Wow! Blogging world, it's been a LONG time!!! Life has been a whirlwind lately. Sorry about my absence, but I'm officially back with a fun bridal shower cake to share.
One of my dear sweet babysitters is all grown up and getting married May 22 (pics of her wedding cake coming soon). Her bridal shower was so much fun and decorated in a pink, white and black zebra theme. This was my first
experience using fondant and also my first tiered-cake. I was so excited that it turned out okay.The top two tiers (6 and 8 inch squares) were yellow cake with vanilla mousse and raspberry filling and the bottom tier (10 inch square) was chocolate cake with chocolate mousse filling. I covered each tier with vanilla buttercream icing and then topped them with a layer of homemade marshmallow fondant.
Decorating details included pink fondant ribbon stripes and polka-dots, a black chocolate buttercream dots border and black and sheer zebra ribbon. The cake was topped off with an engagement photo of the happy couple in a
clear glass frame detailed with rhinestones.I definitely learned some good fondant tips through trial and error, and am looking forward to doing their four-tiered wedding cake in just a few short weeks!
I'm so excited for this sweet couple and wish them all the best as they start their new life together! Congratulations Whitney and RJ!!!
