Gold Silver Birthday Cake


 A friend requested to make a gold/silver theme birthday cake for her mother's birthday.  And to be honest I had a hard time making up the design of the cake. I wanted it to be elegant but not looking like a wedding cake.








I made a rose out of gumpaste and painted it with gold highlighter dust. Same with the number.








The bottom tier I decorated with petals that were dusted with silver petal dust. Picture doesn't show the shimmer of the bottom tier.









All in all I am pleased with how this cake turned out. Elegant and simple.




Birthday Cupcakes


Cupcakes galore.. Made these for six birthday celebrants last January. Cupcakes were chocolate with mocha swiss meringue buttercream.  Toppers were fondant with some candy pearls.
