First Birthday





Somebody turned 1! And we had a party, although the birthday boy was sick so he wouldn't delight us with any exciting cake chomping and smashing. Also, the cake was pretty but the texture and flavor didn't hit the mark. It was a yellow cake recipe that I substituted kamut flour in, and I didn't have butter so I used a recipe calling for coconut oil in the frosting. Maybe I just haven't found the right recipes. Kamut works so well in chocolate cake that I thought it might have a chance in a yellow cake, but no such luck. It was edible, but just barely. Nonetheless, we had a good time and the kids really liked the streamers.

Shaunae's Wedding Cake & Gwen's



My mom and I did this wedding cake for Shaunae. Cookies on the outside. Fresh, chocolate dipped fruits on top. Deep, rich, shimmering colors. Pantone 876 (copper). I used the same trays and a few more like them for Gwen's wedding cake. I only have some detail photos from Gwen's cake at this time. Dark chocolate cake, rich ganache frosting, and shimmering metal lustre-dusted decoration. A shimmering version of Pantones 876, 8745 and 4975. First, here are the royal icing decorations before the lustre-dust paint.
