garden lattice

Fresh flowers give any wedding cake a fabulous finishing flourish. Here delicate sugar pearls subtly accent a garden lattice design in cream cheese frosting. I made this cake in June of 2013 for a friend’s garden reception.

smooth white fondant

For a long time I avoided using fondant because of the bad taste I associated with it.  However, I stumbled on a recipe that is not only easy to make, it tastes pretty good, too--no bad chemical aftertaste--just a thin layer of delightfully sweet sugar and vanilla draped over rich butter cream frosting. There is nothing like a clean white canvas to get the imagination going.  A wedding cake covered with smooth white fondant welcomes endless decorating possibilities.
