I had four cakes to make over the weekend!
So much icing....so much cake!
So much fun!
I was asked to make a hockey jersey cake. This was new to me...I had never even seen one before...but there are many different ones 'out there'. I went with this design....
It was for a big hockey fan named Cash who was turning 2.
The request was for a buttercream base with the white accents of rolled fondant. The smoothing out of the buttercream took a very long time!
Next up....a First Communion cake for my cousin's sweet girl named Ava Rose. Her favourite colours are lime green, sky blue and yellow. I LOVED this colour combination.
Since I had the rolled fondant out, I coloured some of it yellow and used it for the ciborium/chalice. I used buttercream to make the designs over it.
Then I had two Baptism cakes to make.
I had a ridiculous amount of red icing leftover from the hockey jersey cake so I added some blue and it turned a dark purple/burgundy. I had a hard time getting the rolled fondant to match....but it was close enough. I trimmed the cake in hearts along the side.
I did the same cross on the next cake....only in blue this time.
Graph paper and rolled fondant became my new best friends this weekend!
