I was looking at the photos of cakes I made this year and I have to say this is one of my favorites. I love that it's a trio of cakes on pedestals and that they are decorated with blue and yellow gumpaste freesias -- simple yet so sweet and pretty!
Once in a while, I get special requests from brides and for this one, it was "funfetti" cake!

I really think I have the nicest clients. No bridezillas here! It's always exciting to hear their wedding plans. And sometimes I even get to hear the story of how they met or how he proposed! Everytime I make a cake, I always think of the couple it's for. Fayehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09070358048513204339noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5933321198491654161.post-64034949183591512832010-05-12T01:11:00.002-04:002010-05-12T01:18:59.804-04:003-tier Square Cake With A Sugar RoseSome days all I think about is cake. I'll open a magazine, see a dress and think of how one detail can be so pretty on a cake. It could be an invitation, a flower arrangement, jewelry, or simply a pretty color palette that will strike an inspiration. Or sometimes, I just want to try something new.
