This was such a fun cake to create. My bride for this cake was one of the most laid back, casual persons I have ever met. So much so that the direction I got for this cake was that she wanted a peacock theme as well as something fun and funky. That was it. She wanted the cake to be a surprise and trusted my design instincts. Yikes! Each tier stood approximately 8" high making the entire cake just shy of 3'.

Eat, Drink and be Married
My bride to be loved the expression "Eat, Drink and be Married" so we figured out a fun, whimsical way to incorporate that with her cake. Because she didnt need a lot of cake servings, the bottom two layers of the cake were created out of fabric and designed to coordinate with the top, edible layers.
Additionally, the father of the bride wanted to do something very special for his daughter and future son-in-law. He surprised the couple at the reception with the Donald Duck cake and Colts helmet, both having sentimental value. Donald was made from rice cereal treats and the Colts Helmet was butter pecan cake with a fudge filling and coffee buttercream. Yum!

Easter Basket
This cake was designed as a table centerpiece for Easter for one of my clients. The basket weave is done out of buttercream with a fondant handle. The easter eggs were made from fonant and hand painted. The basket was also adorned with jelly beans and real chocolate candy and green buttercream grass.
Bloomington Doubletree Wedding Show
In February the Doubletree hotel in Bloominton hosted a bridal show. Working with Sound and Light Creations and Heaven on Earth, this display cake was designed to coordinate with these fantastic vendors decor. Between the square base and three round tiers, this cake is spec'd to serve approximately 230 slices.
