I love Cakes!

My son 1st birthday cake

 

I am an avid fan of cakes, wedding cakes, birthday cakes to any form of cakes that captures the imagination. For my son’s birthday, we had three cakes, thanks to our dear friend, who is a fantastic baker, the flavors were out of this world and the design, yes! She outdid herself. The center piece was an octopus sailor in blue. The reason for the smudges on the side is because it was a hot summer afternoon in a restaurant with minimal air conditioning.

I found this sailor octopus cake design on www.pinkcakebox.com, Anne Heap is the owner, very talented indeed. Check out some of her designs.

The wedding dress cake

Anne created this The “Bloom of the Ball” which was a nature inspired party dress adorned with sugar roses, vines, and leaves hanging on a dress form. The cake was a sour cream orange zest cake filled with pistachio and white chocolate buttercream. It won a Show Stopper Award!
