Sweet Rose Cake

I haven't posted for a few months.  I just keep forgetting and I take about 50 million pics of each cake, it's very time consuming going through them all.  I promise I'll get better!  I really love this cake, like really, really love it.  This was actually a birthday cake for my brother's main squeeze, Chelsi.  She turned 21 and he wanted something classy and sweet to celebrate.  The fondant frill roses are so soft and pretty it could even be a small wedding cake.  

Don't mind the horrible background, I didn't have great light in the kitchen and had thrown away my backdrop. P.S. I don't know how to edit so what you see is what you get!

Happy Birthday! XOXO

New York Yankees Hat Cake

I usually try to make fun cakes for my family on their birthdays but for some reason I had never made my brother one.  He finally complained and I felt bad so this year I decided to surprise him.  His favorite baseball team is the NY Yankees.  He always wears a Yankees hat so I figured that was a good place to start.  Happy Birthday Travie!

The lettering was all cut out by hand or piped with buttercream and the accents are fondant.

        

                       Not the cleanest cut I've made but still delicious!  Do you have any idea how much self control it takes not to eat the scraps?  Tons!  I don't have any so I indulged.  The cake is a moist Belgian chocolate cake layered with toasted marshmallow filling and malted Belgian chocolate buttercream.
