Grad Cake

This cake was lots of fun to do...as they all are!  When asked to do this cake, I couldn't say no!  How cool is it that this family has the same last name as my nickname (Jello)?! 
Nope, couldn't say no! :)
This was a red velvet cake, with vanilla buttercream icing.  The orange gumpaste flowers and silver 'beading' were made to match the grad dress.

Simple Blue

This was a fun, quick cake to make.  A co-worker of my aunt's ordered it for me for her daughter's bridal shower.  Her wedding colours are royal blue/white/silver.  From what I have heard, they enjoyed the cake! 
Double layer white cake with buttercream filling and icing.

A First-Timer

I was so excited about making this wedding cake ever since the happy couple asked me to do it!  Besides the awesome couple I made it for (they are really good friends of mine here in Regina), this cake was a first-timer for me.  4 levels of cake, a fun buttercream icing, plus 3 layers of flowers!  It's the biggest cake I've ever made!  I think it turned out great, and everyone loved it - I got tons of comments after we had the chance to devour it. 
I transported it in 2 layers, and I had another really good friend help me with that. 
Here are the flavours:
Top - Marble with peanut butter filling
Second - Lemon with lemon curd filling
Third - Chocolate with chocolate mousse filling
Bottom - White with strawberry filling

Congrats to the happy couple!
