Elegant Spring Cake

This is a cake I named Elegant Spring Cake. I made this cake for a my friends' birthdays this month in March.  Since Spring is right around the corner, I thought it would be appropriate for something fresh, stylish, and chic.  I chose bright yellow for the handmade flowers while the metallic finish in silver still made it elegant. Feliz cumpleanos, chicas! 

Romantic Ruffled Birthday Cake

My husband's grandmother (babanne) turned either 92 or 93 this year. Yes,  we are not sure because there was discrepancy back in the day with what the actual year was on her birth certificate! Anyway, babanne was so happy to have a cake for her birthday this year.  She said her birthday was SO nice this year, it would probably be her last (even though she has been saying this is her "last birthday" for past 20 years)!

I choose a ruffled and Tiffany & Co. colors to create the style of the cake below.

Hope you make it to 100!
Love, Vanessa

May the force be with you

Star Wars rocks my son's world these days so he was quite
jealous when I made this cake.  I decorated this cake with
the cool blue and rockin' red light sabers - gotta have these, right?
To get the glitter look, I first rolled out the fondant. Secondly, I used a fine bristled paint brush and "painted" the fondant with the glitter (I used Wilton's edible glitter dust in Silver). When finished, I used a star cookie-cutter for the stars.
Happy 6th Birthday, Arda!
