Here are a couple of pictures of the cakes that I spent last week working on. There were pretty simple, but I loved doing them! There is something about the non-fussiness of a buttercream covered cake, that calls my name. I think that as soon as you start involving fondant, your game has to be ON. With a buttercream cake, it’s just you and your piping bag, and I let mine go where it wants to take me.
I needed a refresher on some simple buttercream borders, so I went to YouTube to check some out. I will be posting my own Simple Border Video soon, so make sure you take a minute and subscribe to our YouTube Channel, here.
This was the Root Beer birthday surprise cake for “Weiny”. It is a Root Beer cake base, with a Root Beer Buttercream icing. Mmmm!
This cake was for a lady who’s colleague was leaving and wanted to wish her Good Luck. It is a Vanilla Cake, with Pink Vanilla Buttercream.
This is cake was for my Dad’s hockey team. I made it for them to enjoy after their final game of the season. Word on the street was the “guys” loved it. I love how my dad talks with hockey player speak, as if he is 20. It’s so cute! This cake is a Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Buttercream. Doesn’t get more Classic than that. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, click here.
Like I said, these cakes were all pretty simple, but fun to make. This week coming up we’ve got some more intense creations on the list: Monster Trucks cake for a 6 year old’s birthday, and a Truck replica cake for a client’s brother in law’s 25th birthday. How is that men like the same things st 6 and 25? Ha ha! Should be interesting! These are right up Paul’s alley.
Root beer float sounds like a wonderful cake flavor!
Super cute cakes! 🙂 I’m partial to the pink one myself – it’s just so girly!!!!
