40th Anniversary Cake

This cake was ordered to celebrate the 40th wedding anniversary of the client's parents.
She brought pictures of their wedding cake, and I recreated the top 2 tiers for her to surprise them with.

Complete with the frilly bottom edge! Left a place for her to add their original topper!

Yellow cake, swiss meringue buttercream, and royal icing roses.

Roses with the Wilton method, but my icing wasn't at exactly the right consistency.

Tiers Without Tears

My first attempt at a tiered cake, for my cousin's 16th birthday.

Chocolate top tier, with Swiss Meringue Buttercream icing.
Yellow cake bottom tier, with Cream Cheese icing.
Marshmallow Fondant flowers.

Loved the "ruffle cake" concept on the top tier, gotta figure out how to finish the top better.
Here we left space for "1" and "6" candles.

Roses are fun to work on. Calla Lilies added to my "can make" list too!

As far as I know the cake didn't sag, I call that success!
Look forward to trying tiers again!
