Colette Peters

In November, I was fortunate enough to take a Colette Peters cake decorating class at the Notter School of Pastry Arts in Orlando. It was a 4 day course which I thoroughly enjoyed and learned so much from this very talented lady who you might have seen on the food network or maybe you have seen one of her cake books. She has written 5 wonderful books with information on how to create some of her beautiful cake designs. For more information on Colette, go to www.colettescakes.com and view some of her beautiful work. She also posts her class schedule on her website.

Kelley's Wedding Cake


Kelley's wedding took place at the Jupiter Yacht Club. This wedding cake had 2 tiers of one flavor and 2 tiers of another. The 1st and 3rd tiers were chocolate cake with raspberry filling and vanilla buttercream frosting. The 2nd and 4th tiers were yellow cake with chocolate orange swiss meringue buttercream filling/frosting. All tiers were covered in fondant.

Castle Cake

The main "building" of the castle is a yellow cake with pineapple filling which has been frosted with vanilla buttercream and covered in fondant . The 4 turrets of the castle are made out of fondant and ice cream cones. All of the details of the castle are also made of fondant except for the marshmallows which are placed around the top.
