Cake for Nancy!

Same order- a 10" chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream icing. I gave her a piece of Aaron's lemon cake to maybe change her mind... :) I decided to decorate it more elaborately than usual, with all this time on my hands...

Happy Birthday Aaron!

This was a delicious vanilla-lemon cake I made for Aaron's birthday! In the center, there's a tart lemon curd filling, the frosting is a light, fluffy lemon butter cream (soooooo good, and I don't even like lemon)all intersected by a vanilla cake. It's finished and decorated elegantly with the French "sotas" (French lace) technique.

What dry spell?

Here's a cake I created for myself and my wonderful birthday which falls on Halloween. My intentions were to create flowers in a Halloween palate (yes, those are green roses), but as fondant tends to mess with colors, especially after drying, they didn't quite come out the way I saw in my head. Nevertheless, I think the whole thing turned out spectacular, and personally, I'd rather shellac it and put in on the shelf than eat it... but no one else feels that way :) So- to get to the specs on the cake, it's a chocolate cake with a chocolate filling, iced in smooth, marvelous buttercream with chocolate accents.
