Terry and Mary Ellen’s 30th Anniversary
My co-worker commissioned this for her friends’ 30th wedding anniversary. The bottom tier is a 10-inch chocolate cake and topped with a 6-inch vanilla cake. Together, these cakes would serve 40 people. I charge $140 for a cake this size and design. The cake stand pictured could be rented for a small fee and deposit.
Square Cake
This weekend I used both a new cake recipe and my new square cake pans. I was pretty pleased with the results. The vanilla cake is a recipe that claimed to be very moist, and it was as advertised. This is a 1-tier, 6-inch cake, which has been torted and layered with my favorite: buttercream. I think the quilt-like technique was pretty neat too. Because this cake is only one layer, it would serve 4 to 5 people.
St. Germain Anniversary
Happy 1st anniversary Sean and Rachael. This is a 6-inch chocolate buttermilk cake with chocolate buttercream frosting. The fondant is cream-colored and detailed in icing. The carnations are made from a combination of fondant and gumpaste. If I repeated this design, I would probably put a matching ribbon or strip of fondant around the bottom, instead of the piped-icing border. This cake serves 8 people.
