Two cakes today

The first is a lemon cake surrounded by white chocolate mousse and covered in a dark chocolate mirror glaze with a white chocolate mousse accent.



The second is an orange cake filled with a raspberry buttercream and covered in an orange buttercream modified petal effect.

Irish Lace Hearts

I love old fashioned Irish lace doilies, and here's one in cake.  The cake was a single layer orange cake flavored with orange juice and orange zest, torted and filled with an orange flavored American buttercream and covered in fondant.



Happy Birthday Yvonne

I've known Suzanne forever, and when she asked for a cake for her grandaughter who was turning two how could I say no.  We decided that nothing but Thomas the train would do so heeeere's Thomas.  Thomas is crafted of rice cereal treats and covered in candy clay and fondant.  The tracks are fondant and the ties are a mixture of chocolate and peanut butter candy clay.  The cake itself was my special orange cake recipe flavored with orange juice and zest and was covered in an American buttercream piped to look like grass.
