50 years of marriage is commonly referred to as a Golden Anniversary. This weekend we had a chance to create a classic white and gold cake for a couple celebrating their 50th at the Lotos Club in NYC. One of the tiers was a banana cake with peanut butter buttercream...how delicious!
Metallic, Metallic and More Metallic!
Make a glitzy statement on your cake with metallic monogram toppers. Ever wondered how different metallic mediums worked and how to use them? Well, in my Craftsy class I show you how to use metallic foil, dust and spray so if you're curious sign up and create your own beautiful toppers. As a plus, I show you how to create six different textures in your toppers that pair perfectly with metallics using freehand techniques, stamps, stencils and various every day items.
