A Study in Texture

Last weekend I became a little obsessed with mono-chromatic designs that featured texture. The first cake was a little "old school" for me.... instead of fondant I used buttercream to decorate this cake... piping "roses" in a medium pink. I have to say I love the way it turned out! The inside of the cake was Best Ever Vanilla with alternating vanilla and chocolate buttercream filling.



This next cake was for a Surprise "Red and White" themed birthday party and was the centerpiece of the dessert table. It was covered in red daisies with a single white candle on top. The cake was a gluten-free chocolate cake with white buttercream filling.

Purse cake - complete with lipstick and a pearl bracelet (both made out of gumpaste) to celebrate a 40th Birthday. The cake was Best Ever Vanilla with chocolate buttercream.

"Well, as I predicted, the cake was the hit of the party!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everyone thought it was real!!!!!!!!! My brother walked by it and said, "Where's the cake?" I put it on the dining room table with the gifts and he thought it was a real handbag. ha-ha! So once again thank you for the exceptional job! And...it tasted fabulous! "
