Watercolor Wedding Cake Design

Nothing like the excitement of a #blank canvas and itchy hands. Can't wait to share with you some amazing cakes I've been working on for this week's clients.

Watercolor art on this spring-inspired wedding cake. The couple wanted a floral theme, without the sugar flowers, and this is what we came up with! I can't begin to tell you how much I enjoyed creating this piece.

Citrus Cake

Lemon cake filled with tangy lemon curd, frosted with lemon buttercream and decorated with candied lemon and orange slices. The sunrise gave me inspiration for this cake.

Decorating with candied lemon and orange slices today. It's been a gloomy week for me so far. Hopefully this cheerful lemon cake will chase the darkness away.

Inside look at the Lemon cake. I decided to tint the cake layers too, to make it extra sunny and cheerful. 

London Fog Cake

London Fog, such a romantic name for a cake! It's a rich chocolate cake with Earl Gray Swiss meringue buttercream and salted caramel drip.
