Summer Wedding in Montana

In the summer of 2006 I got to do my Cousin Cassie's wedding cake up in Montana. It was a beautiful outdoor wedding and this cake fit just perfectly!

My cousin actually designed this cake when it came to the square shape and spiraled stacking. It was my first square cake and I loved it! She left the actual decor up to me only specifying that she wanted something fairly simple.

Here it is in the walk in freezer before getting flowered up :D.


Ta da!!!
(we used left over wedding flowers!)


An up close shot.


Each layer was a different flavor. Chocolate, White, Lemon and Carrot. For this cake I did not do the baking also. Because the wedding was in Montana my cousin ordered the cakes from a little bakery. We picked them up and I did the rest. Ah! so much easier!

Sweet December Wedding

In December of 2001 I did a "cake" for my aunts wedding, as you can see it was actually five cakes :). It's a little difficult to see the designs in these pictures but on two of the big round cakes and the medium size cake I did simple six sided scrolly designs filled with cornelli lace circling the sides, and small snowflake type marks all around them. The third big round just had the little snowflake marks interspersed and the smallest top cake had just the cornelli lace all over it. The tops of all of them were plain with rose petals sprinkled around. The flowers on the smallest top cake were extras from the wedding flowers. (For a description of cornelli lace see the right side column.)
