weekend cakes...

it's been a long time since i've had 1 of these posts, huh? well, it's been a long time since i've had such a busy weekend with cakes! thankfully, i've only booked 1 more order between now & our beach vacay in July (oh & Jaden's 9th birthday cake)...the summer months just rn't ones i wanna spend inside working on cakes ;0)

anyway, i had a wedding cake & a big birthday cake 2 do this weekend...

actually, the wedding cake was really a 40th anniversary cake...but it was 4 a couple that eloped & never had a real wedding reception...so they decided 2 renew their vows 4 their 40th anniversary...& as a gift 2 their parents, their 2 daughters threw them a big reception too! (btw, all u b'way high graduates - this was 4 Angel & Venus' parents)

4 tiers of alternating carrot & banana cake...all iced in my homemade cream cheese icing...i made a fondant "ribbon" border (wish my camera picked up the shimmer)...& i used white dragees in the criss-cross of the diamond embossing that i did on the icing (click on the images 2 see closer)...the gorgeous flowers r real

then, i had a Wizard of Oz cake 2 make 4 a special 3 year old...

Maggie loves The Wizard of Oz - but especially the witches!
so i had 2 make sure & include both on there - well, sort of ;0)

it was 3 tiers of yellow cake, all iced in my butter cream icing

then, i made scenes from the movie using homemade gumpaste & fondant (everything u see is 100% edible!)

i love these kind of cakes...they take a VERY long time 2 create

but they're so much fun!

Maggie's parents & grandma were thrilled when i dropped the cake off...i hope she enjoyed it even more than they did! ;0)

thx 4 taking a look!
