Birthday Cakes

During the month of November I had two orders for birthday cakes:

This first one was for a surprise 50th birthday party. The customer requested a zebra-style cake with a pink bow on top. The cake was chocolate with a peanut butter filling and chocolate buttercream icing. They were thrilled with both the look of the cake and how it tasted!

(Again, bad lighting and excuse the wax paper in the bow - that’s to hold them open and in place while the fondant dries and until I deliver.)

This next cake was for my cousin’s 40th birthday party. His party invitations were blue and silver with what looked like transparent bubbles, so I tried to stay with that theme and this is where it led me. The bottom cake was a yellow cake with raspberry filling and vanilla buttercream; the top cake was chocolate with peanut butter filling and chocolate buttercream. I’m happy to report that everyone at the party raved about the cake!

  12. Did you just learn the cake decorating on your own? You said buttercream but they both look like fondant - is it buttercream underneath or don’t I know what I am talking about. I good looking cake is one thing I can’t do.

  15. What great looking cakes! And choc cake with PB filling sounds like the type of cake where once you get a taste you keep eating until the entire cake is gone!
