   Well I do!!!!

This cake was for a first time bride who was using hydrangea flowers and the blue/purple color theme for her wedding.  

This is her shower cake.

The finished hydrangea is one of my favorites.

The cake design consists of two tiers, 10" and a 6" both Almond cake with Raspberry Compote filling.

It was covered in delphinium blue fondant and features imprinted lace on the top tier and ruffles on the bottom tier (which were dry brushed with a plum color).

Ladies Golf

I have done this event several times over the years.  A Ladies Country Club golf outing.  

Here I am starting with a stick of spaghetti and I dip it in sugar glue.  I attach a small ball of gumpaste and roll it down the spaghetti to create the handle of the club.

It is then painted black (you can use black gumpaste if you like and forgo the paint)  I then paint the sliver to the shaft of the club.

I rest them on a paper towel to dry while I cut little rectangles of gumpaste to create the head of the club.

This is a simple verison that will fit on the 8" cakes, that adds so much to the final design.

The event planner puts on cake per table, each a different flavor.  The ladies have dinner and then cut the cake for dessert.  They also travel with their fork to other tables taking samples.

This concept also works well for weddings, the traveling fork is a great way for new families to get to know one another.
