Maple Leaves
Maple leaves are some of the prettiest fall leaves in my opinion, and they were my inspiration for this cake made to celebrate the retirement and birthday of a friend's husband. The bottom tier of this cake is chocolate and the top is vanilla. The icing is buttercream.
Tiara Cake
This cake was for a very special girl's birthday. She wanted a cake with a tiara theme and this is what I came up with. I made the jewels out of fondant. The tiara itself, I bought. I considered making one out of gum paste, but realized that for a preschool age girl, the coolness of that would be lost compared to a cheap plastic one she could wear. According to her mom, I guessed right on that one! :-) The cake itself is chocolate with buttercream frosting.
