Gerbera Daisy Graduation Cake

This is a High School graduation cake I just finished.  I also made 2 dozen matching cupcakes and 40 cake pops.  It took me over 21 hours to do!!

This cake is red velvet with cream cheese frosting on both tiers.  The graduation cap is made from Rice Krispie Treats.  The top of the hat has a thin piece of cardboard between two pieces of fondant to help it hold it's shape.

The flowers took about 4 hours to make.  I had to make 24 flowers so there were lots of flower cutouts to do. Each flower consisted of 2 large daisy shaped cutouts and 4 1/2 small daisy cutouts.  To make the center of the flower, I cut the small daisy in half and then snipped each petal in half.  Those were then layered around the center.  

The cupcakes and the cake pops are both strawberry cake.  I used a cake pop machine to make the cake pops and then dipped them into melted chocolate.  They were delicious!!

For the stripes, I ended up using royal icing.  I had originally planned on using an edible writing pen, but I didn't like how it was coming out. I also did the same for the zebra cupcakes.

This is what the party table looked like...how fun!!

Lavendar 80th Birthday cake

This was a birthday cake for an 80th birthday celebration.


Both tiers were raspberry cake (super yummy!!) and the buttercream was vanilla (smoothed to look like fondant).  

This was my first ever flower arrangement, but I was very happy with the end result.


The flowers are set into a small, plastic bowl.  After I took this picture, I actually carved a little bit out of the top of the cake so that it was set into the cake a little bit more.  


I also added some ribbon around the cake board.
