Naked Wedding Cake

We got hitched. Naturally I couldn't let anyone else make our desserts. I had to be the one to make them. I made our wedding cake along with many other desserts that will be soon to come on the blog. The wedding cake was a lemon cake with raspberry compote per my loving husbands request. Normally the cake is made with a white chocolate ganache as frosting. Because of the time of season and the temperature I used a cream cheese frosting and lightly frosted the outside for what is calle a naked cake. It was then topped with fresh flowers that matched my bouquet.

Lavender Wedding Cake

 

Lavender, lavender and more lavender. My sister-in-law couldn't get enough lavender for their wedding. She wanted a simple cake with no fondant (thank goodness). I enjoy not having to use it once and a while. This cake was my classic vanilla almond cake with a cream cheese frosting, topped with fresh lavender. I love using fresh flowers when I can 


8th Birthday

 In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, when you turn 8 you are baptized. In April of 2017 my sweet daughter was able to be baptized and I was lucky enough to get time to make her a cake. We chose this layered ruffle look with handmade sugar roses and the CTR design on the top (CTR stands for "Choose the Right"). She isn't a super girly girl and loves the color green. The cake was vanilla flavored with a strawberry filling. Her favorite!
