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.

Cars Lightning McQueen

Finally got the chance to make a Lightning McQueen cake. Definitely a tough challenge but I'm quite happy how it turned out.  At first I didn't quite know how and where to start carving the cake. After a lot of glances at the toy of my son I did finally got in the groove of carving it. :)

Cake's a white vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream.

Matching cupcakes were chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream. Cake topper was simple design but a tedious work. Happy how these turned out too.

Another want to do cake checked off my list! :)
