Wedding Cakes

Since Wedding season for college students is upon us... here are some pictures of wedding cakes I have done. I have some others... but I took them on different cameras and now I can't find the pictures. I'll keep looking. I must admit, I love to look at the pictures, because it's harder to see the imperfections I notice while I'm making it! Although they cause me the most stress, I love to make them and see the finished product at the reception.This cake was difficult to get the look just right. I made it the day after Thanksgiving in someone else's kitchen after a three hour drive. But, it was one of the tastiest cakes! The bottom two layer are white cake with raspberry filling. There is a chocolate rasberry ganache poured over the cakes and the fondant is raspberry flavored. The brown is chocolate fondant that tastes like tootsie rolls.This cake was a team effort. The bride is my new sister-in-law and her sister, Kaylin and I worked on this together. I baked the cakes and frosted them, she did the fancy curliques and we added finishing details together. This one was also a yummy one. The bottom is again, white with raspberry. the middle is Grandma Mary's famous chocolate cake.This cake was actually for the bridal shower for my sister-in-law. The doll's hair is a little crazy, but the cake was fun and pretty quick considering. Its white cake with fondant. The doll's dress is actually made from rice krispies.
