I made the below cake for the 31st birthday of a lady whose favorite colors are blue, green and all shades of pink. She had always wanted to have a madhatter birthday cake. The cake was hazelnut sponge cake with chocolate butter cream frosting.
My most recent cake commission was for the surprise birthday party of a Kevin Harvick (Nascar driver) fan. The car on the top was designed to look like Kevin’s car and was vanilla cake. The bottom layer was carrot cake with a cream cheese frosting filling.
My sister’s 27th birthday was this week, so I did what any good sister with baking skills would do and made her a cake. The design was inspired by the fact that she has been collecting all sorts of pig things (stuffed animals, figurines, etc.) since she was young, and by her favorite color: Purple
My most recent commission was for two back-to-back baby showers: a cake for the first and some cupcakes for the second. The cake was designed to match the invitation for the event and was lemon chiffon with raspberry buttercream filling, decorated in fondant. The carriage on the top was made of pastillage, which is similar to fondant, but dries and hardens very fast. The cupcakes were made to match the same color scheme, but were vanilla cake with vanilla butter cream and fondant bows.
