I really love the royal icing piped lace look - it's a white cake with black "lace"- that I have been seeing a lot on Cake Central. I decided to do my own interpretation of it. 1) I didn't want to do the exact same thing and 2) My piping skills are NOT up to par ...haha. The cake was a tall 6inch round cake with 3 layers. Almond cake with layers of amaretto buttercream and amaretto chocolate gananche. I also made homemade marshmallow fondant to cover the cake as well. I also added the gum paste flower on the side. Overall I'm happy with it, but I want to work with royal icing a lot more. You can do some really beautiful things with it :)
Happy Birthday Lauren!!
What a cute cake, I like the way you decorated it.
ReplyDeleteI love armaretto too, you made my mouth water, yum yum :p
P.S.. If you mix cherry brandy with armaretto and coke you get dr. pepper! *drools*
