Spring Pastels



Cake - White
Frosting - Buttercream w/ Sotas
Filling - Vanilla Cream
Border - Ruffles & Shells w/ reverse shells
Roses - Fondant
Servings - 30
I wouldn't normally call this a wedding cake because of the variety of colors, but I couldn't figure out where to place it. This was the final cake for my cake decorating class. It's a bit busy, but it was an opportunity to show what I learned in the class. Working with fondant was a new experience. It is a great medium for personalized decorations. Fondant roses may take more time than buttercream, but it is time worth spent. They are easier to craft and hold up better. The reason they take more time is because of the drying time required. You have to plan a head if you want to use them. My suggestion? Make a bunch in different colors a head of time. Then you always have some to choose from. They pretty much last forever.
