Quinceanera

This is the biggest cake I have made in a long time. It was so stressful, and it didn't help that someone broke the power lines down the road with a tree. I was without power for four hours and every minutes counted on this cake. The bottom tier is vanilla with strawberry filling. It has fiver layers of cake. The middle tier was red velvet and had six layers of cake. The top tier was marble with chocolate mousse. It was a fun cake to make but so stressful.

Starry Starry Night

 This cake was so much fun to make. I am far from being a master like Van Gogh, but it was fun to recreate one of my favorite paintings on a cake. 

The cake itself is vanilla bean cake with strawberry mousse filling and vanilla bean buttercream. 

The technique used was small strokes with paint palette knives.

Frozen Birthday Cake

Just like every child in the World right now, my daughter loves Frozen. So what better type of cake to do then a frozen cake. 

This cake was a white almond cake with strawberry danish dessert and fresh strawberries for the filling. Each level has four layers to make it extra tall. 

The figurines are the storybook collection found at Toys R Us. I didn't want to even try to attempt to make them out of gum paste. Plus I no longer live close to a store that would carry those items. The closest joanns and micheals is an hour away. 

The frosting is Vanilla buttercream with a white chocolate ganache drizzled over top. 

The Castle, Trees and the Snowflakes are made out of white chocolate.
