Flower Cakes

I recently made two cakes for a luncheon honoring a baby blessing.

The yellow cake was a 6″ butter cake. The decoration is buttercream around the sides, whipped cream on top, and buttercream accents around fresh berries.

The cake was 4 layers of butter cake and 3 layers of filling: strawberries and cream, boysenberries and cream, and raspberries and cream.

The pink cake was a 9″ chocolate cake. Other than the cake flavor, it was the same as the yellow cake.

This one went quickly. Berries, cream, and chocolate is a very nice combination.

    Thank you! I’ll reserve a place in my (nonexistant) wedding calendar just for you.

    I have a terrible memory where people are concerned, but I’m glad to be reintroduced! I’ll stop by and check out your blog. :)

    It IS an Eddie Izzzard reference! I knew you could be counted on to get it. :)

    “But you said death!…well, alright. You’re lucky we’re Church of England!”
