# 130 Delicate White Flowers Wedding Cake

May 4th, 2012

Delicate White Flowers Wedding Cake

Oh how I love this cake!

This cake was amazing. The bottom layer was dark chocolate cake, filled with (my own recipe) chocolate mousse. The middle was french vanilla cake, filled with fresh strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. The top was red velvet cake, filled with a cream cheese/cheesecake filling.

The whole cake was covered in a lightly tinted vanilla buttercream, and over one hundred tiny hand-crafted fondant flowers.

LOVE!

♥ Mr & Mrs ♥

Cutting the cake! I love that I have this picture.

# 129 The Cake Stand Cake

The Cake Stand Cake

So I made this cake stand, and I immediately needed to try a cake on it.

(Of course!)

This was a chocolate cake, with a peanut butter filling (it just sounded too good not to try), covered in vanilla buttercream.

It was thoroughly enjoyed. :o)

# 128 Williams Wedding Cake

Williams Wedding Cake

This wedding cake was for a friend of mine's daughter. Their Utah theme was "monster movies" - which I thought was awesome! So I tried to do something that served some justice to how unique and awesome they were.

This cake was made up of layers of chocolate cake that had a peanut butter filling, and a white & yellow cake that had a vanilla marshmallow buttercream filling, all covered in vanilla buttercream and decorated with a garland of 96 hand-crafted gum paste flowers.

Aren't they great? This is my favorite.

I get an opportunity to take a picture with the cake!

The happy couple ♥

MS Fundraiser Cake

I made this cake for the MS fundraiser event in Chicago. This cake was a dark chocolate, german chocolate, and white cake, with a chocolate peanut butter filling, covered in vanilla buttercream and fondant.

Testimonials

"Patricia is my go-to cake woman now. I will never buy another store bought cake for any special occasion. Her ingenuity and artistic expression are beyond compare! I have never had a cake from her that didn't exceed my expectations. She takes everything to the next level. She is professional and timely, and the price is always right. My children know that their birthday cakes are coming from Patricia and they start planning their cakes well in advance because they remember the last cake she made for them so vividly. It is obvious from the quality of her work that her cakes are her passion. She puts her heart into each one. Not only are they always beautiful and exciting but they are also delicious! Patricia is the best cake maker/decorater around! Hands down!" --Keeley Condie

"Patricia is wonderfully clever, and does really cute cakes. I asked her to make a birthday cake for my son, who is a phlebotomist in a hospital. The realistic arm she created looked ready to have its blood drawn, clenched fist and band on the upper arm and all, and she finished the scene with the appropriate gauze and band aids and a syringe, all out of fondant of course. Perhaps this particular cake is not your style :) , but it was a huge hit with my son and his friends. They were especially impressed when they cut into it and saw layered flesh-toned and blood-red cakes -- Patricia thinks of everything!
I found that Patricia really listened to what I wanted, then suggested extra details (like the band aids) beyond what I had expressed to make my cake just right.
She lives really close to me, so I went to pick it up, and was glad that she had prepared a solid base for it so the almost life-sized arm could be transported securely and with great stability. My son lives a good hour away, so I was pleased that I could deliver his cake with confidence.
I was very happy with her service and her product." --Eileen Leite

"Patricia,
I have had several of your cakes now and they have all been amazing, this one did take the prize though. It looked completely amazing and all four tiers were delicious. I especially love the fact they were all different flavors and that you made it with frosting and not fondant, it made it taste home made yet it looked professional. Not to mention the gorgeous flowers you had wrapping up it and the silver border you had on every tier. My parents loved it and said it completed their anniversary. You truly have a gift, your doing all of my cakes in the future. I cant tell you enough how much everyone loved this cake." --Dana Bergan
