A Labour of Love

Three hours of royal icing piping all over this four-tier cake resulted in a beautiful white wedding cake topped with hydrangeas. It's a little hard to see but the detail is kind of an Indian lace pattern. Very pretty and worth every minute spent on it.

The top and bottom tiers were red velvet with cream cheese icing and the next up from the bottom is a white chocolate cake with white chocolate buttercream. Second from the top was dark chocolate with chocolate buttercream. All delicious!

Tennis Ball Green

These brightly colored confections were for a charity tennis tournament. Devil's food cupcakes topped with chocolate buttercream and "tennis ball" fondant with neon green pistachio macarons.

Cinnamon Buns

This "cake" was for someone who didn't want the traditional cake and wanted cinnamon buns instead. The task was a bit daunting at first but I made it work by making the cinnamon buns with a brioche dough and rolling into logs and instead of cutting them for the traditional cinnamon bun look, baked them in molds. I left one section unfrosted for people who didn't like frosting and decorated it with the birthday boy's favorite hobbies and interests which included a couple mini cinnamon buns made of fondant just for kicks.
