I made this cake about a month ago for the mother of a dear friend of mine. She was celebrating three other of her friend’s birthdays along with her own, so I did a simple, yet elegant birthday cake for all four of them. I wrote all of their names along the cake board using royal icing and made the bow on top with fondant. Hopefully in the near future I can do a tutorial on making fondant bows for you! The cake had two different flavors: the top tier was chocolate cake with chocolate ganache and raspberries and the bottom tier was buttermilk cake with lemon cream and raspberries. I covered the cake in swiss meringue buttercream and then colored a portion of the buttercream and piped on small dots for the border.

You make me sick, with your perfectly decorated cake. Decorating cakes takes a lot of talent, and you have it!
Very, very cute… I love small cakes. And the flavors sound really good too, chocolate on one side and buttermilk and lemon on another. Perfect!
You are great!! I’m supposed to make a wedding cake next month for my cousin’s wedding. I’m getting nervous as this will be my first wedding cake!
Gorgeous cake. I’m happy that the frosting wasn’t fondant.
Thanks everyone for your sweet comments! The cake isn’t anything over the top special, but I guess we all like cakes like that sometimes. Good luck on your first wedding cake CakeWardrobe…I can’t wait to see it!
