Pink roses & daisies cake

 I made this special cake for a very special lady's birthday- my Grandma just turned 93 years old! She loves pink anything and everything, and needless to say loved her cake so much she didn't want me to cut it at first!

 I made white roses and varying shades of pink blossoms using royal icing, which dries hard. I used gumpaste (an edible clay-like substance) to make the daisies. Edible champagne colored lustre dust and edible glitter and sugar pearls were all used to further embellish the cake.

Nina was also thrilled with my pink hair 😂💞

Galaxy Cake

 I had so much fun making my first Galaxy cake! After crumb coating and chilling a layered 6 in cake, I split up the gelatinous white chocolate mixture into several different  bowls.

 I used food gel to make aqua, navy blue, black, orange, red, yellow, and green icing. I then poured each one over the cake in whatever fashion I desired, creating a swirled painted effect.

 You can use any combination of colors- I'm looking forward to making more Galaxy cakes in the future now that I know how simple the technique really is!

 I balanced the cake on a cake plate on an overturned vase to allow the icing to drip and collect in a cake pan.

 Disco dust edible glitter and edible sugar pearls completed the intergalactic look!
