RS Birthday Cake - Temple Night

This was made with a white sour cream almond cake recipe.  White buttercream frosting, and white Satin Ice fondant (my second favorite next to homemade).  The balls and flowers were also made with the fondant.  The bottom layer is 12 inches the top 9 inches.  I used the vines mat to get the indented scroll look.

It's Twilight once again!

The bottom layer is Chocolate cake, chocolate frosting, and chocolate fondant tinted black. THe second layer is white cake, white vanilla buttercream, white fondant.  The apple is rice krispies coverin in red fondant, and all other decorations on the cake is fondant.
The first 2 pictures I took, and the third was send to me from the party!

Yellow Daffodils

Cakes and such...

With every cake I make for someone I try to incorporate a new technique.  Lucky for me many of the requests I get do just that.  They ask for me to step out of my comfort zone and try something new.  This week will be no different.  Since I'm self taught, I saw fondant and immediately jumped at the chance to work with that.  However the cake I'm making this week will be completely buttercream, flowers and all.  I'm excited to make this cake, and as with all my cakes thus far I've got the tips, tricks and you tube videos bookmarked that will help me learn what I need to; to make this cake a success!
