Fairy Garden Cake

One of our favorite cake this week! A fairy garden theme cake. Both cakes are triple chocolate cake, devils food cake, dark chocolate ganache, and covered with light green vanilla buttercream. I love anything whimsical! The pink flowers were made with dogwood gumpaste cutter.What do you guys think? Isn't cute?

Carey wanted a cake for Cadence's third birthday this weekend and wanted it to be Tinkerbell themed. We decided on a cake that used lots of pinks, purples, and greens. For those of you who haven't watched the new Tinkerbell movie, well then you clearly don't have kids :) In any case, the top tier was a Spices & Cake cake (Spice cake layered with buttercream) while the bottom cake was a Brownie Lovers Cake (chocolate cake layered with chocolate ganache and a layer of brownies). I wanted to show another side of the cake so that you could get a feel for the whole design, and not just the leading lady. I also wanted to show what the inside of the Brownie Lovers Cake looks like. It's SO decadent and chocolately that it would fix anyone's chocolate craving (especially mine).

Enchanted Garden Fairy Tea Party

For my daughter's 6th birthday celebration last summer, I created an Enchanted Garden Fairy Tea Party for her and eleven of her closest little fairy friends. We were blessed with the most gorgeous Southern California weather, which made it perfect for me to set up her party amidst the gardens in our backyard. Everything turned out beautifully and I couldn't have been more happier with the outcome...my little sweetheart had the most enchanting time ever!

Brianna's favorite color is pink, so I incorporated that color into the linens as well as the entire tablescape decor. I added pink feathered boas to the satin chair sashes to give it a little whimsical touch.

A close-up of the table decor. An assortment of silk gerber daisies, tulips and roses were combined with fairy statues, butterflies and birdies to create an enchanted garden setting. I also included an iron bird cage in the center of the table to add to the whimsy feel. A pink paper parasol was the perfect addition to complete the look!

Definitely the sweetest spot of the party =)

A garden birthday cake made with love for my little sweetheart! I decided at the last minute to try out my cake baking skills...to my delight, the cake turned out adorable! I was inspired by the scroll design on the cupcake stand...
