Hunting Birthday Cake

"Brush embroidery" isn't just for flowers anymore!

North Florida Fair 2014, Tiered Cake Category

Started with buttercream brush embroidery on the bottom layer, a "rustic" iced second layer with fondant "burlap" wrap

Topped with a buttercream swirl-rose dome.

1st place in the Tiered Category!

After being on display for a week- the cake was given to the chickens at my house.

Hen-approved cake.

Autumn Leaves Wedding Cake

Beautiful Rustic Wedding cake for a Fall ceremony.

Set of 2 cakes (Groom's Cake post will be separate)

Buttercream brush embroidery "lace", rolled "burlap" roses (fondant), and fondant leaves.

Fondant "burlap" topper

I love how this turned out.

Lingerie Shower Cake

A cake requested for a lingerie shower
(I only took pictures before her belly button was added, oops)

Got to practice some techniques, brush embroidery for the flowers, and cornelli lace for the rest.

Simple Can Be Elegant

Got an order for a plain cheesecake for 2, but I had a new decorating technique I wanted to try out...

Called "brush embroidery," this style starts with a piped line of icing, then gets feathered out with a clean dry paint brush. Sugar pearls add a little pop.

Simple technique, beautiful results.
Looks good enough to eat!
