Quilting and Butterflies

I was honored to make this cake for my sweet grandmother's 85th birthday. I can't even tell you how much I love this woman and how badly I wanted to make something that would be a lovely tribute to the life she has led. She loves butterflies and pastels. She also loves to quilt. And she has made a quilt for each child and grandchild's wedding. And she has made a quilt for the birth of each baby. I and my 4 girls have been grateful recipients of her labor of love. We also put together a book for her birthday that has pictures of each quilt and it's happy owner. Of course, she cried! She is such an amazing woman and I hope to still have such a twinkle in my eye when I'm 85. 8" chocolate fudge with vanilla buttercream and fondant, 6" lemon with raspberry filling, vanilla buttercream, and fondant.

Black Pearl Leopard Print

My niece and my daughter; two peas in a pod! It makes sense, since their birthdays are only 3 weeks apart. My niece wanted a cake similar to my daughter's, but different. So this is what we came up with. I love the light pink and black ruffles together! Girly cakes are so much fun! This is a 6" and 8" tiered cake. Confetti cake with vanilla buttercream and fondant.

High Heel Cheetah Print

This is my new favorite cake I've ever done! This was for my 2nd daughter's birthday. I've been dying to try out a few new techniques I've seen out there. So I coerced her into this cake. Honestly, she is my most girly girl, so once I said pink and high heels and ruffles and cheetah print, she was giddy! The bottom tier is 8" chocolate fudge with vanilla buttercream and ombre fondant ruffles. The top tier is 6" yellow cake with chocolate pudding filling, vanilla buttercream, and hand painted cheetah print fondant. The high heel shoe is sugar paste.
