Chocolate Ganache Wedding Cake

Picture
This is the biggest wedding cake I've done to date! The bottom tier is 14" and it was my first time using that cake pan.
Picture
The cake is sour cream chocolate cake and each layer was filled with raspberry preserves and chocolate Italian meringue buttercream. Each tier was also crumb coated with chocolate Italian meringue buttercream.
Picture
The flowers are made with gumpaste and are tones of pink with gold centres. Gold lustre dust was used to pipe stems between some of the flowers on the cake as well.
Picture
Each tier was coated in a layer of bittersweet chocolate ganache before the flowers were applied.
Picture
This cake is definitely going to be delicious - I hope it makes the 150km drive without any issues at all! Congratulations to the couple and all the best on their wedding day!

Tiara Cake with Gumpaste Princess

Picture
I honestly think doing children's birthday cakes is my favorite kind of cake to make. I love how much color can be incorporated and the themes are so fun to work with!
Picture
The cake was a vanilla bean sour cream cake filled with a strawberry vanilla bean filling and iced in a vanilla bean Italian meringue buttercream. The vanilla buttercream also filled up the gaps to the edges of the cake - I just hadn't wanted any chunks of strawberry to make their way out and cause the fondant to tear or for lumps to appear.
Picture
The princess was made of gumpaste and her dress was brushed with lustre dust and steamed to give it the sheen that it has.
Picture
The tiara was made from gumpaste and some gumpaste accents were applied to it and some food coloring was painted on to add details. I used three or four shades of pink petal dust to give it the depth of colors that it has.
Picture
A variety of colors of gumpaste flowers and a handful of gumpaste butterflies completed the design. I hope it's a happy 3rd birthday for the princess!
