Raspberry Cake

A piece I am quite fond of. There's a story behind this raspberry birthday cake. The beloved birthday girl was born in a raspberry field! She was so eager to arrive there was no time to waste to get to a hospital. So every year on her birthday they celebrate with a raspberry cake.

I was so honored to be able to make this. It feels to be a very important tradition in the client's family. So I put a twist on the favorite and made the cake into a little basket! Chocolate cake on the inside with raspberry jam and fresh raspberries between the layers. Surrounded with wafers and held together with a little bow.

This is.. Most definitely one of my favorite creations.

Rainbow Birthday Cake

I wanted my mother's birthday cake to be special this year- to add to the special party that we threw for her!
It was a wild success overall! Although my video camera stopped working we got some good shots to remember the day.


It started off with a surprise private state with all the family that could be pulled in! A couple coudn't participate due to bad timing (of being pregnant or recently having a concussion) but it was great to have everyone in the room! Even if you couldn't skate!

I for one hadn't skated in.... 15 odd years? Maybe longer? Surprisingly I help up strong! Didn't fall once ;)

The evening continued with more food then you could ever imagine and this cake. 3 tiers chocolate on the bottom tier and vanilla for the top. Equipped with rainbow sprinkles and fondant roses. I originally wanted a flamingo topper however the pink bird was a solid choice.

It was an amazing day of fun and family- I was thrilled that it went so well. Started the plans in August- for the party beginning of December. A lot threatened to stop the excitement but we got through it all and had an amazing day!!
