More Cakes!! (Spring)

Since it is Mother's day and Spring is beginning, here are some cakes made for Spring! These were cakes made a few weeks ago and I did not write down which cake was which. One is lavender cake with white chocolate cremeux and the other is an orange chiffon cake with cherry pie filling.


Spring flower basket with butterflies. It was my first time making the basket weave. It does not look very good, but not a complete fail. 


Cherry Blossom Cake. I made tons and tons of the flower, but went with the neat and simple route. I was originally going to load the cake with the flowers, but Chef's voice came in my head. "Less is more" It still looks nice, right?

Mother's Day


Mother's Day cake number 1
Vanilla cake with swiss butter cream


Mother's Day cake number 2
Lemon poundcake with rhubarb filling and lemon curd swiss butter cream


Made both of these cakes at school. Cake number 1 was a practice for my block practicum and cake number 2 was a cake that I did not get a chance to finish before the practicum. Thought I had time to finish both, but was wrong. I managed to cover both of the cakes in fondant and rushed to decorate cake number 1. Cake number 2 was decorated by my little sister, when I brought it home.
