Mom's Birthday Cake


This is a birthday cake I made for my mom.  The top tier is a 6" round of a 3 layer dark chocolate cake with ganache.  The bottom tier is a 8" hexagon of a 4 layer sponge cake filled with lemon curd, swiss meringue buttercream, and homemade strawberry jam.  Both cakes were covered with MMF tinted in ivory/ soft pink (my mom loves pink).



The flowers were made by me.  They were painted with pearly dusts in multi-colors.  I am still learning on how to make gumpaste/ fondant flowers.  Hopefully with time, I will make prettier and known flowers (lol).

D's Birthday Cupcakes



These are cupcakes my husband requested for his birthday.  One set are vanilla sponge cakes (for him); the other set are chocolate cupcakes (for me).  They are all topped with strawberry and mango puree (D's favorite fruits) and strawberry and mango meringue buttercream.
