50th Wedding Anniversary Cake

This cake was made for a couple who eloped 50 years ago and never got to have their own wedding cake. With that in mind, I tried to make it pretty elaborate, with a lot of hand piping. The cake is golden vanilla with vanilla creme filling and buttercream frosting. The gold balls are made of marshmallow fondant rolled in gold pearl dust (edible). Was a lot of work but worth it to make a cake that helped make their event a little more special.

Last Minute Anniversary Cake

So I was shopping at Target (or Tar-zhay if you want to sound exotically silly ha ha), looking for who knows what (it WAS several days ago!) when I ran into my dear friend Val who mentioned they were throwing a last minute party for Tony and Steph's anniversary (Tony knew, Steph didn't) and could I come? "Would love too", I said! "What can I bring? Do you have a cake? No? I'll bring one!" SOMETIMES I wonder what I am thinking, ha ha! This was the same day I made the ladybug cake (see previous post) and after delivering that cake, I literally had less than 2 hours to bake, decorate and arrive at the party. But, hey, not too shabby, right?!! I thought it was kind of quaint and cute. :o) It's a butter pecan cake with vanilla creme filling and buttercream frosting. The leaves and flowers (look familiar? ladybug cake? ;o) ) and the black outline of the heart are marshmallow fondant.The party was fun, a little karaoke, a lot of good food, and some great friends! Even a Christmas tree (Tony proposed Christmas Eve twenty-something years ago) to add to the ambiance! Yay for fun parties!!

WIne Bottle Golden Anniversary Cake

This is an 11x15 two layer french vanilla cake with vanilla creme filling and chocolate buttercream frosting. The wine bottle is rice krispy treat covered with buttercream and marshmallow fondant. The grapes and tag are also marshmallow fondant. The packing "shavings" are grated candy bark.The wine label and bottle top are brushed with gold lustre powder.

57 Chevy Anniversary Cake

This cake is much bigger than it looks! It's actually TWO 11 x 15" triple layer cakes, side by side. Half is french vanilla with vanilla creme filling and half is chocolate fudge with chocolate mousse filling. The cake is covered in buttercream frosting. The car (a labor of love, as it took several hours to complete) is constructed of rice krispy treat and covered in marshmallow fondant. It does have a cardboard support underneath and the windshield is made of plastic from a transfer sheet, bordered with mm fondant, but everything else is 100% edible. The trees are rice krispy treat covered in buttercream frosting. This cake would feed upwards of 100 people.

Anniversary Cake

This is a french vanilla layered cake with vanilla creme filling and buttercream frosting. The customer was adding a wedding couple figure to the cake, which I didn't get to see, so the last picture here is one where I photo-shopped in a topper to see how it would look. This customer was thrilled with her cake, even took the time to call me later with compliments galore. That made my day!
