Butterfly Cake for the Birthday Girl

03-13-10 This is a 6" round cake specially made just for the birthday girl turning 1. Her party was decorated with the 1st birthday butterfly theme from Oriental Trading Company. This is the number one that the butterfly was hugging on the themed paper products.The one was piped on with a tip 5 and then a paint brush used to feather it into the center. The vines, blue flowers, and leaves were placed just as they were on the paper plates.The base border was a simple pattern of dots with a leaf placed after every fifth one.

Frilly Hearts - Butterfly

03-13-10 This was the cake for the party attendees. It was a yellow Butter cake with buttercream filling. The top border was my first attempt at a reverse shell. I am rather pleased with how it turned out. The sides had four frilly hearts that held a grouping of three dark pink flowers with yellow centers and three green leaves. In between the hearts was stringing. The base border was a regular shell border. The top held the requested message as well as a representation of the butterfly that was on the paper goods chosen for the theme.

Frilly Hearts - Princess

03-13-10 Since the party was a joint one for her and her sister, I wanted their cakes to match, but be different. The sides of the cake have the same frilly heart filled with a grouping of three deep pink flowers with yellow centers and three leaves. Also, like the other cake the base border is a shell border and the top border, a reverse shell. The difference on the sides is the design for the stringing. The color was tinted a deeper pink to better fit with the Disney princess theme. The top of the cake had the requested message as well as the Disney princess crown design. This cake was triple chocolate fudge with fudge chocolate icing as the filling.
