uh uh uh happy birfday!

i decided i wanted to make cute mini birthday cakes for my dearest pops and darlin sister brailee for their birthday that was yesterday, july 17! : ) they are both great and i love them oh so much!!! my pops loves golf so i decided that was going to be his theme. and brailee loves glitter...soooo hers was going to be sparkly and pretty! for these little cuties i made lemon cake with lemon glaze in between each layer, a lemon kissed buttercream around the cakes, then covered them in fondant.





here are some pictures from my mini adventure! : )

after the piping was done


wala!...i finally got to use my silver leafing : )





we ate little slices off of the top layer first



perfect little bites.

it's great to be.....CAKE!....uh and 8.

So, I made a baptism cake for my two cousins, hunter and jackson. : ) It was super fun and this time instead of doing a fun cake i attempted to do a more fancy cake. All in all I like how it turned out. I was going to do the silver leafing on it too but ran out of time! : ( Anyway, also this time everything was homemade...it was buttercake with buttercream in between each layer, covered in almond and vanilla flavored fondant, and decorated with royal icing. It took probably around 24 hours but was super fun to make!

cutting the cake layers straight is really hard...

put frosting in between each layer : P

then covered the whole thing in frosting

then kneaded and rolled out the fondant

and covered the cake with it...then i piped a strand of pearls around the edge

and piped designs and hunter and jackson's initials

i painted the top section with white pearl dust

and the bottom section with blue pearl dust

then painted the piping with silver pearl dust and some with white

WALAH!!!
