Relief Society Birthday Cake 2012

I made these three cakes for Relief Society's 170th birthday, the woman's organization of my church. Each cake is a different flavor, frosted with non dairy whipped topping and decorated with buttercream. I decorated the sides with the popular flat roses but left the top smooth to decorate and write on. The emblem is a laminated computer printout (non edible). I think they turned out nice.

100th Birthday Cake

These cakes were made for my Grandma's 100th birthday celebration. I simplified the decorations on the second cake to keep the theme but not be as time consuming. They are both frosted with non dairy whipped topping and decorated with buttercream roses. I sprinkled the roses with clear glitter flakes to make the roses glisten and look like dew drops.

Simple Rose Birthday Cake

I made this simple birthday cake for my co-worker. I flavored the non dairy whipped topping (Pastry Pride) with cocoa powder to make a light chocolate flavored frosting. Just add cocoa powder (I guess at the amount) to the liquid before you start whipping and it will incorporate perfectly. I shaved a chocolate bar on the top of the cake for added decoration and flavor. The roses are buttercream.

Rose Birthday Cake

A traditional birthday cake design, frosted with non dairy whipped topping and decorated with buttercream frosting. As with this cake, I usually bake two cakes and stack them with filling in the middle.

Princess Birthday Cake

A Pretty Princess Birthday cake for two lovely princesses. Frosted with Non dairy whipped topping and decorated with buttercream.

Pink Rose Wedding Cake

This is my Mom's wedding cake and the first cake I used tiers with. It was a good cake to practice using tiers with since the cakes were small and only two cakes tall. The flowers are small real roses which  I used petals from to decorate the sides. The frosting is Pastry Pride, a non dairy whipped topping which is a lighter less sweet frosting and gives a fresher taste to the cake.

Black & White Wedding Cake

I finally learned how to make frosting roses and was able to use my new skill for the roses on this cake. I made the roses a few days in advance so the assembly of the cake would go as quickly as possible. The black on the top of the cake is edible glitter flakes.

Wedding Cake with Blue Flowers

I decorated this wedding cake with silk flower because I was not too knowledgeable with making edible flowers nor did I have much experience stacking cakes or using tiers. So the silk flowers made a pretty alternative and these individual cake stands solve my lack of experience of stacking cakes.
