Here are some pictures of an anniversary cake I created for my lovely friend Fran & her husband.  Cheers to 25 years!

As requested, I baked a 2-tier vanilla sponge cake with Boston creme filling and vanilla buttercream.  All of the exterior roses were also crafted out of buttercream.  Mmmmm!

Wine bottle cake

Here are some pictures of a birthday cake I created this past weekend for a lover of wine and fabulous woman turned 42!  Happy birthday Brenda!

Ok, so this cake is pretty straight forward.  For the base I baked two 9 x 13 chocolate fudge cakes - torte, filled and stacked.  Covered the base in chocolate brown fondant and decorated.  For the bottle I made a double batch of original recipe krispie treats and molded to bottle shape.  I then melted chocolate and smoothed it over the entire surface of the bottle.  Once chocolate hardened, I sanded and smoothed the bottle with a Micorplane (thanks Mom) to kind of get rid of some of the bumps.  Covered the bottle in black buttercream fondant, added label, brushed with clear piping gel and decorated.  Yay!
