Goodbye winter! Today is officially the last day of winter and to bid it goodbye, here's a huge Winter Wonderland cake that we made for a Sweet 16 party.
After each snowflake was cut out, they were individually piped with royal to add intricacy.
Then each was painted with pearl dust, silver luster dust, disco dust, shimmery sprinkles or clear sprinkles so that no two snowflakes would be the same.
We made over 120 snowflakes for this 10 tier cake
Goodbye Winter, hello Spring!
There are a handful of edible flowers in the world like hibiscus, pansies, gardenias and roses...but hydrangeas are not among them. Hydrangeas are actually considered moderately toxic. The best way to eat any flower in my opinion is a sugar flower, of course with chocolate cake crumbs acting as dirt and an orange fondant clay pot!
This flower pot was a small individual sized cake made for a friend who is an avid gardener. I thought it would be an appropriate way to show appreciation for her hobby while celebrating her birthday.
A couple months ago we made a small Eiffel tower cake for a 16th birthday. This time around we made the same cake...only much larger! This 80th birthday cake barely fit in the trunk of the delivery vehicle as it was almost 4 feet tall and weighed...well, a lot :) This was such a sweet cake to make because three sisters collaborated to get this for their mother's big bash in NYC. When you turn 80, you definately deserve a cake this big!
Here's a look back at the other one. This one was only about 14" tall, but still so cute!
