How's This for Thank You?

My husband's boss requested a Cake Mama cake for one of her employees who was moving on in their organization.  She worked with Michelle for many years and wanted a way to say "thank you" for all of her hard work.  What better way than to say it with cake?!  I was happy to oblige. 

This cake is 1/2 chocolate, 1/2 yellow.  The chocolate side is filled with chocolate fudge, buttercream and Oreo crumbles.  The yellow side is filled with vanilla buttercream.  The top of the cake is covered with vanilla buttercream and fondant/gum paste letters and flowers.  

I think it's a very colorful way to say "thank you."   Don't you?

Garden Delight!

Mari requested a Garden Party - themed cake for her daughter, Ali's, 1st birthday party. It's a good thing that Mari reserved me about 4 months in advance because it took almost that long to plan and execute this cake! But this was an EXCITING one to make. It put to use ALL of the skills that I teach in my cake decorating classes; buttercream, royal icing, fondant AND gum paste!

The flowers alone took about 5 hours to complete. But I am SO happy with the result. I love this cake.
