I know it isn't too elaborate or anything, but I like to think it is pretty good.
I made this cake for a co-worker. She just got married on December 10th. She decided to have a very small intimate wedding. She had no plans of having a cake at the reception. I, of course, could not let that happen. Every woman needs a cake at he wedding. So, I decided to make her her cake anyway.
With getting married a few weeks before Christmas, she was having a Christmas/Winter themed wedding. With that in mind, I started thinking of winter type things to decorate with. I really wanted to make snowflakes, but was unable to find a snowflake cutter or anything that looked like one on such short noticed. So, I thought stars was the next best things. This was my inspiration. It was from Wilton.com ......
I know, it isn't exactly the same, but that I wasn't trying for that. I just wanted an idea. The inspiration cake is done completely in fondant, where I iced the cake in buttercream and only the stars are made from fondant. I covered the stars in a blue and silver pearl dust. (This was actually very fun to do). It was also my first time working with fondant. After getting over my initial fear of it, I really like working with it and can really see the potential of using it. I hope to get the chance to use it again.
I had real fun making this cake and it was great seeing J's face when she saw it. She was happy and I was glad to bring a little extra happiness to her on her special day.
I know I have bee talking about doing a few different with my blog and haven't done anything. But, I finally have what I want to do, so look for some new fun things after the New Year.
Until next time....... Happy Baking!
