I know I've been MIA for a while, again! I've been lucky enough to enjoy a very busy summer, both with business and family events. So, now I get to play a little catch up.
Today, I'm posting a cake I made back in August. A friend ordered it from me for her sister's bridal shower. I've been wanting to make gumpaste succulents for over a year now and she was using succulents as a decoration for the shower, so naturally I designed the cake around them!
We decided to go for a simple, clean and modern look. The succulents became the focus, a grouping of 3, so as not to overwhelm the petite cake. The bottom layer is an 8" round that is about 6" tall and the top is a 6" round about 4" tall. I thought the differences in tier height would add some interest without adding design "clutter."
I am SO happy with how my succulents came out... I definitely intend to film a tutorial ASAP! It fit in so well with the beautiful room that my friend designed for the shower! I'm so happy that my little cake got to play a part!
Thanks for looking!
*Sorry, the pictures aren't the greatest... I forgot to bring my camera that day (of all days!) and had to suffice with the camera on my phone!
Happy Caking :)
Renee, that's beautiful! Great job! I've actually never seen this type of flower before so I learned something new. Now let me teach you something - don't apologize. The pictures are beautiful and no one would know otherwise. You are pointing out your own imperfections. Let people think your spectacular! Now if someone/something had photo bombed and those were the only shots, then I would understand :-) Love the brushed on color on the edges!
