Victorian Elegance Wedding Cake
15 May 2012 Leave a Comment
Joy and Jerry got married in the garden gazebo of a beautiful Victorian house in downtown Clayton – The Wagner house. To match that beautiful setting and to be centerpiece of the foyer, we designed this gorgeous cake. We placed it on the columns and included the gazebo to mirror the setting. This was a 3 tier cake with pound cake with cream cheese and strawberries on the bottom 2 tiers and Red Velvet with White Chocolate Cream Cheese on the top tier and the top of the gazebo. These pictures were before the florist placed the flower arrangement in the bottom section.
Congratulations Joy and Jerry!

A little bling goes a long way on a wedding cake. This cake was covered in large sugar crystal to go with the black and white and crystal theme. It was very elegant looking and absolutely delicious! Red velvet with coconut cream cheese filling and Pound cake with strawberry filling. Cream Cheese icing and sugar crystals covering entire cake. Topper provided by bride. From the bride, “Thank you so much for the wonderful cake. I got so much good feedback on it. It looked beautiful.”

My daughter Rebekah turned 4 this weekend and when your mom makes custom cakes you can get anything you want! And Rebekah wanted a LOT! She started with “Sid the Science Kid” then went to “Little Bill” and “Pippi Longstocking.” She finally settled on “Strawberry Shortcake” and the planning began. I looked at lots of ideas on my favorite cake decorating sites and finally decided on this fun design. I used my fabulous scratch made strawberry cake recipe and couldn’t resist adding a little chocolate too! It was filled with chocolate buttercream and fresh strawberries and covered with cream cheese icing and fondant. It was delicious!
We had the party at a local park with lots of friends. Everyone loved the cake and Rebekah thought it was the best and that was the only opinion I really cared about!
When you are ready for your next celebration, let me help you make a special cake to show your love to your special little one!

Very fun Charlie Brown cake for Halloween. The cake is a Chocolate/Pumpkin swirl with buttercream icing. The little characters were all made from fondant. Wouldn’t this be great with caricatures of your family around the side for Thanksgiving?

I love key lime pie and had seen several people in the cake world talk about a key lime cake. I had to try it. I found a wonderful recipe and made it over the Labor Day weekend. Oh, wow! So good! We tried it first with just a lime glaze icing then with a fluffy buttercream (also a new recipe) that isn’t real sweet but also had the lime in it. YUMMMMMMM!!!!
This is also a new decorating technique called the petal. I really like the modern symmetry of this. How pretty this would be with some gorgeous flowers. My mind is racing with ideas. Let’s do a cake like this for you – in key lime, of course!
