Blush and Ruffles Cake!

I was so excited, when a few weeks ago I was invited by 5th Avenue Weddings & Events to participate as the cake decorator at an intimate bridal show hosted in conjunction with Simply K Studios. This was my first ever bridal show so this setting was perfect!  I cannot wait to see the beautiful photo's that Simply K Studios took of the beautiful displays that 5th Avenue Weddings created!  I designed a cake (and tasting samples) that were featured on a gorgeous dessert table!

I promise to share the pictures from the event as soon as I have them, but for now here is the cake I designed for the show!
Meena (the creative mind behind 5th Avenue Weddings & Events) suggested ruffles because they are very "in" right now.  So ruffles ended up being the basis behind my design for this cake.  I love how the layers of fondant ruffles look like delicate fabric and give the cake a feminine and vintage-y look! 
I didn't want to overwhelm my little cake with too many ruffles, so the middle layer is simply adorned with fondant, fabric-looking flowers, gumpaste "jewelry," sugar pearls and dragees... 
That is not a real jewelry piece!  This is a gumpaste sugar broach I made!  I added sugar pearls and silver dragees for a little extra shine and sparkle.  The broach itself is dusted with edible "Platinum Dust" to give it a soft metallic look.  People could not believe it wasn't real :)

I had such a great time, met some beautiful brides and some really wonderful industry professionals.  What an honor it was to be included.  If you are in the CT/New England area check out:

      Thank you so much! I have to admit, I was really nervous about doing ruffles on the cake, I've seen them done poorly before... but I kind of love how this came out!
