Wedding Cake Pics-Part 1

After many hours of research, here is what I've found to be The Top 4 Wedding Cake Trends:
1. Monograms- Metal Monogram Toppers,or on the front of the cake.
2. Scroll Patterns- The "S" or "C", and many more,scrolls all over,or just a few..its up to you!
3. Gerbera Daisies- A colorful ,fun ,cost effective choice.
4. Ribbon Borders- Another way to accessorize your cake with your color theme.Ribbon gives a clean look and finish to the cake. Also, another cost effective choice.

So I've started practicing these trends on a dummy cake. Armed with a handful of ribbons,flowers and the new "trend" knowledge...These are just a few of the ideas I came up with for the first part of this mission. Next...Scrolls and Monograms...!!

The Cake run...


So along with the 3 heart cakes, I also had a bridal shower cake. Hot pink fondant,vanilla icing& a "J" monogram. Last but not least, my very dear friend Kacey's birthday was also in the same week(SUPERBOWL SUNDAY)...so I made this yummy yellow cake with chocolate icing and fondant accents....this week was BUSY, and I liked it!

A Special Valentines


The customer that ordered this cake wanted something a little more in design than what you would see at the grocery store. She wanted it to be heartshaped ,red,hot pink& white. Then saw one of my Georgia cakes and wanted to put a "G" on it. She was sending this cake to Athens- GOOOOO DAWGS! Since then she has ordered two more.

60 & Still Sassy!


My new favorite cake! This was for a dear friend's mom. Her family put an add in the paper and used the "60& still Sassy" line. I carried this line to the cake. The cake is a 6&8inch tier,homemade buttercream icing. The "60" and the yellow,red,orange daisies are homemade marshmallow fondant and have gold dust on them.(for a little sparkle) :) This "sassy" lady deserves it!

Daisies


This cake was for my Granny & her sisters. The flowers are made out of homemade marshmallow fondant(yummy).

Going to the Chapel!


My first wedding cake...with a 48hr notice! I love the scrolls,dots &taupe ribbon. Love it! I am already booked for a 5 tier in May...yay!

Jackson's 2nd Birthday!


Happy 2nd Birthday Jackson! My son loves TRUCKS...so i made this cutie pie dump truck,complete with chocolate wheels and full of M&M's.This was my first try at homemade marshmallow fondant.
