Bridal Shower Cake

This cake is one of my new favorites.  But...maybe not for the reason you might think.

I am loving this color lately.  "Electric Blue".  Sounds scary, but it's not. ;o)

It's bright, but not obnoxious and has a fun, bold, playfulness about it that lends itself well for just about any occasion. 

This is not an original design.  I was given a photo of a cake for a bridal shower with just a few changes.  If anyone knows where this design came from, PLEASE let me know so I may properly credit the designer. 

We adjusted to color scheme a bit, added pearls to the quilting, and changed the topper to a diamond engagement ring to appropriately celebrate the occasion, as well as adding the plaque with the congratulatory expression.

I rarely get the opportunity to use stenciling, though I love the effect.  The big silver bows finished off the look which are becoming a highly requested element these days.  Really loved this one.

I also made coordinating cookie favors.

Thanks for looking.

3D Lightning McQueen Mini Cake

A couple of weeks ago, I made a 3D Lightning McQueen mini cake.  This cake probably served about 8-12.  It was my first 3D car, and I was fairly happy with the result.  Because of the small scale, I omitted some of the detailing, but ensured the obvious McQueen characteristics were present.

Mini cakes are always a challenge.  Scaling down the size of something without losing the shape, proportions and details is not always easy.

Lightning McQueen is 100% cake, hand carved/sculpted and covered in fondant.  Hope the birthday boy loved it.  There were 40 cupcakes with toppers included with this cutting cake, as well as Cars themed coordinating cookie favors.

Thanks for looking!
