Catherine & Karl's Wedding

Wow, it's been a long time since I've posted!  Sorry y'all!  I'm going to do my best to keep the sweets coming with a bit more frequency :)  I have some cakes to share from the past year; I'll be posting those soon!

Catherine, one of my dearest friends from college, married the love of her life, Karl, yesterday!  The ceremony was held at the gorgeous Pemaquid Point Lighthouse in Pemaquid, ME, followed by an amazing reception at their house.  Great fun was had by all!

I was thrilled to be able to make Cat and Karl's wedding cake!  All three tiers were chocolate cake, filled with chocolate ganache and fresh raspberries.  The cake was enrobed with ivory fondant, and decorated with cascading gum paste hydrangeas.  I had a lot of fun creating this beauty, and particularly enjoyed making the hydrangeas.

Best wishes to Cat and Karl - I know that you'll have a life filled with happiness!

Blue Cherry Blossom Cake

This cherry blossom cake was made for a bridal shower this past weekend. The bottom tier was chocolate cake with chocolate ganache and raspberry fillings, the top tier was lemon cake with lemon curd filling, and all was covered with vanilla buttercream. Decorated with gumpaste flowers and fondant branches.

A weekend of cakes

It's a crazy weekend of cakes! :)

Wedding cake tasting today. Three cakes were sampled - white velvet cupcakes with strawberry buttercream filling and vanilla buttercream icing, white velvet with raspberry cream filling and vanilla buttercream icing, and chocolate cake with chocolate ganache filling, covered with ivory fondant.

Here are a few pictures from this morning ...
