Mardi Gras Cake








Mardi Gras cake for a co-worker's 21st birthday party. I'm disappointed with the pictures a little, because the main colors of this cake were purple and turquoise - not blue!! Bottom four pics were taken by the birthday girl's "photographer" (I think it was her aunt) and used with her permission. Top tier: strawberry daiquiri with rum butter cream filling; Middle tier: pink champagne with strawberry champagne butter cream filling; Bottom tier: white chocolate raspberry with whipped white chocolate ganache filling. Covered in fondant with fondant accents.

Backpacking Llama Cake



The Backpacking Llama Cake made for my sister-in-law's birthday. There's a story with the llama wearing a backpack on I-80, but I won't go into that. White chocolate raspberry with raspberry mousse filling and raspberry butter cream icing. Llama was a frozen butter cream transfer.

Boarders were strawberry whoppers. The last six pictures are mine, the rest were taken by my friend and used with her permission.
