    If I haven’t mentioned this before, I have a fear of carbohydrates that is simply irrational.  And so, I admire wedding cakes from afar, with a lustful eye, simply admiring their beauty rather than tasting their sweet, sweet goodness (that said, I have an insane recall memory and even after one bite, I can tell  you EXACTLY what a certain bakers filling, or fondant or red velvet cake tasted like.).  In any case, the point is, I admire a beautiful wedding cake and have always wished that everyone, no matter the budget or locale, could have a stunning cake!  Well, NOW thanks to Amy at Suga...

Why not get a plain ol' white cake and dress it up yourself? These sugar flowers from Wendy Kromer allow you to mix and match, pick and choose. DIY. That's right. I said it. DIY. I know how those words strike fear in the hearts of many. And to you who feel the fear: be still my babies. But for just as many, those three little letters sound like the tinkling of tiny fairy bells at dawn, and this post is for you. Ring. Ring aling....

    My gift box birthday cake was inspiration for this 3 tier stacked gift box cake with sugar flowers. To add a touch of whimsy, we spiced up the color scheme of this cake using a much brighter color palette of pink and oranges inspired by this whimsical cake.The top of the cake includes a pink loop bow with trailing pink tails. And the top box lid is covered in ivory fondant with sugar flowers and tissue paper flowing out. Flavors included vanilla with oreos and cream buttercream, vanilla cake with hazelnut mousse and chocolate cake with raspberry chambord mousse. We delivered the cake to ...

    Sugar Flower Shop Oh my goodness - do you see that flower up there? Isn't it beautiful? Can you believe it's made of sugar and molded to be the amazing work of art that it is?

    Well, as you know my sister and I are trying to learn how to make all sorts of sugar flowers.  We have become quite obsessed with them and my credit card bill definitely proves it!  I have only actually taken one class from Ron Ben-Israel on how to make sweet pea sugar flowers and the rest we have learned through books and watching videos from Nicholas Lodge.  Sugar flowers are very tedious and require a lot of patience (and tools), but they are also one of the more artistic aspects of cake decorating.  The cake was buttermilk cake with white chocolate mousse buttercream and fresh strawber...
