My Sister's Wedding Cake

Last Saturday one of my older sisters, Jessica, married her fiance, Andrew. I had the honor of being one of her bridesmaids and making their wedding cake.

Jessica designed every little detail about the cake, I just created it. I was worried about a couple of things with this cake. One of them was that since I was going to be in the wedding and making the cake, I thought I wouldn't have nearly enough time, but that turned out to be no problem. The second was that I was afraid it was going to be really hot and the buttercream would melt. Fortunately, the temperature was in the mid 70's the day of the wedding, so that wasn't a problem either. I really couldn't have asked for better circumstances.

Congratulations Jess and Andrew, I love you both!

Snowman Cake

We haven't had any snow yet this winter and this past weekend we had miserable freezing rain, so I made this cake to help brighten the mood.

His body is buttercream and his buttons, nose, scarf, and mouth are fondant. For his arms I stripped the flowers and leaves off of silk flowers and used the remaining branches. I was going to give him a hat, but I didn't have time. I'm really excited with how he turned out though!

P.S. This was my first 3 tiered cake! :)
