Musically Themed Cake

Congrats to Matthew and the whole Lineberger family on completion of your senior recital!  I was honored to make four cakes for the reception following the recital, and this cake was the centerpiece of the cakes.  It is a 9"x13" underneath an 8" round cake.  It is a yellow cake with vanilla buttercream and fondant piano keys.

This cake is made from yellow and chocolate cake, buttercream icing, and has fondant accents.  It sits atop a base covered in fondant and accented with ribbon.

Lila's First Birthday

Happy Birthday to Lila, the cutest baby in my neighborhood!  I was honored that our friends (and her parents) asked me to make her cake.  I made a six inch round cake for Lila, and a sheet cake for everyone else.  Both cakes were almond butter cakes with buttercream icing, and they were delicious!

A Graduation Cake

Congrats to grads everywhere!  This cake was made for a graduate from the divinity school at Gardner-Webb University, who graduated today.  It is a two tiered square cake, consisting of red velvet cake and white chocolate cake, iced with vanilla buttercream with fondant making the divinity school symbol. 

 

Sheet Cake

This post is dedicated to Beth, a former coworker who is moving to a different state and a new career.  Congrats!  I had the honor of making her cake for the going away party.  It is a yellow cake, and you can see it's frosted with chocolate buttercream and decorated with buttercream borders, writing, and flowers. 

Three Tier Offset Square Wedding Cake

Below is a wedding cake I made this past weekend for a great couple.  Congrats, Kristen!  Kristen wanted a square, three tier cake with black and red ribbons, swiss dots, and offset or twisted tiers.  Here's how it came out:

A close-up.  The ribbon and topper are not edible, but everything else is.

The cake table, putting the cake in perspective.  The tiers measure 6, 9, and 12 inches square. 








The top tier is a white vanilla cake, the middle is chocolate, and the bottom is red velvet.  All three layers are decorated in buttercream icing.

Black and White Wedding Cake

Again, congrats to newlyweds Dana and Tyger Elton!  Here is their wedding cake, a four tier creation in white chocolate and red velvet.  The outside is entirely buttercream with a ribbon around the base of each tier.
