D+J Cake

This past weekend, I went to Seattle for a friend's wedding.  The city was so quaint, and I especially loved the Queen Anne area. The views were great, market was fun, seafood was tasty, air was clean, but yes there was a lot of rain.  The wedding itself was fun and it was really good to see another one of our friends tie the knot!  This is the cake I made for them to match their green/brown color palette.  The wedding had a very eco-friendly vibe and so did the new Hyatt Olive8.

For the character toppers, I started with basic shapes to make bodies and heads.

I dressed up the bodies first with a halter gown to match the bride's actual dress shape and a snazzy tux for the groom. I then decorated the heads, added hands, and a bouquet of flowers.

I just had to switch up the heads to have a laugh :)

Exchanging vows and saying I do's

Once I got there, I painted her dress shimmery white and added a veil to her head.  Topped them on the cake and voila!

Congrats David and JiHye!

Leaf Cake

This past weekend marked the 6th year of RWC so I got to make a small cake for the celebration.

I blew up the image of their logo which was a leaf and cut out a template as well as a base.  Filled it with raspberry preserves and vanilla buttercream.

Covered it in white fondant, then cut out a green gumpaste outline as well as letters in two different fonts.

Ok all done, ready to go get eaten!

The best part of this whole cake though??  I forgot that I left the fridge setting on HIGH max so the cake would chill faster and that evening....BOOOM there was an explosion in my fridge!  The diet Pepsi's in the back couldn't handle the cold :)  Lets just say I had to clean out every nook and cranny of the fridge that evening.
