Gardener's Hat Cake- Mother's Day- Cake Decorating

I wanted a way to showcase Ranunculas and Peonies in buttercream. I had also received a request for a Ladies Hat Cake, so I decided to combine them in this Gardener's Hat Cake. This design is built on a single 10 inch and sculpted in Butter Cream. 

I love this design for Mother's Day but I think it would be perfect for any Gardener.

Spring Bouquet In a Candy Dish- Buttercream -Cake Decorating

This is a fun and interesting design to make. I love the idea of making a cake in a candy dish. I have so many glass dishes just lying around my house and I never thought of making a cake in them. 

One of our Friends on my face book page "The art of Frosting" shared a similar design with me. She said many Russian Decorators uses this method.

Water Lillie's Cake- Cake Decorating- Video



There is just something ethereal about Water Lilies. They are graceful and delicate and sweet. This design is also very versatile. It could be used for a little girl or a Mother's Day. It would also be very appropriate for a Farewell or Congratulations Cake.

These flowers are piped directly on the cake with 2 different sized Mum tips. The Lilly Pad beneath is piped with a large Rose Tip.

This flower would work well on a cake alone as an accent as well.

Flower Pot Baby Shower Cake- Cake Decorating- Butter Cream

This Vase or Flower Pot Cake was made as a Baby Shower Cake for a Baby Named Poppy. The Challenge was to incorporate Poppies, which are such a strong and bright flower,into a cake for a Baby. I came up with this idea of piping small Poppies on a straw and placing them in a Vase. The entire cake is make with Pastry Pride Whip Topping, even the Poppies, Butter Cream would be the other alternative. To see how I created this design, click here on the video.
