DeAngela's Wedding Cake

DeAngela's wedding took place at Winston Trails Country Club in Lake Worth. Her 3 tiered square cake consisted of several flavors. The bottom tier was yellow cake with strawberry filling, the middle tier was yellow cake with chocolate ganache filling and the top tier was yellow cake with vanilla buttercream filling. All 3 tiers were covered with a layer of vanilla buttercream and then white fondant brushed with pearl luster dust. The gold scrolls were handmade out of sugarpaste painted with an edible gold paint. There were styrofoam risers in between the tiers to create more height. The risers were covered in gold fondant. The flowers on top were fresh calla lillies and orchids. The beautiful square silver cake stand was rented from Lise's Bakery.

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.
