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.

My adorable niece requested this cake and it was really fun to create!

50's Jukebox Birthday Cake

Surprise! I have to say, it was SO MUCH FUN to make this cake for my mom, in secrecy, then drive it over to her work (a 1 hour drive mind you) and completely surprise her with it. :0) I think she about fell off her chair. Never mind that she wouldn't let anyone in her office eat it that day (she wanted my dad to see it first, lol, so they ate it the next day!). It's a chocolate cake, with French vanilla creme filling, buttercream icing and marshmallow fondant accents. She loved it! And I loved surprising her! Oh, the jukebox theme fits my mom perfectly, totally her era and she LOVES her golden oldie music!

Happy Birthday, Mom!
