This was actually a cake I made for my sisters' co-workers wedding. I made her Bridal Shower cake (which I think is a little too raunchy to be posted), and she requested me again for her wedding cake. In doing this cake, I realized just how much of an amatuer I really am. She asked for a 3-tiered Chocolate cake covered all in black fondant! Yikes! I tried my darndest, but with the humidity in our house at that time (August) and the amount of food coloring that had to go in it, it just didn't work out and at the absolute LAST minute, I opted for piped swirls in White Buttercream. Ugh. It was a good cake though, and ultimately, if a cake doesn't taste good...what's the point?! The cake was Chocolate pudding dense cake with raspberry filling, almond filling, and chocolate mousse filling. Covered in Chocolate Buttercream and decorated w/ White almond buttercream. The flowers are Cherry Blossoms out of Royal Icing. Here's a few shots of the progression and the finished product:

Hil- you are amazing (and I want to se the raunchy one too!) and I want to hire you!!! I am doing two baby showers, one in July and one in August and I would love for you to do the cake/cupcakes whatever. One is a boy, and one is going to be a surprise. Tell me how much you would charge and what types of things we could do.
Thanks girlie!!!!
