Well, I think this has to be my favorite cake of all. I made these cakes for my boss and I just love how they came out. I also found out my favorite cake combination - white cake flavored with a bit of almond, filled with lemon curd (next time I will also place fresh raspberries in the filling) and topped with vanilla buttercream - it is sooooooo good! The other is a chocolate cake filled with chocolate mousse and topped with chocolate buttercream. I love chocolate and all, but the other one is so vibrant and refreshing.

I have been thinking of different fun things to do with fondant so I made this mini heart cake for Valentine's Day.

I finally purchased a gum paste flower kit so I could make the queen of all flowers - the orchid. I was so excited to try it out for the first time. I didn't have chalk to color it, so I used gel coloring and vanilla as a paint, although it makes the surface of the gum paste have a pearlescent effect - I don't mind though, I think its pretty!
