Romantic Ruffled Cake with Sugar Peony

Happy Valentine's Day!  In the spirit of love, I wanted to post this cake that I absolutely LOVE!  Im obsessed with the pale blush tones.  This feminine 2-tier cake was for a 60th birthday celebration, but the design would also work for a bridal shower, wedding, baby shower, really any occasion. The cake was wrapped with strips of gently ruffled fondant in varying shades of white, ivory and blush pink. A sugar peony was wired and hand-painted with petal dust, then attached to the front of the cake.

Plumeria Wedding Cutting Cake

With cupcakes still all the rage for weddings, brides are looking for a small personal cake for the traditional cutting of the wedding cake. This cake is (obviously) one of my favorites since it featured my favorite plumeria flowers. I created the flowers by wiring each gumpaste petal individually and twisting them together. Petal dust was applied in the centers and the flowers were placed on a small fondant cake. Perfectly sweet!  Visit our website at www.plumeriacakes.com for more wedding designs.

The cupcakes were topped with candy pearls and tiny fondant cutouts in the wedding colors of sage green and plum.

Wedding "Cupcake Cantina"

This fun-loving couple chose to serve a variety of mini cupcakes for their wedding reception at Franciscan Gardens in San Juan Capistrano.  For their special fiesta, they chose mini cupcakes in 10 flavors:  Chocolate chocolate chip, vanilla, red velvet, maple bacon, margarita, carrot, moscato, mud pie, pumpkin pecan, and salted caramel.  All the sweet treats were displayed on our antique style cake stands in bronze, gold and Tiffany blue. For the bride and groom, I made a simple 6" round cake for cutting, topped with lifelike sugar succulents.  Que delicioso!
